These are the five different revenue streams that make me over $1 million a year as a writer. So number five is Typeshare. This is a SaaS platform that I'm a co founder in. We sell digital writing templates on a monthly subscription and this platform does around $400,000 per year in revenue. Number four is Write with AI. This is a paid newsletter that costs $20 and subscribers receive weekly chatgpt and Claude prompts. This paid newsletter also does around $400,000 per year, but as a vertical does upwards of a million per year including other digital product sales. Number three is different publishing. So this is my self pub. I've written 10 books and all of my book royalties flow into here. This vertical does around $200,000 per year. Number two is ship 30 for 30. This is a 30 day writing program for beginners. We've had over 10,000 writers go through it. This vertical does around $1 million per year in revenue. And number one, our biggest vertical is our Premium Ghostwriting Academy. This is a hands on coaching program for struggling freelance writers and copywriters who want to reposition themselves as premium ghostwriters. This vertical does around $5 million per year. I also get paid to speak and do consulting here or there, but these are the core businesses in my Portfol.
