My journey to ghostwriting on X
My hands were trembling.
My eyes were darting.
My heart was racing.
I looked at the clock.
5 minutes to go.
But I felt alive.
And when I finished — I realized..
He was right. The best medicine is truly writing down your thoughts.
I had just finished writing my first X post.
→ It wasn’t pretty.
→ It wasn’t perfect.
→ It wasn’t planned.
But it was something.
Why did I decide to write this?
Because I just saw a podcast.
Deep Dive by Ali Abdaal starring Dickie Bush.
I clicked on it expecting nothing.
No thoughts, just curiosity.
But I was quickly surprised.
Dickie began to talk about making $10k/month.
An amount of money that I thought was unfathomable.
But the craziest part?
He made that by writing.
Writing of all things. Where underpaid authors go unseen for spending years on 1 project.
Or… that’s what I assumed.
He began to talk about the power of Twitter.
The app that I had been avoiding since Elon’s reign.
The app that’s known for incels and degenerates.
The app that changed his life.
And 5 minutes later I was writing my first post on Twitter.
6 minutes later I pressed the post button.
Of course, it got 3 views. (Thanks bots.)
But I kept writing every day.
I kept learning every minute.
I kept improving every second.
And 2 months later:
→ I’m making money by writing
→ I’ve grown to 500 followers
→ I’ve met so many people
None of this would’ve happened…
If I didn’t start.
