If we haven’t met before — Hi, my name’s Omar.
This guide exists because the same question kept coming my way: How do you make a living as a writer and thinker online? Instead of repeating scattered advice, I decided to lay it all out in one place.
I started writing online in 2023, while working full-time as a salesman.
I started off with 0 views, 0 subscribers and $0 in revenue. I knew absolutely nothing about making a living as an independent writer or thinker.
Growing an audience felt impossible. I was working 50-60 hours a week in an office and struggling to carve out time for serious reading and writing.
After hundreds of hours and numerous failed attempts at monetization, I gradually settled on an effective approach that blends writing and teaching.
A few months later, I reached $18,000 per month in revenue selling private lessons, literary guides and other intellectual offers.
I now write and teach on the internet full-time.
So how do you do it? How do you build a sustainable career around your intellectual and creative work?
The gap between regular writers/thinkers and “bestsellers” isn't talent, luck, or some secret hack. It’s simply a matter of:
1. Producing work that people find valuable
2. Crafting an offer around your knowledge and interests
3. Positioning it in a compelling way
I personally guarantee that if you follow this 3-part formula, your life will change in ways you can’t imagine.
