I had my best month of revenue so far! I made $10,800 in July 2026 💰 Mostly from social media ghostwriting I got an SEO client and new ghostwriting client on the 31st but I'm waiting for them to pay. So August is looking good. July was my 3rd month in a row of higher money

It's kinda funny when you make a client go viral because as a ghostwriter, I get zero credit 😀 Good thing I really don't have a big ego! I'm happy for someone else to get all the attention. As a ghostwriter, that's what the money is for! (My client did say thank you btw )

Poor Charlie's Almanack is now out in paperback in the UK! His "invert" theory has been really big for me recently. £12.99 in Waterstones. I've just ordered my copy.

I made $7,272 in June 2026 💰 A mix of ghostwriting, SEO and newsletter ads Thanks to all my clients 😀 (It was really close to a $10k month as I'll have a new transaction today)

I'm planning to shift my High Signal newsletter to one issue per week instead of two • fewer people are building in public • I'm not doing so many interviews to justify the Wed send • I'd prefer to send one really tight issue • It frees up time to work on growth/other work

I helped my buddy Cam with SEO recently We went over keywords, changes to his h1, changes to his site structure and loads of other points to change If you want practical help with SEO for your startup, gimme a shout and we'll have a call 😎 www.petecodes.io/seo-freelanc...

B2B sales cycles are looooooong I had a meeting with a local businessman in October about ghostwriting and SEO. On Friday he came back to me wanting to start. Now he's paid £900/ $1,200😀

How far would you travel for a founder meetup? For me to get from Edinburgh to Nantes I took • one bus • one tram • one flight • another bus • two metros • a train I guess a direct flight would be better next time 😅
