5 God-Tier Writing Tips (Use Them Daily)

No fluff. No filler.

No intro. No stories.

At least, not today.

Your time is gold, so lets get to the point.

Here are 5 god-tier writing tips I swear by.

Apply them daily to see an instant increase in your follower conversion and post engagement:

1) End Your Posts With The Consequence of Inaction

Paint the dreadful picture of what happens if your reader sits on their ass and does nothing.

How does their life spiral out of control, bank account bleed dry, or business fall like the Roman Empire?

These consequences snap your readers awake and compel them to share or engage.

Why?

Because fear is one hell of a motivator.

Use it. Harness it. Make them feel it.

If fear is what it takes to get your reader to wake up and change their life for the better, then it's your ethical obligation to use it.

2) Writing Stealth Call to Actions on X

Most CTAs are Invisible.

Bland. Predictable. Skipped without a second thought.

And when your CTA gets ignored, so do your followers, subscribers, and leads.

To avoid this, use a stealthy three-part CTA:

1. Call out a painful problem

2. Offer a solution

3. Offer a guarantee

Why does this work?

Because by the time they realize it’s a CTA, they’re already hooked.

We tested this with a ghostwriting client.

Before? Struggling to scrape past $25K/month.

Now? Consistently pulling in $50K+.

Not the only factor in his growth, but a massive one.

For obvious reasons, I can’t drop his name.

But I can show you an example from a friend…

3) Don't Just Be Specific, Be Relatable

Vague writing flops.

Specific writing pops.

But the real cheat code isn't specificity, it's relatability.

Specificity alone isn’t enough. You have to choose what to be specific about.

Writing about habits? Pick the ones that hit home.

• Meditation?

• Sleeping in?

• Anime marathons?

• Hard-shell tacos?

All specific.

But not all equally relatable to your audience.

Know their identity. Mirror their mindset. Show them you live their struggles, share their beliefs, and walk their path.

When they see themselves in your words, they don’t just read.

They relate.

4) A Lesser Known Newsletter Framework

Most writers use the same old copywriting frameworks.

It's why they get the same predictable results.

Which is why I search for hidden gems. The kind of frameworks that actually drive engagement and leads.

Here’s a juicy one I found recently:

• Problem – Call out a painful struggle your audience faces

• Symptom – Expose what they think is causing it (but isn’t)

• Why It’s Wrong – Kindly show them why they’re mistaken

• Root Cause – Reveal the real problem and offer them the solution

This framework crushes on LinkedIn and in newsletters.

Use it. Master it. Your engagement will increase.

5) How to Build Trust (Fast)

Trust isn’t just built with case studies and social proof.

It’s built with brutal honesty.

Instead of hiding the downsides of your offer, bring attention to it. Then dismantle them one by one.

Examples:

Downsides of becoming a ghostwriter (and why they aren't actually true):

❌ It's hard to write in your client’s voice.

✅ Yep. But we’ve got an AI prompt that makes it easier.

❌ I'm at the mercy of social media algorithms.

✅ True. And it sucks sometimes. But psychology doesn’t change. Master persuasion and algorithms can't own you.

❌ Landing clients is tough. And I hate sending cold DMs.

✅ Yep, me too. That’s why Growth Ghost students get paid writing gigs at my agency. Then use those results to attract clients without DMs.

And that's all there is to it.

As promised, no fluff.

Until next time,
