Earlier this year my Twitter feed was flooded with a group of writers from #Ship30for30. If you want to build a writing habit in a supportive community and well run course structure, Ship 30 for 30 is can't-miss opportunity.
→ Join the next cohort at http://mattragland.com/Ship30
→ Free training with me, Dickie, and Cole at https://mattragland.podia.com/replay-...
→ One Week Writer email course (for Ship30) https://matt.ck.page/ship30-evergreen
They start new cohorts every 6-8 weeks, so no matter when you watch this video there is an opportunity to join!
As the month went on I was astounded to see how consistent the “shippers” were at putting their ideas in the world. The practice resonated with me, because OG subscribers to my channel will remember that I launched on YouTube with a 30 day challenge in February 2017.
What I didn’t have for my challenge and Ship30for30 does is a community of people who were along for the ride. Ship30 solved the three biggest problems of building a creative habit.
1. Generating ideas to write about
2. Helpful constraints to work in
3. A community to cheer you on
That last point is so important. If you’ve started publishing content on the internet before you know how lonely it can feel to publish a video, newsletter, or podcast and have no one respond. Even for the most dedicated creators it’s a difficult challenge to overcome.
The best part of Ship30, besides the confidence of becoming a writer, is the community you build. There’s always someone on Twitter liking, commenting, celebrating, and supporting new Ship30for30 essays - so you never feel like you’re shouting into the void. We see you and are so excited you decided to ship.
You can also get a free training with myself, Dickie, and Cole about how to generate endless ideas for writing, protect your “sacred hours” to write, and use Twitter the way it was meant to be used… as the greatest idea lab ever created. Sign up here - https://matt.ck.page/ship30-evergreen
Thanks for watching this video about my experience with Ship30for30, I truly believe it’s one of the best if not the best course, community, and challenge for building a writing habit. I’d love to see you what you ship in the future, tag me on Twitter @mattragland and I’ll be sure to like and follow your essays. See you there!
