YouTuber and Ship 30 alum @mattragland put together an epic video review of his Ship 30 experience.

Check it out:

During the onboarding survey we ask:

"What's your current biggest writing struggle?"

Here's a word cloud of these universal struggles (just in case you thought you were the only one)

@IAmAndrewKirby

We've got some big YouTuber's onboard this cohort!

• @IAmAndrewKirby
• @florinpop1705
• @butler_chris

Excited to see what they do taking their videos skills to the writing world (and also what they can teach us about building massive YouTube channels)

Digging into the onboarding survey: "What are you looking to achieve from writing online?"

Some popular answers:

• Build an audience
• Build a business
• Clarify my thinking
• Validate ideas for my book
• Attract like-minded people
• Better understand my niche

Oh man - and this one.

This one might resonate with a lot of people.

"First and foremost, mental clarity and understanding of my life. Second, having the writing be one part of escaping the corporate grind to create things for a living."

Another 34 Shippers hopping aboard so far today (up to 673!)🚢🚢🚢

Join the fun - or watch sadly from the shore until January!

48 hours left to hop aboard!

In this thread, I reflected on my 30-threads-in-30-days personal challenge from August of 2020.

This formed the basis of Ship 30 - after seeing how powerful writing every day was for me, I knew others would benefit too:

Ship 30 serves many people with many different goals - which is why I love reading testimonials (because every one of them is unique).

Some mention the content, others the clarity, and others how it helped them get out of their own way.

But EVERYONE mentions the community.

Jeff Bezos built Amazon into a $200B+ empire.

And his most famous decision-making model was inspired by a book he has reread every year for 25+ years.

7 lessons from "The Remains of the Day":🧵

The book follows Stevens, an English butler who sacrificed everything for "professional dignity."

But in his final years, he realizes a devastating truth:

• His dignity was a prison
• He never lived for himself
• His whole life was spent in fear

This revelation shook Bezos to his core.

At 30, he was the youngest Senior VP at D.E. Shaw:

• Making $1M/year
• On track to be partner
• Living the Wall Street dream

But something felt off:

Everyone should have a digital business that makes $10k/month.

But most overthink, never start, and waste years.

This is the simple playbook that took me from $0 to $40k/month while working full-time at BlackRock:🧵

1. Start a Side Hustle While Working Full-Time

Don't quit your job right away. Instead, trade time for money until you can trade what you've learned for money.

Here's how to choose a high-leverage job (so you don’t waste time in your 9 to 5):

In January 2020, I started to write online.

For 9 months, I worked on my newsletter which hardly anyone read.

So, I picked one platform (𝕏) and went all-in.

I wrote a thread every day for 30 days. On day 28, one of them went viral.

Here's the story:

For years, I struggled to build a daily writing habit.

But now I write for 90 minutes every single day.

I used these 5 dead-simple steps to create a habit I could actually stick to:🧵

By the end of this thread you will have:

1. Found time to write
2. Generated 12 months of ideas
2. Set a daily publishing cadence
4. Overcome your procrastination
5. Built a bulletproof accountability system

So you can start writing today.

Let's go:

Step 1. Design your writing routine in a single sentence.

This is immediately where most people go wrong.

They set a vague goal to "start writing."

Instead, you want to define:

• When you're writing
• Where you're writing
• For how long you're writing

Here's an example:

The single most powerful habit for personal growth:

Journaling.

Over the past 5 years, I have tested 1,000+ prompts and journaled every single day.

And I always return to these 5 simple prompts:🧵

For my prompts, I use:

• The 80/20 Audit
• The Morning Kickstart
• The Evening Shutdown
• The Bottleneck Analysis
• The Compounding Projection

For notebook & pen, I use:

• Muji 0.5 pens
• Leuchtturm1917 soft-covers

Here's why I picked these tools:

Prompt 1: The Morning Kickstart

My current morning routine:

• Make a fresh double espresso
• Crack open my notebook
• Brain dump answers to 5 questions

But here's the catch: I set strict limits.

No one has time to write a novel every morning—so here's what I do instead:

I used to hate AI.

I thought it was all hype.

But now I write with it every single day.

Here's how (with prompts):🧵

Everyone says AI is amazing.

But if it feels useless when you use it, don't worry:

You’ve never been shown how to actually write with it.

Here are 7 ways I use it to write better, faster, and with less effort:

1. Make AI your writing upgrader

When I first started using AI, I thought it was overhyped.

Turns out, I was just a terrible prompt writer.

Now I use these 7 simple prompts to upgrade my writing in seconds:

In the last 5 years, my little business has generated $15,000,000.

The secret?

Copywriting.

But when I first started to master it, I was completely overwhelmed.

So here's the 3-step learning process I wish I had back then (start using this today):🧵

Looking back, 99% of the things I did were a complete waste of time.

But 3 of them were life-changing.

1. Immersion into 1 copywriter's worldview

2. Reading 3 foundational copywriting books

3. Practicing copywork (to see what writing great copy feels like)

Let's dive in:

In the beginning, I had no clue where to start.

So I tried to:

• Read every book
• Take every course
• Study every sales letter
• Research every technique

This was overwhelming and a huge mistake.

Instead, you should pick 1 copywriter and immerse yourself:
