How Any Freelance Writer Can Stack "Growth Writing" Clients At $3,000 To $5,000 Per Month And Use A.I. To Do 80% Of The Work

I'd Like To Introduce You To A Brand New Type Of Freelance Writing Called, "Growth Writing"

On this page, I'd like to cover a few things with you…

What business owners in 2026 ACTUALLY want to buy from freelance writers and how you can be the "shining light" that actually speaks to their problems and needs, making it a no-brainer to hop on a call with you…

The one positioning shift that makes it easy to charge $3,000 to $5,000 per month from a single client (not per project, per month)...

And to wrap things up, I'm going to show you how A.I. can help you handle 80% of the "grunt work" to get these clients so sales doesn't feel like a burden and instead, something easy and simple.

I've helped hundreds of freelance writers implement this methodology…

People who weren't sure why they were only able to bill clients $500 (at most) for their work…

But are now accepting clients at premium rates, starting at $36,000 a year…

All because they made the one shift I'm going to share with you on this page.

You may not know me yet, and you have every right to be skeptical of a random page on the internet telling you about a way you can make money online…

I promise you that if you're someone who likes the idea of being able to make a living as a writer, and you've looked into things like Copywriting or Ghostwriting…

This is going to be extremely useful for you to see HOW the business actually works…

Let me show you some proof to back up what I'm saying...

I'd Like To Share With You Some Of My Craziest Case Studies Of Growth Writing Changing The Financial Future Of People Just Like You…

There's people like Taylin, who had ZERO prior business experience yet was able to take this model and build himself up to the point where he's now making $501,000 (roughly $41k per month) as a growth writer for personal brands (he got to $20k per month while still working a full-time job before he quit)...

And Anthony Carlton, a financial planner who was sick and tired of his job. He took the Growth Writing Model and within 1 year, he was able to scale up to $91,000 a month while building a lean team around him to help him grow.

Are these normal results? No. Like I said, I intentionally showed you the craziest ones up front.

I wanted to show you these 2 stories because I want you to see what's possible with Growth Writing…

Both of these individuals had a similar path. They started Growth Writing out as solo freelancers, started making around $10,000 to $20,000 a month…

And then they decided to start scaling up by hiring people to help them fulfill on the work. You could follow their path and build a business that can scale up to 7 figures per year, or you could cruise at $10,000 to $20,000 a month and use this model as a lifestyle business.

That's the beauty of Growth Writing, it's very flexible.

My Name Is Dakota Robertson And I Was The First Person Who Popularized "Ghostwriting"

When I first got into freelance writing, I was struggling, scraping by, and trying to figure out how to turn "writing" into an actual income.

I had just quit my job in the oil fields of Canada, and I was willing to do anything to not have to go back.

It Got A Wee Bit Cold While Working In The Oil Fields…

I sent cold emails that got ignored and I pitched clients who ghosted me and I took on projects that paid embarrassingly little just to get "experience."

But I knew this could work, so I kept persisting to figure it out.

Eventually, I discovered one fact that changed everything for me:

The way you position yourself matters more than how good your writing is.

I stumbled across an article about the rapper Drake and how he was paying ghostwriters $50,000 to $100,000 per song…

These "ghostwriters" were the secret weapon behind his grammy-winning hits.

The same thing was happening in the book world.

I started digging and discovered this massive hidden industry of ghostwriters who wrote books for CEOs, celebrities, and thought leaders.

These writers were charging $50,000... $100,000... even $250,000 to write a single book.

And nobody knew their names.

They didn't need to be famous. They didn't need a personal brand. They didn't need followers.

They just needed to be good at capturing someone else's voice and ideas... and packaging it into something that made the client look brilliant.

I Remember Sitting There Thinking, "Why Can't This Exist For Online Content?"

Right now we exist in the era of the personal brand, which is why business owners are trying to build their personal brands on LinkedIn, Twitter, Email Newsletters…

As a freelance writer, this is actually the BEST way to sell your services because there's a lot of demand for content.

Business owners know they need to be putting out content. They know it's how you build trust, generate leads, and stay relevant in 2026.

But they don't have time to do it themselves, or they just don't enjoy it.

Most of them are running companies, managing teams, closing deals…and the last thing they want to do is spend three hours every day writing posts and emails.

I stopped calling myself a "freelance writer." and I stopped positioning myself as someone who "creates content."

And I started positioning myself as something different entirely:

A Ghostwriter for Founders.

That one shift changed my entire trajectory, because I was different from all the competition out there, and that decision completely changed my life.

I built an agency that scaled to $100,000 per month…

I grew my personal brand to 500,000 followers and subscribers…

And I was able to do all of this while fulfilling my dreams of traveling the world while working from a laptop.

I became the Ghostwriting guy for people looking to grow their personal brands.

And for a while, everything was great…

I Was Seeing Such Great Results, And Tons Of People Were Asking Me How I Was Doing It.

I'm an entrepreneur and when the market is demanding something, either you fill that demand, or someone else will.

So I decided to launch the first ever coaching cohort for ghostwriting.

I accepted a small group of 35 writers into a 12 week intensive showing them how to do what I was doing.

We saw INSANE results from the first group of people…

And of course, people who had never signed a real client before started copying me.

These fake gurus saw the level of demand the market had for this so they started launching their own course and coaching programs teaching others how to do it.

I was pissed because this was my thing, they had practically ZERO experience and were copying me.

I got in contact with a lawyer to see if there was anything I could do about it and he said I was out of luck because at the time, I hadn't trademarked anything.

I Decided To Ignore The Competition And Just Focus On My Members And Getting The Best Results I Possibly Could For Them…

I launched 2 more cohorts until I realized something was seriously wrong.

Cohort number two had 65 different freelance writers…

The results were consistent like the first cohort, but I noticed on average it was taking longer for the cohort members to sign clients.

I didn't think anything of it, and waited about 6 months before I opened up the next cohort.

Cohort number three had 75 different freelance writers.

And then I saw it, the results were slowing down even more.

It wasn't because my students were less talented, all of these people were totally capable…

And my training hadn't changed at all, but it was obvious that there was something slowing down the members of the cohort.

The strategies that had worked so well for me and my initial cohort, the same ones I was teaching…

And it wasn't that they stopped working entirely. But the results weren't as consistent. The wins weren't as easy…

And I started to feel like a fraud.

Not because I was lying, or posting photos with Lamborghinis, Rolexes, and models…

My Clearly Fake Alter Ego, Rakota Dobertson III, Certified Guru And Lifestyle Enjoyer…

Everything I taught was real and had worked for me and hundreds of people over just the last 18 months before my realization…

It just felt like the ground beneath my feet was shifting, and I didn't have a map for where it was heading.

I Decided To Ask The Most Experienced And Successful Freelance Writer Who I Knew What The Hell Was Going On In The Market…

I'm keeping him anonymous on this page because he's requested it.

I'm just going to call him Mr. X for the purpose of this story.

You likely know him if you've been in the space for any amount of time…

He's been a freelance writer for almost a decade, he charges anywhere from $25,000 to $50,000 for his work, and he's produced close to $100,000,000 for his clients.

I met him at an event awhile back and always felt like he had a perspective on this industry that nobody else did.

When he told me about the names he had ghostwritten for (names you would definitely know if you're on social media at all), I was blown away at how low key this guy was about his results.

So when I started feeling like something was broken and I couldn't figure out what…

He was the person I reached out to, because I thought…

"Maybe he will know what's going on."

My Phone Call With Mr. X Completely Changed The Way I Thought About The Market Of Ghostwriting…

I told him in what probably sounded like a hopeless tone…

"Look, I've built this whole thing around ghostwriting. It worked. But something feels off now and I can't explain it. What am I missing?"

And he asked me…

"When did you launch the first cohort?"

"The start of 2023."

"And when did you launch the second cohort?"

"End of 2023."

"The third cohort?"

"Middle of 2024."

"What happened during that time? Do you know?"

I sat there for a second, feeling like an idiot.

"ChatGPT," he said flatly. "November 2022. OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public."

Of course. How did I miss that?

"Let me explain something to you," Mr. X continued. "Have you ever heard of the technology adoption curve?"

What He Showed Me Next Made Me Feel Like An Idiot For Not Seeing It Sooner…

He said, "One second I'll send you a picture"...

Then this image popped up in our texts…

"Every new technology follows the same pattern," he explained.

"First you have the Innovators, the minority of people who are basically mad scientists. They'll try anything new just because it's new. Then you have the Early Adopters, these are the people who see the potential early and jump in while everyone else is still skeptical."

"You launched right at the beginning of the Early Adopter phase. At that point, only tech nerds and curious people were playing with ChatGPT. Most business owners had never even heard of it."

I was tracking but wasn't totally clear yet, "Okay, I think I understand" I said. "So where does this connect to Ghostwriting?"

"So in the beginning of 2023," he continued, "Ghostwriting was still valuable because business owners didn't have time to write content themselves. They didn't know how to write well. And even if they wanted to learn, there was a massive learning curve."

That made a ton of sense, I was starting to see what he was talking about.

Then he said, "By mid-2023, we had moved into the Early Majority. ChatGPT had gone viral. Everyone was talking about it. But in 2023, the tech was still clunky. The quality wasn't great. It sounded like a robot. So there was still a gap in the market for skilled writers who could either use AI as a tool or just write better than AI could."

"That's why my second cohort still got results," I said, "but they weren't as fast as the first cohort."

"Exactly. The value proposition was starting to erode, but it wasn't dead yet. Business owners were experimenting with ChatGPT but getting frustrated with the output. They still saw value in hiring someone who could do it better."

I was shocked at how much sense this guy was making, he was putting words to what I couldn't!

"By 2024, we hit the Late Majority phase. And this is where the technology got dramatically better. GPT-4 came out. Claude came out. The outputs went from 'obviously AI' to 'genuinely good.'"

"This is when Business owners who had been skeptical finally started using it themselves. And they realized something…"

"What?"

And his next words hit me like a punch in the gut.

"By 2024, Business Owners Realized They Don't Need To Hire Someone To Write For Them Anymore."

"Think about it from their perspective. Why would they pay a ghostwriter $3,000 a month when they have the world's greatest writer in their pocket? An AI that doesn't get tired. It isn't juggling multiple clients. That can write in their voice after being trained on their previous content. That delivers in seconds instead of a week-long turnaround time."

Everything clicked.

The slowing results. The increasing objections from prospects. The feeling that something was off even though me and my students were doing everything "right."

But then a new question formed in my mind…

"Okay," I said. "So what do we do now?"

Mr. X didn't hesitate.

"You have to stop selling writing. Nobody wants to buy writing anymore. They don't view it as valuable. Not the way they used to."

I felt a wave of resistance. Writing was my thing. It was what I'd built my entire identity around.

"So what do we sell then?"

"Growth."

He said it like it was obvious.

"People only care about results. They either want to grow their business or they want to grow their personal brand. That's it. Those are the only two things they'll pay real money for."

"Okay, but…" I hesitated. "Do I have to completely change what I'm doing? Do I need to go learn growth marketing or funnel building or something totally different?"

He Made It Clear That We Didn't Even Have To Learn Any New Skills, We Just Needed To Change The Way We Were Selling Them…

"No dude. Nothing about what writers do for clients has changed in the last 50 to 70 years. Only the medium has changed. It's all just persuasion. Understanding human psychology. Building authority. Creating content that drives action. All of that is exactly the same."

"So what changes?"

"The way you sell it. The positioning. You can't call yourself a 'ghostwriter' anymore because that title now sounds like something AI can do. You need to sell the result of more followers, more leads, more revenue, not 'I'll write 12 LinkedIn posts for you this month.'"

I sat back in my chair, processing, "So the skill set is the same…?"

"The skill set is still Ghostwriting. The strategy is the exact same as Ghostwriting. The deliverables are the same as Ghostwriting. But you can't call it Ghostwriting to prospective clients. They don't want that, so instead you position yourself as a "Growth Writer" or something like that."

"Growth Writer…I like that."

For the first time in months, I felt like I had solid ground beneath my feet again.

Not because the market had gone back to the way it was…it hadn't, and it never would be the same.

But because I finally understood where it was going.

And more importantly…

I knew how to get ahead of it.

And that's what brings us here today.

Introducing…

The Growth Writer Shift

How To Turn Your Freelance Writing From A "Nice To Have" Into A "Need To Have" That Business Owners Will Happily Pay $3,000-$5,000 Per Month For…

I first tested Mr. X's strategy with some of my members and immediately saw how well it was working.

I took my frameworks I had already been teaching my cohort members…

But I just told everyone to change their positioning to focus on selling Growth not on selling, "Ghostwriting." Everyone gave me such amazing feedback on the material I put together, that I decided to make it a standalone product.

My coaching program, Growth Ghost, starts at $5,800 and honestly, that is a lot to ask from someone who doesn't know me all that well.

I wanted to create something that allows you to be able to see the quality of material we have inside the program…

But I didn't want to give you something useless or even something kind of useful…

I wanted to give you something INSANELY useful that has the potential to make you thousands of dollars.

That's why I created: The Growth Writer Shift

It includes everything I've tested and refined with my students to help make the sales process as easy as possible…

The exact way to tweak your positioning to make prospects actually pay attention…

Mr. X's straight forward approach to outreach and sales conversations that make it easy to close deals…

And we even put together a few AI tools to make implementing this AS EASY AS POSSIBLE!

Here's Everything You Get Inside The Growth Writer Shift:

We Wanted To Make This Easy For You To Take Action On, So We Put Together A Powerful AI Companion To Go Along With The Product.

Bonus #1: The Growth Writer A.I. Sales Companion

The positioning & sales masterclass shows you how to separate yourself from the competition and how to find qualified prospects to reach out to, but most writers struggle to actually take action.

This AI tool is going to be your best friend making sales extremely easy and removing a lot of the "grunt work" involved in getting clients…

Here's what you can do with it:

• Instant personalized outreach – Just drop in a link to the prospect's website and it generates a first message that's actually catered to them, sounds human, hits the right notes, and gets responses.
• Follow-up sequence generator – Paste in your conversation thread and it writes natural follow-ups that keep momentum going without sounding desperate or robotic.
• Free work generator – Tell it about the prospect and it creates a small, valuable deliverable you can send over as a foot in the door.
• Rate and scope calculator – Describe what the prospect is asking for and it helps you think through pricing, define scope boundaries, and figure out how to present your offer.
• "What do I even say?" mode – For those moments when you're staring at a message and drawing a complete blank, just describe the situation and it gives you a few angle options to choose from.

This is just scratching the surface.

The AI tool is programmed with ALL of the material from the masterclass and the playbook, so it's like having your own assistant to help you implement everything from the program.
