I’m not talking about a life where you quit your job, move to a cabin in the woods, and become the next Stephen King. I’m talking about how being a great writer would make it easier to: - Work with your boss to convey complex ideas — or even ask for a raise (and get it!) - Talk to people like strangers at networking events, where you can use storytelling techniques to be interesting and memorable - Date online and make connections (a while back, [we rewrote a guy’s dating profile and got him 4x as many dates](113/d586LZ04/VXjvNf1Lf3mfV5gxG55GCbkNW72Qs8N5cXST7MfRflT3qn9gW95jsWP6lZ3kSW87tqm44gzQLhW7v9lS_3gLZMGW6vVZ9_5LhHj2VQZGlZ5wMfvmW4yQw8l3_1KnCW1tGZBs23cNh1W39JFjB7xltbqW39NhM_4HznpYW8CydWx5ppZ_zW5m676N7zNQz2W61YP_V2qTFqVW6pG0pJ2PBjW3W72Qrls70y_YHN5Vt171S-LjHW5jKJbW6zV3g4W45JcSm4qbQflW11_Qsx2GPH5sVj2fb53NFBlNW7LJHMz4d257DW7lLwDL20zj3kW1zq4F-41W3g-W6LJGrS1kTXL8W8bxcGD7Y8-KlN4xdn_zjcd8yW77q56r6B7gMkW7swD496dSK1CW5-FLD16s6bs7W3kxc-H1G10YqW4s1GgX33hgLXW84DQ6l8J39_jf5D5RXl04)) - Communicate with your family and friends and send text messages and emails that convince them to come to your birthday party or your favorite restaurant - Make a toast or speech at a wedding or anniversary that blows everyone away - And ask for what you need and get it ([like asking the bank or your financial institution to waive late fees](113/d586LZ04/VXjvNf1Lf3mfV5gxG55GCbkNW72Qs8N5cXST7MfRflz3qn9gW8wLKSR6lZ3pgN2KBXh3GxhrLW3ZYsXJ8DN8X6W4BgxD11KPv--W521ykn5k3Sn8W2LBS_B1y4zrmW4j1S5S2j8dRpW4mlckJ8jF9M3VwfXgQ1VTsMMW53CMf55NdCvrW4D1WY986pfKGN68BTg3ZZn4sW8BTvNM7csPg8W3lY5Yh2zZXSVW4k_l5W81n7FrW3rY-Cq8Bs8bSVkjSn56p1BldW17BLGY1t0jsbW2hQdV95RCKv2W5bw7hC4v23QfW65skXP7gDPBJW1hGJWD8F9S5YW1KbzZT15xnPWW6C9xdD7MVtKWW2KRp-g8fw91nW3wXdW03BS00sV7Lwdv12Y2H-VfpDMz4dptJ6W2dzmLc9fP2cqdBCyNq04)) [Ramit typing on his Macbook] A real snapshot of me writing something genius The key to being a great writer Writing may not seem exciting or seem like a big deal — especially if you hate it or flunked out in grade school. But listen: Everyone needs to learn how to become a great writer. With writing, you can persuade anyone to do just about anything…which will make your life 10X better and easier.

So if you want to improve your writing, start with this exercise: Imagine your reader is sitting across the table. What would you say to them? Seriously, try it! Speak to this imaginary person out loud, record it, then write it down. It won’t be perfect right away, but it’s a start. Learning how to write exactly how you speak is the key to great writing. It feels natural, right? Not salesy. And it’s authentic, which is what this is all about. But what if your writing still isn’t entertaining, interesting, or compelling? Today, you can easily learn how to get it there. In this “over-the-shoulder” tutorial, I want to share my personal process with you. I’ll show you exactly how I go from a blank page to a finished email…ready to send to hundreds of thousands of readers and generate income. You’ll even see what I do when I get stuck. Don’t waste years learning from trial and error. Take advantage of the mistakes I’ve already made. Watch me write an email in minutes Ready to see this in action? Just click the video below.

But this is my gift to you. As you’ll see in the video, I’m not writing at Shakespeare level. But it's amazing for a few minutes of work. That’s what I love about writing, it doesn't need to be “word for word” perfect. Improving your writing skills by just 10% can make your life 10X easier. Now here’s your challenge for today: Think of one person you could email today, someone you could build a relationship with that would help your career, your hobbies, or your business. Write to them using the tips I share in the video tutorial. Who knows — they might just surprise you with a quick and positive reply! [Ramit Sethi Signature] P.S.
