A 3-minute read that will change your life (or at least generate enough content about changing your life to earn $0.17)

I never thought I’d make it as a writer.

Then I discovered something revolutionary: Why write when you can recruit other writers to write about recruiting writers?

And that’s when everything changed…

The Birth of MMLM (Medium Multi-Level Marketing)

If it looks like a pyramid and acts like a pyramid it’s probably a duck.

It hit me one morning while reading my 47th “How I Made $1000 on Medium” article: the platform was missing its true calling.

We weren’t just writers.

We were entrepreneurs.

We were potential downlines waiting to happen.

The MMLM Success Framework™

(A totally original system I developed after reading every other system)

1. Write articles about writing articles

2. Recruit writers to write about your articles about writing articles

3. Teach them to recruit writers to write about writing about writing articles

4. Question the nature of reality

The Revolutionary BOOST™ Matrix

I guarantee you will fall down the rabbit hole with my course.

Here’s my proprietary BOOST™ system (that I definitely didn’t copy from 47 other articles):

Build following by following everyone writing about building a following

Optimize your optimization articles about optimization

Oversaturate the market with saturation advice

Start seventeen newsletters about starting newsletters

Teach others how to teach others how to teach

And that’s when everything changed… again…
