Time to kick off the ALL-NEW WRITING Challenge!

If you haven’t already, take my new data-driven online writing course to convert at higher rates and make your writing contagious:

And the all-new data-driven copywriting course to make your paid offer sell itself:

This new Challenge comes with a couple of my all-new Data-Driven Courses designed to help you sell (without selling). It’s short, it’s essential, and it’s zero fluff. For you, if you’re still struggling to “find your voice” or to get high-quality output from AI.

Why a Writing Challenge?

It’s clear: posts do get you new subscribers. And sales.

But it might be challenging to stay consistent.

And it’s often hard to find who or what to engage with to grow faster, especially when you search for a good read.

That’s why this challenge exists.

Within Unplugged, you have everything you need to grow your Substack:

the monthly Notes30 Challenge where you grow your free subscribers,
the weekly Write2Sell column where you convert them to paid and keep them paying,
the Substack Quest to bring you to your first (or next) bestseller badge faster,
the QUEST LABS with all the AI and automations, which helps you grow while you sleep, and…
this monthly Writing Challenge where you apply the knowledge from the Write2Sell column and the Quest in practice and actually work to grow your paid subscribers,
plus: the AI tools you can use to grow easier and faster (find the links below).
and: the ALL-NEW Data-Driven Online Writing Course and the Data-Driven Copywriting Course to make your writing contagious + make sure it sells.

What is it?

It’s a challenge for writing.

But not just writing.

It’s built to help you convert more subscribers, applying everything from the Write2Sell column and the Quest in practice, and feed your automations with more sales. Because learning how to do things is nothing if you don’t take action.

So, in this challenge, we’ll take action.

The Challenge:

PARTICIPANTS:

UNPLUGGED PAID MEMBERS

As usual, Paid and V.I.P. members have their private access to the GPTs, and the Data-Driven Online Writing Course, the Data-Driven Copywriting Course with all templates, cheat sheets, formulas, checklists, data banks, and supporting materials.

What you need to do:

Write and publish at least 1 post per week.
Join the challenge by adding yourself to the Accountability tracker
Make this challenge your daily engagement workflow: share your posts in the weekly thread (you can do that every day until the next post comes on Sunday), read, like and comment on other people’s posts - it helps them, AND YOU grow.

How to do that (faster)?

Take the ALL-NEW Data-Driven, NLP-infused, Online Writing Course and the Data-Driven Copywriting Course to make your writing contagious, AND make sure it sells for you (without selling).
Watch the Positioning, the Product, and the Content Strategies from the QUEST: to make sure your content matches your audience's needs.
Use my custom GPT the CREATIVETECH Writer Pro (free for paid members - use the link below) for outlines. I give my GPT one of my notes and ask it to expand it into a 1000-word article. I then edit and post for free. It works.
Make sure you add links to other posts, so that people keep reading (or start buying if they are paywalled - that’s what I did)
Add a compelling headline, one that opens a curiosity gap. Use my custom GPT the TITLE Generator (link below) - give it your entire article and it will come up with 10 titles suggestions.
Make sure you have a CTA at the end of your post, selling your product in a non-salesy way. How? Use my brand new custom GPT High Converting CTAs Writer (link below). Just give it the product description and it will generate you 10 non-salesy CTAs that convert. If you don’t have products to sell, become my affiliate and earn 30% from each sale. Apply here (I approve everyone).
Make the weekly boost posts your daily engaging routine:
- Share a quote from your post on Notes (select some shareable sentence & restack quote)
- Share a link to it on the Weekly Writing Challenge Sharing post: I will publish one every Sunday - it will arrive in your inbox.
- Read, like, comment and restack some of the other posts you like. Make this Challenge your daily engagement routine - it will help YOU and other Unplugged members grow faster.
Track your consistency: add yourself to the Accountability Tracker. I have a Prize for the most active!

The GOAL?

Real CA$H!!

Sales is what I do best, and in this newsletter, I help you do it too, without the fear of failure or alienating our audience. It’s all in the Quest.
