Everyone starts from scratch. But what if you had to earn six figures a year from the very first day you were in business? That's the challenge Jon Morrow had. He's my guest for the 434th episode of The Copywriter Club Podcast. I asked him about how he did it. We also talked about how he is using A.I. in his business (his approach is pretty good, which is what you'd expect given he's been using it for more than ten years). We also talked about what he would do if he had to start over... he suggested a strategy I'd never heard before. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.

This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. You already know this but succeeding as a content writer or a copywriter is not easy. And building a reputation when you're just starting out is a huge challenge. But what if you knew that you needed to earn six figures a year, beginning on the day you launch your business. No time to ramp up. No time to figure out client acquisition. No time to create and test the products and services you offer. You have no choice but to succeed at a high-level from day one. What would you do? That's the challenge Content Strategist and founder of SmartBlogger, Jon Morrow, faced. But he did it. He succeeded in creating a six-figure business from day one. Jon shares how he did it and why it was necessary in the first few minutes of our interview. And once you hear what he says, you may find yourself without an excuse for accomplishing big things in your business. Because if Jon can do it with the limitations he faced, you can almost certainly do it even if the world is conspiring against you. I didn't expect this when we set up the interview, but what Jon shares about how he uses A.I. in his business, to write sales letters, create courses, and run his businesses will either frighten you or inspire you to step up your writing game. His approach is impressive. As you listen to this episode, ask yourself these questions: What are you willing to give up in order to get what you really want? How are you diversifying and changing your business in the face of A.I.? What can you do differently to make sure your approach to email actually makes money for your business or your clients? And what can you do to create more connection and community with the people you want to work with? But before we get to all that, this episode is brought to you by The Copywriter Underground. we've been rebuilding our content vault and adding a ton of additional workshops to it. These new workshops are jammed full of practical ideas for building your writing business, creating new products like VIP days, lead magnets and more, getting attention and building your authority, showing up on social media with the right content to attract your ideal clients and lots more. The more templates and training we add to The Underground, the more I realize there is a crazy amount of valuable resources, in addition to monthly coaching and regular copy critiques ready for you to use. And you can get immediate access for less than you spend on a dinner out with your family. Learn more at thecopywriterclub.com/tcu. And now, my interview with Jon Morrow… Jon, welcome to the podcast. As I mentioned just before we started recording, you've been on my list for a long time to have as a guest. I think I've followed you or known of you for close to 15, maybe even more years than that. We'd like to start with your story. So I'm guessing that there might be one or two people in our audience who don't know who you are. So tell us how you got to where you are. Jon Morrow: So yeah, my story has many chapters. So the thing about me that's unusual is that I have muscular dystrophy and I can't really move any part of m...

Dr. Jon Morrow, Senior VP of Medical Affairs and Informatics, and Daniel Blumenthal, Vice President of Strategy at MDClone, shed light on the meaning of synthetic data for drug discovery and patient care. Using both original data and statistical models of the data, researchers and clinicians can quickly gain insights that can impact patient care, facilitate collaborations and partnerships, and dramatically shorten the time required for product development. Daniel explains, "Actually, the system is able to produce synthetic data on the fly on demand. It reacts to the end user's request for data. So, if I'm an end user and I want to build a population, I want to look at a population of patients with diabetes and understand the medications they were on and lab tests that were drawn about them. To understand their disease trajectory over time. I'm able to define that, and the way our engine works is it actually can take that original population. But without sharing that population, as John articulated at the beginning, without actually sharing that original population. Just learn the statistics of that population and then build this brand new set of synthetic data. That synthetic data, every time it's generated, is compared to the original." Jon elaborates, "So rather than exposing my patient's information or using my patient's information with approval, how about if I ask a system like MDClone ADAMS to generate a synthetic dataset that looks statistically exactly like my population of patients with gestational diabetes? And it's pulling the data from the electronic medical record at my hospital. It's running this process behind the firewall of my hospital, but it's providing me with data on a population that doesn't exist but behaves exactly like my patients at the population level." @MDClone_ #SyntheticData #LifeScience #ResearchData #RareDiseases mdclone.com Download the transcript here

We also talk about why it's important to set the right goals to help us reach our most courageous dreams, how our goals shape our identity and personality, and the importance of the environment in achieving our goals.*Dr Benjamin Hardy (@BenjaminPHardy) is an organizational psychologist, bestselling author and the world's leading expert on the application of the Future Self science. His books include Be Your Future Self Now, The Gap and the Gain, Willpower Doesn't Work and Personality Isn't Permanent. His blogs have been read by over 100 million people and are featured on Forbes, Fortune, CNBC and many others.

So their future self actually isn't imagined far different. They think that their future self is going to kind of pretty much be the same person that they are today, which is just not what the research shows. We massively under predict how much we're going to change in the future. And we spend so little time imagining our future and turning that into concrete plans and strategies for courageously becoming the person we wanted to be”*“What is the actual objective of this article?

Aneel chats with Jon D. Morrow, M.D., M.B.A. about the relatively new concept of synthetic data, which involves using information from real patients who in the aggregate mimic the original population. Morrow is Senior VP and Physician Executive at MDClone, where he leads medical affairs activities for the North American market. A medical informaticist and board-certified obstetrician-gynecologist, Morrow has more than 25 years' experience in academic medicine and healthcare technology. With the information gleaned from synthetic patients, you can draw conclusions that would you would not be able to reach within HIPPA constrictions, notes Morrow. These synthetics patients and data, which can be shared with other providers without violating patient privacy, can help facilitate research discover patterns relating to health conditions and assist clinicians to better treat patients, according to Morrow.

Marisa Murgatroyd Online Education Expert and Pioneer of the Experience Product Hi, I’m Marisa Murgatroyd and I teach people how to design and market a brand new kind of online program called an “Experience Product” that combines gamification, adult learning theory and the psychology of motivation to create an unforgettable experience that gets anywhere from 10-30x the industry-standard results for your customers... and your business. And the best part is that anyone can do it. I started my career as an artist who was told by my father that I had no marketable skills. I figured out how to build a mid-7-figure business anyway and showed over 7,000 students how to succeed online — many of whom also felt like they had “no marketable skills” or were told they couldn’t do it. I’m on a mission to reinvent online education around the world so results and engagement become the norm and not the exception. I’ve created three seven-figure-a-year experiencified product lines with record-breaking student engagement and results. All in, I’ve sold over $17M in online courses and programs since I launched my first course in 2013. I’ve shared my new approach to product creation at top industry events including Mindvalley Momentum, Evercoach Summit, LaunchCon, MFA Live, and Traffic & Conversion Summit (December 2020). I’ve also supported dozens of industry leaders in integrating this methodology into their products to reduce refunds and increase sales and repeat sales including Josh Turner, Mary Morrissey, Jon Morrow, Alex Mandossian, Jesse & Sharla, Ocean Robbins, and many more. Most recently I co-founded Xperiencify, the world’s first fully gamified membership site software, with my husband Murray to make this methodology available to more online course creators. I’m also the go-to brand builder for 7- and 8-figure industry luminaries and heavyweights, including Eben Pagan, Callan Rush, Justin Livingston, Susan Peirce Thompson, Mike Koenigs, Sage Lavine, and Gary Zukav. In this episode, Karen and Marisa discuss: Success Story of Marisa Commit to Get Leads Build your list and following around your products and services. It is more powerful and will turn those leads into buyers. Consult to Sell Focus on engagement, not just attraction and conversion. By focusing on engagement, your lifetime customer value will grow, and so will your testimonials which will continue to help you sell. Connect to Build and Grow Create evergreen programs that are available year round - it gives you a consistent business and you can afford to invest in teams, processes, and systems to deliver that consistent experience. Success Thinking, Activities and Vision The Iterate Your Way to Awesome Cycle is that clarity only comes from action. Be willing to send things out into the world that aren’t perfect. Let go of perfectionism, take fast action, fail forward, and let go of believing it is all about you. Sweet Spot of Success "You are not your business. When you have a failure in business, it is not you that has failed. It is not a reflection of you; it’s not a reflection of your idea.

Over the years, I've had the pleasure of interviewing people growing businesses in almost every market imaginable from trampoline parks to peanut butter. And from the farthest reaches of the world from Ukraine to South Africa. Despite all of those differences, they've all shared a commonality that today's guest does not share they could move. My guest today is a brilliant writer and entrepreneur who can't move anything but his face. It's not a joke. The only parts of his body he can move are his eyes and lips. His hands, feet, arms, and legs, are almost totally paralyzed, managing the occasional twitch and nothing more. And yet he has created an amazing life for himself. Using speech recognition technology, he's written articles read by more than 5 million people. He's also built several blogs that have made him millions of dollars. Now, let's hack... Jon Morrow.

In today's episode, we're talking to Jon Morrow, the legendary blogger behind the massively popular site SmartBlogger, that reaches an audience of more than 100,000 email subscribers and generates well over $100,000 in monthly revenue. Jon has one of the most incredible personal stories I've ever come across
We've all been in situations where we've had to ask for help and it's backfired. This creates a pattern in our minds that when we ask for help we are vulnerable and exposed. I want you to understand something, to those around you vulnerability looks powerful and inspirational! Sean Stephenson and Jon Morrow are great friends of mine and one of the reasons I love hanging out with them is because they have no ego's when it comes to asking for help because they've had to do it their entire lives. Some people would call them disabled, I call them specially abled. They both have incredible wisdom about getting help and that's why they can accomplish more than the average person. It's easy to feel like getting help makes you weak but this is just not true. Stop trying to be perfect, ask for help, and make your greatest contribution. If you're ready to not only ask for help but build a team around exactly what you want to achieve, let us help you. billionairecode.com/apply

There are very few times in my life that I am so incredibly grateful to meet someone. And this was definitely one of those top 10 moments for me. Jon Morrow has created several multi-million dollar businesses. He's the founder of Smart Blogger and written several viral articles including “On dying mothers and fighting for your ideas” and “How to quit your job, move to paradise and get paid to change the world.” Jon is the epitome of overcoming obstacle. He was paralyzed from the neck down at birth. That didn't stop him. It motivated him. Because he knew he could end up in a nursing home. And nothing scared him more. I asked him everything: how he built his businesses, consulting practice, how he wrote without being able to type. And with every question I asked, he had an answer. He had a story. Or experience to share. And I'm grateful I can share it with you.

Benjamin Hardy the #1 writer on Medium is here today. It makes sense to put your written content where people already are. I've always said making people come to your blog in the world of syndication, publication, subscription, and podcasting is a little bit arrogant. I've also talked about repurposing your content. Medium is currently an interesting opportunity. Today, we talk about putting your podcast on Medium. Medium is doing incredible numbers when it comes to search ability, and it's worth taking a look at. Benjamin Hardy's writing focuses on self-improvement, motivation, and entrepreneurship. He is also getting his PhD in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. His research focuses on the difference between want to be entrepreneurs and actual entrepreneurs or dreamers versus doers. Tip of the Week: You know what's better than your audience immediately enjoying your podcast? A podcast you created several years ago being enjoyed by new listeners. Some podcasters don't think about the long-term. Every week, more stuff from the back catalog is being downloaded. When you plan your podcast, make a podcast that will be even more valuable as time goes by. How to Make Your Podcast a Medium Article: [04:48] Benjamin is one of the more approachable and unassuming gurus that I have met in a long time. [05:17] Medium is a repository of articles. It's getting bigger and more strategic. [06:04] Benjamin gets about a million clicks on his medium account every month. Clicks and reads are tracked, so you can optimize your articles for people going through your content. This translates to about 25,000 new email opt-ins a month, and Benjamin now has 320,000 subscribers. [06:55] This also led to Benjamin getting his first book contract and $220,000 for Willpower Doesn't Work. He now has a seven-figure income all from Medium.com. [07:43] Text the word Medium to 5039668066 to get this episode's Medium article and a quick outline based on what Ben teaches. [08:31] Ben has learned how to write viral headlines. He took Jon Morrow's guest blogging course and learned how to write headlines. He creates clickable headlines and structures the article in a way that it looks interesting with subheadings and short paragraphs. If subheadings are interesting and powerful people are likely to read the article. [10:02] Ben's three keys to good writing. You have to be a clear and intentional communicator. The writing has to be very emotional. Hit people in the head as well as the heart. Back everything up with science and experts. [11:55] Knowing the structure, getting people in, and writing it powerfully are what makes good writing to Ben. [13:13] Paul and Ben create a sample article for medium about turning a podcast into a medium article. Find a purpose such as to inspire people to read your article and to subscribe to your email list. [14:37] List the top five reasons why people are missing out if they are not turning their podcast in 2 medium articles. [14:47] These reasons need to be compelling and highlight the opportunity cost and gain. Then back everything up with stats. [15:30] Headlines need to be extremely emotional. [16:27] Hit the why such as what podcasters want. [17:13] Focus on their aspirations and pain. [18:06] If you publish an article and it doesn't do well why wouldn't you republish it again with a different title. Try republishing at the next day or week later. [18:53] The internet is like a river you never see the same water twice. [20:15] Why wouldn't you republish a podcast episode? [22:53] People should republish podcasts with new titles. [23:19] Ben went from 1500 email signups to 5000 a month with the same amount of traffic by switching from a call-to-action that said to go to his website to a call-to-action that sent readers to a landing page. [23:55] Websites are distraction heavy. [24:26] Then Ben switched from an ebook to a checklist, and he went from 5000 email sign-ups to 20,000 email sign-ups a month. [25:33] Create small easy condensed freebies and send people to a landing page never a website. [25:54] Your checklist needs to be results-focused. [27:18] Ben wants to be a good artist and a good business person. He is learning the business side of things, so he can succeed in both worlds. [28:41] Organic traffic isn't enough if you want to be a business person you still need to learn how to sell. Be brilliant at what you do but spend the energy becoming a good salesman. [30:22] Starving artist focus on the craft, but they can't sell. And then there are people focused on the sale, but they are selling crap. [30:39] Sell because you really believe in what you are doing but don't stop getting better at what you do. [30:54] Willpower doesn't work is a self-improvement book. Becoming a foster parent changed Ben's life. The external pressure forced him to think hard and to take action and start writing. [32:33] How we rise and fall to the demands of our situation, and if our situation doesn't demand much of us we're not going to show up and do much. [32:46] The fundamental attribution. Putting all of our focus on ourselves. The environment shapes the individual. You can do greater things if your situation demands you to do it. [33:21] The book is about shaping situations and environments that force you to achieve. [33:37] Who we are is determined by the environment that we are in, and we have the ability to shape that environment and create our situations and transform ourselves into who we want to be. [35:00] When you look at a person's life they are a product of their environment.

Unless you’re Forbes I think you’d be better off with quality The Influencer Strategy Quotes: “Just take this interview for example, did I have a very rough time overcoming everything that I have? Yes, of course. But it’s also the reason that I’m talking to you today it’s given me a fantastic story. And that inspiring story is now inspiring millions of people and has also made me a LOT of money.” “The bigger the blow you just took, the bigger the opportunity there is standing there right in front of you. So you just have to find it and train yourself to find it. And that in my life has always been the case.” “To a lot of people writing 100 headlines a day that’s crazy! Why would anyone write 100 headlines a day? But that’s how I became so good at writing headlines.” “What content is good at, more than anything else, is building influence.” “My dad told me ‘Jon if you want to make money, go find a river of flowing money, stand in it and scoop up as much money as you can. But you never try to make the river change course, you just stand in the middle.’ But what most people don’t realize is there’s only two real rivers of traffic, Google and Facebook.” Links: Unstopable.me Smartblogger.com FunnelHackerRadio.com FunnelHackerRadio.com/freetrial FunnelHackerRadio.com/dreamcar

Jon is paralyzed from the neck down. He couldn't crawl. "My mom noticed I was dragging my legs," he said. The doctors said he'd die at age two. But he felt like he had something to contribute to the world. So he became unstoppable. He started writing for free. "I couldn't be paid," he said. If he earned a decent income, Jon would lose his Medicaid. His reputation as a writer grew. So he started consulting. And made 30,000 dollars in 24 hours. "At first, I charged $99. And 300 people signed up." He raised his prices. Then built online courses that taught people how to guest-blog and started another "premium" consulting service. "I made half a million dollars in 9 months," he said. The work lets him pay his own health benefits and live life for himself. Now, Jon Morrow is the CEO of SmartBlogger. He helps bloggers increase traffic, improve their writing, and make money. Jon believes any limitation can be overcome, although not easily. His story continues to inspire thousands around the world. Shortcuts - [23:00] - Jon told me how he developed a sense of self worth. Hear how he did it. - [26:25] - "When I got into kindergarten, another kid called me disabled, and I said, 'What does that mean?' And, he started laughing." Jon's teacher came over and said, "You don't know what that means?" He didn't. So he asked his mom. She thought about it and said, "It means you can't do something as well as someone else. But it also goes the other way." She said, "Everyone in the world can't do something as well as someone else..." So everyone in a sense is disabled. Jon focussed took inventory of his skills. Then he mastered them. Learn how you can hone your abilities, too. - [29:00] - Jon had twelve job offers after college. But he couldn't accept any of them. He had to keep his medicaid. And if he exceeded $700 per month, the government would take it away. So he found a loophole. He worked for free. Then years, later Jon asked for favors and ended up making half a million dollars in just 9 months. Find out how he initially did it here. - [1:11:50] - Jon was paralyzed from the neck down. He needed to reconstruct his reality. "I can only move my facial muscles," he said. He would've went crazy. But he made a new plan. "I started listening to audiobooks and podcasts 4-8 hours a day." His goal was to spend more time listening to inspirational stories, than he actually spent in his own life. I needed to understand, "Why was that your goal?" He said, "If you spend the majority of your time in worlds where people are accomplishing incredible things, all of a sudden that started to seem normal to me." Listen how Jon reconstructed his reality - [1:16:20] - Jon said, "A lot of people are under the assumption they can get whatever they want without trading something that they have. And that's just not the case." When he hears a success story, he looks for the price. What did they sacrifice? Money? Sleep? Time? Relationships? Everything has a price.

The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience
Welcome to The Writer Files, a tour of the habits, habitats, and brains of renowned writers — from online content creators, to fictionists, journalists, entrepreneurs, and beyond. Great writing is more vital and in demand than it’s ever been. But sometimes writers get stuck — the right words don t appear, we get distracted, or worse, lose interest in our work — and that s when the solitary nature of writing can become a curse. I m here to remind you that all writers have moments of doubt, feelings of ineffectiveness, and droughts where the words won t flow. For writers like you and I to stay productive, creative, and sane, sometimes we just need to take a look at how other scribes find ways keep the ink flowing and the cursor moving. In this episode, I want share the file of prolific online publisher, Demian Farnworth. Between the writing he does for Copyblogger, his personal blog, and his two podcasts that regularly land at the top of iTunes, he promises to … deliver the essential writing advice you need to succeed online. In this 32-minute file Demian Farnworth and I discuss: Why Demian Loves The Writer Files Interview Series How a Poet Learned to Make a Living Online Why You Should Treat Your Writing Like Music Demian’s Secret to His Prolificness Why You Need to Over-Sharpen Your Axe 3 Timeless Ideas that Lead to Enhanced Creativity Why So Many Writers Quit A Single Word that Will Help You Keep the Cursor Moving Listen to The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience below ...

Kelton Reid: These are The Writer Files, a tour through the habits, habitats, and brains of working writers — from online content creators, to fictionists, journalists, entrepreneurs, and beyond. I’m your host, Kelton Reid, Director of Multimedia Production for Copyblogger Media. I’ve been there in the trenches — from indie screenwriter to online content creator — and I know the battle of the blank page. I’ll be the first to admit that writers are a pretty weird bunch, but we’ve been looked at as conjurers for thousands of years for our abilities to give meaning to thoughts, tell amazing stories, and even sell things. From Aristotle to Don Draper, great scribes have been hailed as heroes since the invention of charcoal. Lucky for you and I, the art of great writing at this critical time in history is more vital and in demand than it’s ever been, but sometimes writers get stuck. The right words don’t appear. We get distracted, or worse, lose interest in our work, and that’s when the solitary nature of writing can be a curse. I’m here to remind you that all writers have moments of doubt, feelings of ineffectiveness, and droughts where the words aren’t flowing. For writers like you and I to stay productive, creative, and sane, sometimes we just need to step away from our keyboards. That’s where The Writer Files comes in. We’ll take a look around and see how other scribes keep the ink flowing and the cursor moving without losing their minds. We may learn a few things about our own process along the way. In this episode, I want to share the file of Copyblogger’s Chief Content Writer, Demian Farnworth. Demian’s a prolific online publisher who’s storied career has spanned from consultant to senior web copywriter and even managing editor for a print magazine. His mission statement is to write clear, concise, and compelling copy. Between the writing he does for Copyblogger, his own personal blog, and his two podcasts that regularly land at the top of iTunes, he promises to “Deliver the essential writing advice you need to succeed online.” Let’s flip through file of prolific writer and podcaster Demian Farnworth. Greetings, Demian. I thought it only appropriate to have you on the show because of our shared work on The Writer Files written interview series over at Copyblogger.com, where you are still a contributing editor to the series, which is very cool. Now, we both have podcasts here on Rainmaker.FM. Why Demian Loves the Writer Files Interview Series Demian Farnworth: Thank you. Yeah, I love doing The Writer Files because it’s a great set of questions. Every time that I do one, the people whom I interview come back with “that was the best interview I’ve ever done.” I’m like, “I’ve got to give Kelton credit because I didn’t come up with the questions.” Of course, the premise is from the Proust Questionnaire. I love doing them, too, because they’re not your typical questions about business, and because we’re in the field of marketing, you can ask the same questions. For me, because it’s The Writer Files, I always enjoy hearing about people outside of their business: “I know that you are many dimensions, so show me more of that.” So that s the reason I like doing those — people walking away and thinking, “That was a great interview.” So, well done. Thank you for sharing that with me. Kelton Reid: Absolutely. It made perfect sense, and you were a good fit for that, and I really love the work that you’ve been doing on it as well. I think we should get into the file of one Demian Farnworth. What do you say? Game? Demian Farnworth: I’m game. Thank you. Kelton Reid: Let’s talk a little bit about you, the author. Who are you, and what is your area of expertise? How a Poet Learned to Make a Living Online Demian Farnworth: The short answer is that I was, or am, a poet who figured out how to make money writing online so that I could make a living and raise a family. I fell in love with marketing and through Robert Cialdini’s book, Influence, realized that what I loved doing — which was writing — I was capable of continuing to do it. I could sustain it through what I did in that I didn’t have to succumb to a sense of “this is stale business stuff.” I could actually treat it as art but have it still be useful and still be meaningful to people who have problems and are looking for solutions. Kelton Reid: I love Cialdini’s Influence, also, and I’ll link to that in the show notes. Where can we find your writing? Demian Farnworth: Copyblogger.com. I think if you look up ‘Demian Farnworth,’ you could find all my articles there. I also have a personal website called The Copybot. That’s TheCopybot.com. Of course, you can listen to my writing on my podcast, Rough Draft, where it’s a daily short show about the craft of writing online. Kelton Reid: What are you working on right now, Demian? Demian Farnworth: I’m working on the show. My thought behind the show was I want it short. I want it daily. I want it sequential. I’m treating it like, everything that I’ve learned over the years, I want to systematize it — like start from the very beginning and work through as if I was having a conversation with people. About two or three times out of the week, I write scripts for that and then I record on Fridays. Then also I’m working with Jerod on the show The Lede. We’re doing great little series. We’re calling it the Hero Versus Villains series, where we take popular concepts in the business and marketing world and debate those from a hero position or a villain position. That’s been a lot of fun, but it’s a lot of research, too. Of course, I’m also focusing on what they call ‘adaptive content’ this year for the Copyblogger blog, and that’s a work in progress. It’s probably going to be a year-long adventure because it’s very new to me and it hasn’t quite been defined, so it’s a bit complicated. I’m finding my way through it. We’re out in front of that trend, so we’re getting the chance to define it. That’s been a lot of fun to do, too. Kelton Reid: Let’s spin through a little bit about your productivity. How much time per day do you read or do research? Demian Farnworth: I want to say three, four, five hours. I mean, I wouldn’t say there’s defined time, because everything that I do read, whether books or blogs, is research in my mind. But if there’s acute research where I’m working on a project, probably about two or three hours a day. Kelton Reid: Before you fire up the MacBook or typewriter, do you have any pre-game rituals or practices? Demian Farnworth: I like to work in the morning. I’m just genuinely freshest in the morning, most clear in thinking, probably most productive. I like to spend probably an hour, an hour and a half, reading and meditating and just getting my head clear. Then once that’s done, I get up. I eat — probably I’m drinking coffee, of course — and then I just sit down and write. Kelton Reid: That brings me to our next question, which is, what is your most productive locale for your writing? Demian Farnworth: I guess my desk. I feel very comfortable, like I’m a creature of habit. I like routine, so I like writing at my desk, but I can certainly find different places in our house to do that or at the local coffee shop as long as I get headphones on. Probably my favorite location is my desk in my office in my basement. Kelton Reid: Do you prefer any particular music or silence while you write? Why You Should Treat Your Writing Like Music Demian Farnworth: I like music. I guess just it depends. I remember Jon Morrow — his answer to this question is “silence” because there’s a certain cadence to writing, and I agree with him. But I find my productivity sometimes goes up when I’ve got the right music and the right cadence. Like if I’m working on a rough draft or a first draft of something, it’s usually something that’s like a drum-storm, driving type of fast-moving where it’s pushing me forward and I’m moving forward. But then when I’m in that more careful, precision phase where I’m editing, I like to listen to more instrumental work by Richard James, who’s also known as Aphex Twin for some background. I also like — and I may butcher the name — the Icelandic band Sigur Rós. Kelton Reid: Oh, yeah. I like those guys. Demian Farnworth: Right. I like that. I don’t understand what they’re saying, so it s not like it interferes with my thinking, but it’s very beautiful. It’s melodic and beautiful. Which phase I’m in determines what kind of music. Sometimes I will just shut everything off and write in silence, but that’s unusual. I like music, and I think that in a lot of ways, I treat like my writing as music. I think a keyboard — my keyboard, my laptop — is not any different than the keyboard on a piano. Kelton Reid: I’m going to have to steal that. How many hours a day would you say you spend writing, and I’m not including email? Demian s Secret to His Prolificness Demian Farnworth: I try to get started about 8:00, but it’s usually more like 8:30, sometimes 9:00. I’ll push through till 12, to 1, till 2, depending on how much I have to do and to get done. Of course, there are breaks in between there. My prevailing philosophy about writing is — I share this with a lot of people — keep your bottom in the seat. It’s also to just push yourself. I’m not really into this idea of having work for 33 minutes and then take a three-minute break or whatever — the Eugene Schwartz technique where you have prescribed times. I let what needs to be done dictate that. I reward myself, so I’ll say, “Once I get to this section, I can go up and use the restroom,” or “Once I’ve nailed this closing, then I can get up and go get something to eat.” I bait myself to finish certain work and reward myself then. This is the long way of saying — to answer your question — it could be anywhere from two, three, four to six hours a day. It just depends on the demand of what I’m working on. Kelton Reid: Sure. Do you feel like you write every day? Demian Farnworth: I do. I don’t typically write on the weekends, though. I feel like I need that break, and I appreciate that break. Sometimes I will break that rule, but I like to completely separate myself from what I’m working on over the weekend. Kelton Reid: All right, this is the tough one. Do you believe in writer’s block? Why You Need to Over-Sharpen Your Axe Demian Farnworth: No, I don’t. I don’t believe in it because I think that it’s a cop-out to say that there’s writer’s block. I mean, sure, we struggle with the ability to say what we want to say. We all struggle with the idea of like, “This is a dumb idea, so I’m not going to write it.” Or we just don’t have anything to say, so we’re not going to write. I think writer’s block is this idea of, “I need to write something, but I can’t write it.” If I feel like I’m in that position, then I clearly have not done enough research. It s that old Abraham Lincoln saying where he says, “If I’m going to chop down a tree, I’ll spend 90 percent of the time sharpening the saw,” or I think that’s what he said — or the axe, whatever it is. Almost everything comes really easily if you over-prepare, so that’s what I tend to do. So if I feel like I don’t have anything to say about this, it’s clear I have not done my homework. Kelton Reid: Let’s talk a little bit about your workflow. What hardware or typewriter model are you presently using? Demian Farnworth: I think that it’s a MacBook Air, and it’s the 13-inch screen, and that’s the extent of what I know. Kelton Reid: I won’t push you on that one. What software do you use most for your writing work? Demian Farnworth: I like to work inside WordPress. If like I’m working on something for our blog, whether it’s our blog or my own blog, I will work in WordPress so that we automatically have the code behind the links and all that if I need to share the text version of it. That’s the preferred way, to work straight in WordPress. If I need to, I ll work in Word, and of course, sometimes I work in Google Docs and on the platform medium, but that’s more copy/paste stuff than anything. Kelton Reid: Do you have any best practices for beating procrastination? Demian Farnworth: I think the only thing that I can say to that is that I just do it. Procrastination does not discriminate between something I really want to work on versus something I don’t want to work on. It’ll occur, but it’s more, I think, just laziness than anything. I know that I’ve got to do it, and that’s why I’m a routine guy. I need to sit down. I have my time. I ve got to work, and I ve got to do the work. I know that it’s not going to go away, so I just need to deal with it. I just tell myself, “Whether you want to do this or not, you have to do it.” If it’s something I want to do, I’ll do it first so it’s done and I don’t have it hanging over my head. Other than that, it’s just “sit down and do the work.” Kelton Reid: This is a broad question, but how do you stay organized? Do you have any mad science or methods? I know I’ve seen some photos of your office. Demian Farnworth: Well, yeah. When I do research, the process is like this. As I mentioned, over-prepare. So you’ve got notes scattered everywhere, whether they’re written or in Evernote. Then organize. Bring those notes together. Codify them into one platform, like Evernote. Then I transfer them into the whiteboard so that I can start to see them and see them in place and how these pieces are going to fit in together. Typically, that occurs when I’m working on something that’s large and sequential and long-term. For example, when I did the native advertising series or the Google+ series, that was my very precise procedure because I knew that I had six or seven articles to write on that. I had a lot of material, and I wanted to see how everything fit into place. It’s word-based storyboarding, is the way I’d probably describe it. Kelton Reid: Yeah. Demian Farnworth: I can see it, and then I can just move parts around and say, “That’s going to go there,” and then pile it. That’s how I would organize my work. Kelton Reid: Okay. The last question about your workflow is, how do you unplug at the end of the day? Demian Farnworth: That’s a good question. I try to get up and leave my office, and I try to leave my phone behind and everything. Then I go spend time with my son or my daughter or go for a run or go read a book completely unrelated to work. It’s really those three things: run, play with the family, or read. Kelton Reid: I want to take a quick pause to mention that The Writer Files is brought to you by the Rainmaker Platform.

Head over to Rainmaker.FM/platform right now, and get back to building your online business. All right, let’s talk a little bit about creativity. How do you define creativity in your own words? 3 Timeless Ideas That Lead to Enhanced Creativity Demian Farnworth: That’s a good one. I think creativity is really just bringing two, divergent ideas together. I mean, being creative is experimenting and putting pieces together until they work. That’s such a hard one. I think it was T.S. Eliot who described what a poem was. His metaphor was a chemical reaction where two different elements come together and create something totally new. I think I’ve always probably defaulted back to that definition of creation, creativity. Implicit in that is that idea of experimentation and play and failure, but at the same time enjoying that until you get to a place like, “Aha, that finally works.” Kelton Reid: Okay, so on that note, who or what is your Muse at the moment? Demian Farnworth: Probably music. As a writer, I can’t get away from the connection that when I’m writing something, I want to create an image in someone’s head that they would see with their mind’s eye that could be compared to the way music appears in people’s heads. When I think about the people who inspire me, it’s almost always musicians. Now, I have my favorite writers, but musicians really inspire me because I think there’s something about music that I would like to be able to do, but create as a writer. I don’t play any instruments, so I have to pretend like I play the keyboard or something. Kelton Reid: Right, back to your initial metaphor, which I love. Can you share a favorite inspirational quote? Demian Farnworth: I don’t think it’s inspirational, but my favorite quote for sure has to be Will Rogers. He said, “Never miss an opportunity to shut up.” I say that’s inspirational in a sense because I need to be inspired to listen to people versus always being forceful and being the first one to speak and being quick to answer. I’m inspired by the idea of being silent and letting other people speak and tuning in on who they are, so you only do that when you’re quiet. Kelton Reid: Well put. What makes a writer great in your opinion? Demian Farnworth: Not giving up. I think that’s cheesy, but the reason I say that is because I go back to this idea. I m like, “So let s define what a great writer is. It s someone who, in my mind, passes the test of time — so has a legacy, has longevity, and what they’re saying applies universally. Now, I know in our field, that’s hard to get to because a lot of times, what we’re dealing with is just superficial, time-dominated issues. We could write something that is really meaningless a year later because the industry has changed in some sense. I think a writer is great when they have legs, and they can write about anything, and they write well about it. It’s meaningful, and it leaves a taste in your mouth. Why So Many Writers Quit Demian Farnworth: I think the only way you can get there is if you persevere and if you don’t give up because in the end, it’s really a war of attrition. The episode of Rough Draft for this day is basically describing the state of affairs online and the fact that most people don’t read what you write, yet you have to be okay with it and you have to write anyway. A great writer, I think, is someone who says, “Okay, that’s the environment in which I have to work, so now I have to ask myself, ‘Am I okay with that?'” They have to ask that ‘why’ question. “Why am I doing this? If things are so bleak, why am I doing this?” Then they persevere through that because eventually, you have to master that and become someone who’s well-read and well-respected. You have to persevere, and you have to continue and — I say ‘war of attrition’ — to rise above the noise. Eventually you gain traction. A lot of times, you see people who start out, and they’ve got great traction, but for one reason or another, they stop or they have to quit. So they just die out. They don’t reach the potential that they can reach because they didn’t persevere for whatever reason. It’s perseverance that ultimately makes a great writer. I mean, I think about Herman Melville and Moby Dick. He died a penniless stock merchant, and it wasn’t until like 70 years later that people realized the genius of Moby Dick. He had said, “I wrote the gospel of the ages but nobody is paying attention.” Yet he still wrote. He still wrote within that. I admire that. I think that’s what makes a writer great. Of course, the quality of the writing has to be good. Kelton Reid: Do you have a couple of favorite writers at the moment, online or offline? Demian Farnworth: I admire people like Joan Didion, William Faulkner, and Christopher Hitchens. I admire people who have taken the language and have used it in such a way that inspires and is beautiful — like Christopher Hitchens, for example. I like him because of the way he challenged the status quo, and he made just as many friends as he made enemies. Yet he wrote, and he wrote well. He studied people. I like to also read a lot of 16th and 17th century writers too — I don’t know if I’m going to get this right, but Montaigne. Then online — that’s a good question about current writers you might enjoy because most of what I do online is all research-related. David Sedaris is another guy — he doesn’t write online, of course — but David Sedaris is another guy that I like a lot. I like his writing. When it comes to online writers, the people who I really admire, I think, are a lot of the long-form journalists who tell really good stories. I always fall into those. There s guys like, I think, Michael Kruse. He’s down in Tampa Bay. He started the website Gangrey, which is promoting the idea of long-form journalism and trying to keep it alive. Those guys who do that stuff, I always admire. Kelton Reid: Let’s finish up with some fun ones. Who is your favorite literary character? I know you mentioned a few. Demian Farnworth: I would have to think of probably the most recent one — Hazel Motes, which is in Flannery O’Connor’s book. I think it’s Wise Blood. The reason I mentioned him is because a friend and I, we discussed what an awful character he is, but I think we could all could relate to him in some sense because he was religious, but he fought. I mean, he did some awful things. I think of memorable characters, and I always think of him as a memorable character. Of course, anything by Dostoevsky — any character that Dostoevsky writes about, I think, is a memorable character. Kelton Reid: If you could have dinner, all expenses paid at your favorite restaurant in the world with one author, living or dead, who would you choose? Demian Farnworth: I would probably choose William Faulkner because I think he is the writer whom I admire the most. He’s probably one of the most difficult writers to read in some cases, too, but he also wrote some very compelling, very clear, very simple stories, too. I am not sure that it would be interesting to have dinner with him because if you meet most writers, I think they’re just not socially agile people unless they get sauced up. Anyway, William Faulkner. Kelton Reid: Let’s go to who or what has been your greatest teacher in writing or life? Demian Farnworth: I have to say probably my wife because of the way she helped me develop as a writer. It’s that, “behind every great man ” And I’m not suggesting by any means that I’m a great man, but any success that I have, I can point back to my wife. She’s been the person who’s encouraged me and been the fire underneath my seat to get things done. I’ve looked at her and her encouragement and teaching me to continue in spite of obstacles and rejection and just doing things. We all deal with this stuff, but you continue to move on and not to be so overwhelmed by that stuff. She’s been a great teacher. Kelton Reid: What is your biggest writer’s fetish? Demian Farnworth: Fetish. My biggest writer’s fetish. Man Kelton Reid: If you need some help, mine is vintage typewriters. Most writers have some secret thirst. They collect first editions or self-help books. I feel like every writer I’ve ever met has some strange collection or writing-related fetish — pictures of great writers over their desks like deities. Demian Farnworth: Yeah, so this is lame, but it would have to be books. I like books, and I like to buy books, and I like to read books, and I can’t think of a better way to spend time. I know that’s not really a fetish, and I’m not really quiet about it, but it is an obsession, so I hope that counts. Kelton Reid: Maybe if they are actually made of paper, that could count as a fetish. Demian Farnworth: It really is, and I do prefer that. I do prefer the paper version. Kelton Reid: I do, too, I will admit. Can you offer any advice to fellow writers on how to keep the ink flowing and the cursor moving? A Single Word That Will Help You Keep the Cursor Moving Demian Farnworth: What’s worked for me is simply to continue to feed that fire. I read a quote the other day by Plutarch. He was an essayist, like 100 to 200 AD, so around early last millennium. He said to think of it more as a fire and that you need to kindle that fire. If you want to keep the ink going, don’t let the well run dry. Continue to read. Continue to research. Continue to be curious. The most fascinating and the best writers are those who are just insanely curious and can’t stop. I don’t offer that as advice because it’s something that you can’t really teach. It s something you couldn’t instill in people. I think it’s something that’s found within people. So they’re just naturally curious. To keep that cursor moving and the ink from going dry is simply to continue to read and to consume. The metaphor that I like to use a lot is about being a renegade sinkhole. Everything around you, observe and absorb it. Sinkholes are those phenomena in places like Florida where just out of nowhere, everything collapses into a deep hole within it. I think that as a writer, as a good writer, as you’re moving through your life, you’re absorbing and observing everything. It’s just falling into that hole for possible material in the future, whether you do it consciously or not. Kelton Reid: Wow. I just fell into a sinkhole listening to you talk about that. Finally, is there anything else that you’d like writers to know about you, including where they can connect with you online? Demian Farnworth: Yeah. Listen to Rough Draft and let me know what you think. I’d love their support. I appreciate their attention, and I do not take any of that for granted. Please find me at Rough Draft. Kelton Reid: Excellent, and that’s RoughDraft.fm on Rainmaker.FM. Thank you so much, Demian. I really appreciate your time and for creating your own writer file. I definitely look forward to seeing you soon. Demian Farnworth: Thank you. I appreciate this. Thanks for inviting me. Kelton Reid: “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe” — Abraham Lincoln. Some great advice from Mr. Lincoln and also from Mr. Farnworth. Thank you. You can never over-prepare or be too curious. Thanks for flipping through Demian’s file with me.
