Real Reddit Reviews" (uploaded January 22, 2026) in which Nicolas Cole presents and promotes the Premium Ghostwriting Academy (PGA). Cole summarizes program outcomes and claims (over 2,000 writers trained, over $1M aggregate student revenue), describes PGA’s curriculum (writing, client fulfillment, sales, mindset), mentions co-instructor Dickie and related Ship 30 for 30 alumni, and reads multiple anonymous Reddit testimonials praising the program, community support, clinics, templates, and students who went on to build agencies. The excerpt is a single-speaker promotional/review monologue that uses quoted student reviews to provide social proof and program details.

Is Premium Ghostwriting Academy worth the investment? Well, we've had over 2,000 writers go through the program and we've helped students generate over a million dollars in aggregate student revenue. So this is revenue students have collected from clients that they've landed completely on their own using our framework systems, templates and strategies. That's because PGA isn't just a writing program, it's a client fulfillment program, teaching writers how to over deliver for their clients, over communicate expectations and set clear boundaries to avoid scope creep. It's also a sales program, teaching WR how to take a value first free consulting approach to sales. And maybe most importantly, it's a mindset program, helping writers break all their faulty beliefs around money and what's possible for themselves. There's a reason PGA graduates refer to the program as life changing, but here, don't take my word for it. Let's ask Reddit. All right, so the first one says I've been in PGA for a year now and I can confidently say this is the best training out there if you want to become a ghostwriter. I'm a member of multiple copywriting groups. Very few deliver on their promises. Nicholas and Dickie, however, are actively involved in the training and do weekly hot seats for members. They don't just teach theory, they give you actionable frameworks you can use right now to build your business. The community support is incredible. I've posted about technical issues, sales struggles, marketing questions and lead gen blocks and every time someone has a solution, fast. That's our goal. What makes this community different is that it's not just cheerleaders and empty wins. It's real people with real solutions. If you're serious about ghostwriting and want a proven path to turn your skill into a business, this is the one program I'd bet on again. So that's a student inside PGA who posted that anonymously on Reddit. The next one says yes, yes, yes and yes again. The level of support and access to Cole, who is one of the best marketers I've met, is insane. I've been in the program for 18 months and gone from zero to high five figure monthly recurring revenue. Couldn't recommend it more. Another person says, I'm in the academy and think it's fantastic. There's a lot of really amazing advice and content. Of course, I'm also an author trying to build my own brand, so I'm also learning how to do that while learning how to scale my ghostwriting business. So that's great. We have writers inside PGA that have all sorts of different ambitions, but they all use the same fundamental skills, which are learning how to write and learning how to write for other people and multiple ways to monetize your talents and how to build email sequences and how to write on social media. Right? Like all of these are foundational skills. Another person says, I'm into PGA. Short answer for me, it's 100% worth it. If you follow the curriculum, there is no way you won't land at least one ghostwriting client. But that said, a question I'd recommend asking yourself is are you willing to push your comfort zone boundaries because a lot of new skills will be required for you to learn. Yes, we tell people that up front. You know, it's not that it's hard, but it is going to take effort. All right, the next one says, I did Dickie and Cole's ship 30 for 30 program a little over a year ago and and I joined PGA around two months ago. I have also been in many other coaching, business coaching, writing and marketing programs, some of which charged far more than pga. I promise you, PGA is ridiculously high value for the money. They charge far more than any of the other programs I've been in. They teach a lot more than the core skill of ghost trading for business owners, entrepreneurs and solopreneurs. They teach you how to position yourself, how to use AI effectively with fully engineered prompts for you to use, how to do outreach and follow up, including the scripts that you can customize for yourself. They run four clinics per week. We actually added that. We now run seven clinics per week. One on tech, one on positioning and niche, one on sales, and one general hot seat clinic with me fielding questions, running the gamut of everything involved with building a ghostwriting business. And then this one says, I've been in PGA for more than a year now. It is the best ghostwriting academy on the planet. Thank you. The hot seats with both Cole and Dickey are full of knowledge and immensely helpful with your business mindset and digital writing. The one on one coach also helps you navigate limiting beliefs and helps you in all the areas to ensure you achieve success. And here's the last one. I really like this one PGA student here. I found this thread because I like to stalk the word of mouth of different companies. I usually don't comment, but seeing mixed comments here, I couldn't help but step in. Let me make this abundantly clear. If you have the ambition to become a full time ghostwriter and are willing to back it up with work, PGA is the best investment you can make and will pay for itself tenfold at least. When I bought it in 2023, it was the most expensive course I'd ever bought and I spent half my net worth as a 19 year old on it. I worked for a year before to save money. The only reason I considered it in the first place was because of Cole and Dickey. In 2022 I wanted to buy their other course, Ship 30, for 30, but as a student it was too expensive, even at $1,000. I applied for a scholarship and they took me in at significantly less. We had a really cool scholarship program that we ran at ship 30. The skills I learned through ship 30 are what got me my first job as a copywriter because I knew that Cole and Dickey always over deliver and that's why I bought pga. Was it an instant make a lot of money program? No. And if that's what you want, you're going to be disappointed. Did it teach me everything I needed to build a ghostwriting business? Absolutely yes. It took longer than I thought to make my first dollar from it. But two years later, here I am running a ghostwriting agency with all my writers hired directly out of pga. So this is actually something that we see happen a lot is not only do people go through PGA and learn how to land CL on their own, but they actually end up collaborating and working with other writers in pga. Sometimes they go on to build agencies of their own. It's been really cool to see. I've met Cole, Dickie, and most of the team in person and they're genuinely invested in making their products insanely good. Only later I realized how rare that quality is is the in the information space. As for PGA itself, I went through it two years ago and even though it was amazing, I looked into the new curriculum lately and everyone in there is spoiled with how good it is to today. So if you're not sure what PGA is like, you don't have to take my word for it. These are all reviews from students on Reddit, and I hope this gives you more of an unbiased opinion and perspective into how much work and effort and care we put into building our premium ghostwriting academy.
