Hey, I’m Kieran MacRae, thanks for stopping by.
I’ve been writing online for 9 years and have been lucky enough to have been doing it as my job for the last 7.
Here are the highlights:
2015: I graduated from university in Glasgow with a physics degree, utterly dejected at the thought of joining the corporate world.
So, instead of joining it, I eloped with my fiance to Hawaii and moved to Australia for nine months to work as an au pair. It was there that I got the idea to make money writing on the internet…
2016: In January, I made my first $3.74 from an article I wrote about a sleep technique. It was monetized with Adsense, and I successfully shared it on Reddit. Holy shit. You can make money by writing.
End of year earnings $100
2016-2017: I came back to Scotland, and I took a job part-time as a shoe salesman so I could work on my business. I became a fanatic about learning SEO to make money through affiliate marketing. I started seeing some promise on a mattress review site.
End of Year earnings – $25,000
2018: Four months after quitting my job, I have my first $10,000 month, and my eyes widen. This is working.
2020: I Sell that website for a tidy 6-figure sum. I carry on working on a coffee blog with a friend.
2022. We sell the coffee blog for another 6 figure sum and my total affiliate sales crossed $3,000,000.
2022-2024. Pressing pause. Crisis came in my personal life, but my business gave me the freedom to be there for my family.
Sep 2024: I go viral on Medium. One article earns $2,000. People reach out for my business advice, and a new business is born—you’re reading it now.
Over the last nine years, I’ve freelanced, built assets, sold niche sites, sold ebooks, grown newsletters, and gone viral.
Now, I want to help you.
I’m here to help you turn your writing into a business. Mastering digital writing is an excellent skill, but by itself, it won’t pay the bills. You need to learn the skills to make money online and turn your writing into a business.
I am here to mentor you on how to build a writing business you love.
