Prolific Writer Playbook
A tight, compact video course designed to get you placed in more outlets and publications than ever before.
Nick Wolny has written for and appeared with...
You bare your heart, your soul, and a little of your sanity to write an article.
You spend *hours* on it because you want it to be perfect... and because quarantine distractions are real.
So you submit to a big outlet or publish to your blog and cross your fingers.
And then, after all that energy.... CRICKETS.
So you throw your hands up in the air and scream "This doesn't %$*&#% work!"
But you see others in your field who are writing the types of articles you could write...
And they're getting hundreds or even 1000's of new readers and fans as a result of being published.
Like this piece I did for Social Media Examiner that got over a thousand shares:
To get placements, you need a system for
>> Writing fast,
>> Researching the right topics, and
>> Producing better articles that show off your expertise.
When you do this, you'll build an arsenal of articles and ideas that you can use again and again.
Why articles? Because people want to see that you've thought about a topic for more than five seconds. Consider these statistics:
📖 80% of business decision-makers prefer to get company information from a series of articles versus an advertisement.
📚 70% of consumers say they prefer to learn about a product or service through content rather than through traditional advertising.
🧠 And 84% of CEOs and VPs use social media to make purchasing decisions.
Articles can help you say "Bye Felicia!" to skepticism and cultivate trust... on autopilot.
Moreover, there's a shift happening with publication editors worldwide...
These gatekeepers need to weed out wishy-washy writers, so more are now asking for a contributed article draft in your very first pitch.
If you want more articles and more eyeballs, you MUST become prolific in your writing.
Over 60 minutes of action-oriented video tutorials
Watch, review, and repeat HD training and screenshare videos -- you'll have lifetime access.
Idea prompts and outline templates to get you unstuck
Never say "I don't know what to write about!" again and move faster than ever before.
My personal cheat sheet of over 75 contributed outlet submission pages
Lifehack, HubSpot, MindBodyGreen, oh my!
I've sourced all the direct links to these contributor pages (only ones with good authority rankings on the web!) and over 20 publications on Medium so you don't have to.
A method that is working NOW
Anyone can use this system, and it's applicable today.
I am a music school burnout that was so tech-impaired I missed my second day of work because I couldn't read a Microsoft Excel file.
If I can do it, you can too.

I'm a contributor for publications like Entrepreneur and a consumer tech commentator for broadcast television.
However, I used to know nothing about tech, writing, or working online.
I went to music school, and when I graduated I had zero life skills.
(I even ghosted my second day of work at a retail job because the schedule was in a Microsoft Excel document and I didn't understand how to use it. True story!)
By continuing to educate myself and follow proven systems, I was able to channel creativity into more writing, more content, more placements, and more authority than I ever thought possible.
If I can do it, you can too.
I like short, direct courses that get straight to the point and add value, so that's what we've built here. Hope you'll join us!
