Are you struggling to attract an audience?

Good content can fall flat if it’s packaged the wrong way.

Each content format below will help you get your message across in a way that pulls readers into your world, piques their interest, and converts them into a valued subscriber for your newsletter.

Let’s jump in.

1) Polemic Essay

If you can’t punch your readers in the face and force them to read your content, this is the next best thing.

Polemic essays take a strong stance on a topic and generate controversy and discussion.

These types of essays won’t stand up to academic scrutiny, but then again, they don’t need to. They just need to stir the pot enough to push your haters away while pulling your true fans toward you.

Polemic essays exploit cognitive biases and appeal to emotion. They also make money which is the number one reason why you should write them.
