PLUS: A short story on the one realization that led me to wake up the writing business owner inside of me… and generate over $1,000,000 online as a result.
“The people who are successful when it comes to running a profitable online business aren’t 100x smarter than you.
They just know the formula that woke up what they already had inside them. What’s inside you right now… waiting to come alive.”
From the desk of Ayodeji Awosika

USA.
Hey friend,
There are people out there raking in thousands per month…
Some even make upwards of $10,000 per month…
And they’re all working without the hassle of a boss breathing down their neck…
Or forcing themselves to stick to a schedule that drains them every day of the week.
You’ve probably seen them all over the internet..
But Here’s the Harsh Reality:
These people are not 10, or even 100 times smarter than you…
But they still make 10 times more than you do.
Are they working that much harder than you?
No way!
We all have the same amount of hours in the week.
These questions used to stump me,
But I had one realization throughout my writing career…
And this led me to free myself from this confusion for good.
Because it took me countless years and a lot of money that I burnt…
I realized that it isn’t hours, efforts, or IQ levels that separate the rich from the average guy who is swamped with debts and very little income, It’s actually something completely different that not many people will share with you…
And once they unlocked this…
They were all able to “wake up” the business owner that was already inside them.
And this is exactly what I’ll be sharing with you in this letter.
But who am I?
And why should you have to listen to a single word that I have to say?
3 Time Best-Selling Author, Top 10 Medium Writer, and Writing Coach
You may know me from being one of Medium’s top writers.But what you might not know is that…
Don’t just take my word for it though.
"Ayo's course is a fantastic route for aspiring professional writers.
Even though I've been writing professionally for years, I learned a number of new things and am now rethinking my approach to content.”
"Ayo's course is a fantastic route for aspiring professional writers.
Even though I've been writing professionally for years, I learned a number of new things and am now rethinking my approach to content.”
"Ayo was one of the first writers I followed and learned from on Medium.
I’ve always admired his no-bs style and learned A LOT through his teachings. If you’re thinking about working with Ayo, you need to be ready for change and massive action because he goes all-in to share his wisdom and experience with new writers.
Instead of making false promises and sharing half-backed advice, he’ll get to the point quickly and teach you exactly how to write for an audience of millions of people."
I can pretty much travel whenever I feel like it…
And I’m free of the daily stresses that come with having a 9 to 5
Don’t get the wrong idea…
I don’t say any of this to brag.
I simply share this with you to prove that when it comes to building a profitable writing business online…
I know what I’m talking about.
And in this short letter…
I’m Pulling Back the Curtain on the Realization that Completely Changed the Trajectory of My Career.
Because this one realization was the key that propelled my business to the 7-figure mark.
And not only woke up “the business owner” inside of me…
But it woke up “the business owner” inside several of my students too…
And therefore changing their life forever.And it may well change your life too.
What was that realization?
Over the last year, I had been running my flagship online community:
The Writer’s League.
A comprehensive online academy that taught people how to get paid by writing words on Medium.
And the results that students were getting were fantastic.
People were loving the fact that they could earn a little side money with this skill.
But…
A lot of students found themselves struggling with staying consistent with their writing…
Struggling with self-doubt and fear…
And mainly:
Trembling with the Overall Uncertainty of Being Able to Monetize Their Skill.
Because when it came to writing and getting payouts on Medium…
The results my students were getting were phenomenal.
But if you looked at it objectively…
The income they received was only enough for them to call it their writing career a “side-hustle”.
They were still on the low end of their true income goals.
And as the owner of the program, this left me confused.
That's the point when my focus became looking at how to take people who are good at their craft…
The people who could proficiently write
And turn them into BUSINESS MOGULS.
Then…
Trembling with the Overall Uncertainty of Being Able to Monetize Their Skill.
“I just want to say thank you. I enrolled 3 clients in my new coaching offer in just one week and added an extra $5,000 to my revenue.
Here’s to following your directions and putting offers out there.”
I couldn’t believe what I was reading!
I had to make sure I read it right.
They weren’t just getting Medium success…
The methods I was teaching them were giving them success OUTSIDE of Medium.
After I got this message, I couldn’t sleep.
I was tossing and turning all night thinking about the potential here.
I couldn’t take it anymore.
So, I reached over to my laptop…
And messaged that student immediately to book in a call with them.
I needed to know what they were doing.
When we got on call...
I was blown away.
She was using her skill of writing to sign high-ticket clients.
Which meant…
She was reaching out to prospective clients…
And effortlessly convincing them to pay beyond $2,000 per month for his service.
And that wasn’t even the most interesting part of our conversation…
Now that she had clients WILLING to pay her top dollar for her work…
She didn’t have any self-doubt worries anymore.
She was writing faster than ever…
With more consistency, more confidence, and more focus.So from here, it was clear what I needed to do.
And that’s the exact moment that I had the realization that would change the course of my business:
If someone knows how to write, then they have a “business owner” dormant inside them, ready to be woken up so they can create an online writing business that could help them earn thousands of dollars a month, and quit their day job.
All they needed was the right guidance to bring that to life.
And you might be thinking that the fact that it has become a business now means it's complex…
Or requires a lot of upfront capital to get it running…
But you couldn’t be further from the truth.
Let me explain:
I started to interview students to see if any of them would be interested in my guidance on using writing to not just make a side income from Medium,
But turn it into a full-time business that gives them time, location and financial freedom.
And from the response…
It was obvious what my next move was.
Because almost EVERYONE that I asked said that they NEEDED to learn how to do something like that.
And I started showing them exactly how to do it over the course of a few months…
When these results began to come through…
From beginners who didn’t have the SLIGHTEST idea on how a business works…
How an offer works…
How to reach out to clients, let alone sign them onto a service…
When beginners like that began to sign their first clients with our support.
I realized the solution to the major problem of most online writers was simple:
Most online writers already have a business owner sitting inside them.
They just haven’t woken it up yet.
But once you wake it up,
That’s the very moment in a writer’s career that they experience true success…
And with this method, writers can now:
Which is why I INSTANTLY got to work on making the newest version of The Writer’s League.
So I could provide the right guidance to every single writer so they could “wake up the business owner” inside them.
And that’s exactly why I’ve written this letter to you today.
Because I’m showing you how you can turn your dying, unprofitable Medium writing career...
Into a legitimate online writing business that brings you thousands of dollars in take home income.
And allows you to quit your regular day job…
To have you living the life you’ve always dreamed of…
Without any crazy levels of business experience, or the added stress.
All just by waking up the business owner that is already inside you…Waiting to be unleashed….
That’s the very moment in a writer’s career that they experience true success…
The 2nd edition of my online writing academy, but instead of teaching you the skill, we’re showing you how to turn that skill into a full-time business with thousands of dollars in monthly take-home income.
These are full online courses I’d normally charge $597 or more to the public, that will helpyou to build the foundations of your writing skills:
10-20 minute short lessons on specific topics underneath the categories of:
These bite-sized lessons will help you quickly implement techniques to grow your income, which means that you can shorten your learning curve and get results faster.
This is the bedrock of the community.
We have a private chat mastermind to connect you with fellow students. You will get support and accountability from myself and other students.
You can go to post a question or share insights and then myself and other students can interact with it, trade ideas, help each other, etc.
A private channel with daily prompts for you to check-in and stay accountable
...so you can make sure that even if you have a day where you don’t feel like doing the work, you’ll be held accountable so you can stay consistent and motivated.
We have an engaged space for students to provide feedback on articles/content from other students.
Alongside that, I take students’ articles myself and provide feedback on them by recording personalized videos going over their articles and content.
You’ll get my private collection of writing inspiration, including:
All these resources can cost $597 alone.
You can access the 21 NEW pieces of content so you can turn this skill into a full-time business
And much, much more.
As you can tell,
There’s a LOT of content we’ve added to the community.
And even if we gave you the content alone, it’d be worth every single penny that you invest.
But we decided to take things up a notch.
We’re not just going to give you all this content and let you free roam through it all.
That wouldn’t make sense.
You’d end up being overwhelmed and not know where to go.
And that sense of overwhelm would leave you confused and you wouldn’t want to continue with the content - which is what we DON’T want.
So instead…
We’ve taken both the original content from the community and the 21+ pieces of new content, and…
Let me explain how this works:
As soon as you enter The Writer’s League 2.0 - you're going to get The Freelance Copywriter’s Blueprint.
Where step by step you’ll have little missions to complete to hit in this order to turn freelance copywriting into a full-time income:
And you’ll get all the content relevant to your specific outcome.
These are the roadmaps you’ll have the option of going through when you join:
We’ll take you through a step-by-step process that you need to follow in order to hit that goal.
That’s where you’ll find our roadmaps to making $3,000-5,000.
If you wanted to do it as a:
We’ll “handhold” you until you hit your revenue goal.
The bottom line is this:
So I’m sure it goes without saying…
With dedicated focus to your specific roadmap,
And with our support and guidance throughout the whole process
You’ll be able to inject the rocket fuel you need to wake up the business owner that’s already inside you - and finally create your profitable writing business.
So given all of this…
Listen…
I know that most people when they land on a page like this…
They’ll scroll right down and see the price to decide whether it’s worth reading the copy or not.
If that’s you, let me ask you a question:
If you look just above,
You’ll see an example of my student Julie who was able to add an extra $5,500 in revenue in just 7 days.
And Mark who has been landing new clients left and right…
Or Ryan who just landed his first client for his new program a few short days ago...
And of course, myself…
Where I used these exact methods that I’m showing you in The Writer’s League 2.0…
To go from having a mere $147 to my name…
To making upwards of $50,000 per month.
In fact, here’s a screenshot of my revenue from last month:
I could go on and on…
But that brings me to my question to you.
Would it be fair for me to charge $10,000 for all of this?
Probably… yes.
I’m pretty sure we could both agree that even at half off, for $5,000 this would still be an absolute bargain.
It would be a steal for you, knowing that you could implement everything we’re showing you.
But I won’t be charging that much.
I won’t even be charging you $3k.
Not even $2k.
Today…
You can get access to The Writer’s League Pro plan for a tiny investment of $687/year…
I’m serious about turning The Writer’s League 2.0 into the ultimate masterclass for future business owners and entrepreneurs wanting to unlock profound levels of profitability.

A 30 Minute Live 1 on 1 Coaching Call with a student in front of other students + 30 minutes for Q&A. I choose one per week.
(NOTE: All-Star Plan members get priority access to these.)
The biggest feedback that I got in the previous edition in The Writer’s League was that they had an extremely high ROI from the challenges that we did.
In The Writer’s League 2.0, we’ll be giving non-members access for $687. But because you’re joining us now, you’ll have FREE access to these challenges year round.
This is a self-paced online course that has helped 500+ students make money writing on Medium.
This program was priced at $597. Join the Writers League during the launch week and it’s yours free.
These four bonuses are only for those people who join now.
And the deadline to join is this Sunday at 11:59 pm EST.
After that, I’ll close the doors to The Writers League.
And I’m not sure when I’ll open them up.
I might keep them closed for months on end.
But there’s one thing I know for sure:
When we open back up, the price to join will heavily increase.
You can STILL access it later,
But you’ll miss out on all the free bonuses,
And it’ll be a lot more expensive to join.
It’s pretty simple.
You click on the link below,
And I’ll see you in the program.

P.S. I know this is the part of the letter where I’m supposed to tell you how miserable your life is going to be if you say no today…
But I won’t do that...
Because you already know what the next 12… 24… 36 months of your life are going to look like if you say no today...
Probably a lot like the past 12 months. Because the truth is, regardless of where you find yourself standing right now…
The only thing standing between yourself…
And creating a profitable writing business online that turns you into a cash generating machine…
Is the decision that you make today.
I’m not going to be the one to tell you which decision you need to make.
Because quite frankly…
You know better than anyone which decision is going to make a real change in your life.
If you’re ready to bring about that change…
Then click that button below.
Yes, there will be new material added to the program each month including mini-courses, live workshops with expert guests, and recordings of 1 on 1 hot seat sessions with students.
You’ll also be able to request new content.
This doesn’t guarantee that every single request will be implemented immediately, but the goal is to have an evolving library of knowledge that grows over time.
The difference lies in the upgraded features and tailored resources introduced in this version. You’ll know have access to the personalized roadmap system in The Writer's League 2.0, which will align with your unique goals and aspirations. Whether you're striving to grow your social media following, build an email list, or achieve specific income targets, these step-by-step roadmaps offer tailored guidance to navigate your journey effectively.
We’ve also introduced 21 pieces of brand new content in The Writer's League 2.0. Rather than focussing on becoming a top 1% writer, this content focuses mainly on turning your skill into a serious income. From offer creation, to outreach, to signing clients, these 21 pieces of content will take your income to the next level.
Making a consistent income was the entire reason why we created The Writer’s League 2.0 From doing outreach on social media platforms to creating high-ticket offers and newsletters, the program equips you with multiple streams of income to sustain your business long-term. Additionally, the emphasis on audience building and client acquisition ensures a steady flow of opportunities to maintain consistent income levels. Plus, we’re pretty much hand-holding you through the process so that you can be comfortable with consistently
That’s the beauty of The Writer’s League. It’s designed for you to be able to get the lessons and help you need when you need them.
A lot of online courses seem intimidating -- this big obligation you have to do in a certain amount of time. Instead, look at the Writer’s League like a resource you can draw from when you need to learn something specific.
We don’t offer scholarships. Becoming a professional writer is a serious business that requires a serious investment to succeed. Compared to $25,000-$75,000 for an MFA degree (that doesn’t show you how to monetize your writing) and high-ticket five figure coaching programs, joining TWL is a steal.
You can either make money or make excuses, but you can’t do both. It’s not about your resources. It’s about how resourceful you are. Often, when the investment stings a little bit, you’re even more motivated to succeed.
Some of my best students were the ones who were most worried about making the investment. Look at this LinkedIn post from one of my students, Niharikaa, who felt scared when she bought my program, but went on to build a massive audience and a six-figure business.
This community is only right for you if you have legitimate ambitions to become a full-time writer.
If you just want to write as a hobby and you’re not looking to write for a living, this probably isn’t right for you.

Scroll to the bottom of this page, hit the join button, and you’ll reach the check out page.
