Your Digital Identity

A human being: Within 180 days, I was making as much in a month as I would make in a year in my college teaching job.

More than that, though, I was finally able to live where I wanted and work with people living the life I’d only dared to dream of before - I moved to Latin America with Dakota Robertson for 9 months (one of the best experiences of my life).

I’m not exaggerating when I say that this transition — from a ‘good enough’ life, to one where opportunity, wealth and fulfillment are all flowing my way — has profoundly changed who I am.

So if you’re reading this today, trying to find your own way out of a job you hate, or a financial situation that’s limiting your happiness, or your sense of what’s possible in life, then trust me:

I know exactly how you feel.

I also know how you’re going to feel when (if I have anything to do with it) that changes.

Now listen, I know you’re drowning in ‘$10K/month’ stories at this point.

So for the next few minutes, I want you to tune out that noise.

Because if — like me — you’re serious about making a significant impact in the Creator Economy, and significantly improving your own life, you need to understand one thing.

In our fast-growing Creator Economy, who you become gives you more leverage than what you do.

Today, for the first time, I’m going on record to show you how building my Digital Identity has allowed me to:

• Build a $500K/year digital business.

• Make more than $200,000 in personal income.

• Become close friends with top-tier creators who, barely two years ago, didn’t even know I existed.

All without:

• Sending a single cold DM.

• Sharing ANY content I don’t truly believe in, or love to create.

• Imitating a single fellow creator, nor ripping anyone else’s ideas.

You’re about to see why Digital Identity is the real reason behind the momentum I’ve created for myself, my clients, my students and partners.

See, when people connect with me, buy from me, or build with me, they know:

• Who I am

• Where I’ve come from

• What I’ve sacrificed

• What I value

• What I represent

• What I believe in

• What I stand for

A few months back, I was on a call with a young guy who was going all-in on X.

I was trying to get a sense of his biggest challenges so I could help him out.

‘I’ve been on X for a year,’ he said, his voice shaky.

‘And I still haven’t made any money.’

I thought to myself, ‘alright, I’ve heard this before…’

I’ve helped many students build lucrative careers writing for high-paying clients.

But it’s what he said next that almost made me tear up (and no, I’m not just saying that for dramatic effect).

‘I watch other people’s accounts blow up…

‘Their worst posts performing better than my best…

‘I see them share their wins, their growth, their Stripe account screenshots…

‘All while I show up every single day and seem to get nowhere.’

‘I watch all these people win, and I think… am I a fucking loser?’

Hearing this crystallized things for me.

That conversation — and many others like it — made me realize thousands of aspiring creators' dreams are being slowly crushed… Because they don't understand how to build a Digital Identity.

I’d love to say this conversation was a one-off.

But the truth is, people ask me for help all the time.

Take a look:

I literally have hundreds of these messages.

People reaching out, often desperate for guidance and help.

These people are the reason I’m writing this today.

See, I’ve been incredibly lucky.

To have had a professional career in education and writing before I joined the Creator Economy…

To have had guidance and support from Dakota...

To have learnt so much, so fast, (at one point I was writing 100 threads a month — and every single one had to hit big…)

To have been able to create results like these:

Like I say, I’ve been lucky.

I had the right skills and guidance to skip straight to building my Digital Identity.

I didn’t have to toil in ‘beginner hell’, watching my posts sink unseen into the void…

Or chasing ‘easy money’ promises from those pushing toxic hustle-and-grind agendas…

Or watching everyone else win, thinking I was destined to miss out.

I was lucky because I realized, early in my journey, that I had to become someone.

It wasn’t easy (as I said, nothing worth doing ever is).

But — and it pains me to say this — it was a lot easier for me than it’s going to be for you.

See, I started building my Digital Identity two years ago.

Things have already shifted a lot since then. And they’re about to shift even more.

These reports are not coincidental.

We are at a tipping point in the Creator Economy.

About 150 million people will join X in the next few years (let alone LinkedIn and the other already much larger platforms…)

Those starting their journeys today won’t have it anywhere near as easy as those who came before.

But those starting now will have it much easier then those who come after.

As more people flood in, and the value doubles to half a trillion dollars, the heat and hype is only going to intensify.

Here’s what I’m seeing:

The barrier to entry has never been lower.

Anyone can create an account, start posting, and start offering products and services.

But…

The barrier to success has never been higher.

Twelve months ago, you could create an account like this:

What happened? Well, as you can see, a lot.

But the biggest change was that those running paid retweet accounts and so-called ‘engagement’ groups got hit. Hard.

These are not my opinions, by the way — they’re facts.

Feel free to check any of the claims I’m making here — it’s all public knowledge.

The point is…

The Creator Economy is changing fast.

More people.

More money.

More competition.

More obstacles to overcome.

And fewer ways to cheat, or game, the algorithm or the community.

I know you’re not on this page today because you’re looking to cheat or game your way forward.

Which is just as well. Because by now I’m sure you realize…

Having a Digital Identity gives you something that those at the top of the Creator Economy have, and those in the ‘middle class’ do not:

Adaptability.

Take me. I used to be a teacher.

Then, I became a ghostwriter.

Then, I became a Person of Influence, with a Digital Identity.

Now, I have the luxury of choosing what I work on, who I work with and how I attract customers, clients and money.

In less than two years, my Digital Identity has allowed me to:

Build a $500K/year digital business: Writing for multiple Forbes 30 Under 30 clients, and teaching students how to build their own Digital Identities and businesses. Half a million dollars a year — all from delivering unique and exceptional value.

Make more than $200,000 in personal income: Like I said, within six months I was making more in a month than I used to make in a year. My entire relationship to money has transformed.

Build a ‘Top 1%’ network of friends and partners: Dakota Robertson, Jon Brosio, Parker Worth, Luke Matthews, Lara Acosta — we chat and collaborate every week. My circle of friends is now completely aligned with my values and my work.

But here’s the real power of Digital Identity.

It’s not so much what I’ve been able to do, it’s how I’ve been able to do it.

Building my business, personal wealth and network hasn’t required any of the toxic hustle/grind B.S. you might expect.

In fact, I’ve got to where I am today without:

Sending a single cold DM: Not kidding. I have not had to engage in any ‘outreach’ or salesly nonsense to build my Digital Identity and businesses. Going ‘Digital Identity first’ allows you to attract, rather than have to chase, success and growth.

Creating shitty, derivative content: I love to think, write and help people. My work in the Creator Economy aligns perfectly with my passions. I haven’t had to do anything I didn’t truly want to do to build my audience and brand.

Ripping anyone else’s ideas or brand: I know you’ve seen your fair share of accounts that wholesale rip off of others. Copies, of copies, of copies. I’ve not had to do this. My ideas, my content and my Digital Identity are 100% my own.

Everything I’ve told you up to this point has been about me, my journey and my Digital Identity transformation.

But the real reason I’m writing to you today is not to flex my own achievements or experiences.

The real reason I’m writing to you today is about you, and your journey to becoming a Person Of Influence.

So without further ado, allow me to introduce the project I’ve been working on for the past seven months:

Yes, technically, this is a so-called ‘cohort’.

But, not as you know it.

This is a deep, intensive community learning experience my partners and I have designed specifically to help you accelerate your Creator Economy journey.

You’ll get top-tier education, resources and guidance on every critical discipline required to create the influence and momentum that flows from a fully realized Digital Identity.

We’re delivering Digital Identity over 10 weeks, beginning the week of October 9th.

Each week is a module, or sprint, focused on one discipline and based around an in-depth, intensive lecture.

This is the structure:

I’m not exaggerating when I say Digital Identity is an online university experience for the next generation of truly influential people.

Here’s what I mean.

The first ever Digital Identity class will be spread across four dorms, or ‘houses’.

Just the same way as you join a fraternity or sorority at university…

Or as the characters in Harry Potter are ‘sorted’ when they join Hogwarts.

(I’m a huge Harry Potter fan, obviously.)

The difference with Digital Identity’s houses, is we’ve named them in honor of the Creator Economy’s pioneers.

When you enroll, you’ll be sorted into either:

We’ll be placing you into a house for two reasons.

1) We want you to form strong bonds with your fellow students — just like at university. This happens best in smaller groups. You’ll attend the same lectures and masterclasses, and have access to all the same material. But you’ll break into your Digital Dorm groups to discuss and apply what you’re learning.

2) The Creator Economy is by nature highly competitive. So it is with Digital Identity. We will be pitting your house against the other three. Those who take what they learn and achieve the best results, will win special prizes and get a higher level of access than the rest.

The Digital Dorms are designed to incentivize you to maximize your Digital Identity experience, and, more importantly, bond with your fellow students.

There’s a reason you’ll often hear ‘you are the average of the people you surround yourself with’.

My journey would not have been possible without the connections I’ve made in forging my Digital Identity.

When you enroll in our program today, you will put yourself in the (virtual) room not only with me and my guest lecturers…

But with a tight-knit crew of highly motivated, hungry people with talents, ambitions and connections that I promise will allow you to compound and capitalize on your own.

A place in one of our Digital Dorms (Raven-Koe, Dakota-Puff, Gryffin-Drew or Slyther-Welsh) — where you’ll get to know and work with the next generation of breakthrough Digital Identity masters.

Seventeen hours of exclusive guest masterclasses and guidance from the most exceptionally talented, high-impact People Of Influence.

Nineteen detailed ‘system’ documents I’ve created to help you rapidly apply and start benefiting from the ideas and principles we’ll be teaching you in the lessons and lectures.

I don’t see the point in teaching you a bunch of stuff and then leaving you to work it out on your own.

I’m getting back to my teaching roots — teaching you from my own experience, explaining the theories and principles, and giving you every system you need to turn them into your own habits and processes.

As a Digital Identity student, you’ll get access to:

To put all this into perspective…

I paid $5,500 to learn ghostwriting from Dakota.

He paid roughly the same to learn from Dan Koe.

Today, you have the chance to learn not just from someone who’s taken the same Digital Identity journey as both of these People Of Influence.

You’ll learn from me and 17 others plugging you directly into the ideas and processes driving progress in the Creator Economy’s top tier.

And you won’t pay even half what I paid to start my journey.

Your enrollment in Digital Identity will cost you just $2,499.

That breaks down to $249 a week.

The average 60-minute consulting call with a big creator ranges from $500 to $1,000.

You get a full masterclass lecture every week, plus a guest masterclass, plus a Q&A / implementation call.

Going by the average top creator consulting fee, that’s $1,500 to $3,000 of value a week — for a fraction of the price.

We’ve priced it at this level because we believe that figure balances accessibility with serious investment.

If $2,499 sounds like too much of an investment to access everything we’ve created for our students, then Digital Identity is not for you.

If you understand that this amount is, in fact, probably far too low relative to the value you’ll receive, then you can...

Digital Identity enrollments are open until midnight (Eastern time) on Friday, September 29.

After that, we close the doors and begin preparing you for the program.

You’ll be placed into your Digital Dorm, and we’ll onboard you into our education platform so you’re good to go once we kick off...

If you’re still reading at this stage, there’s a good chance you are the type of student we’re for.

I can’t wait to connect with you and get started.

I feel like I’m getting back to my teaching roots.

There’s nothing I’m more excited about right now than seeing who my first ever Digital Identity students become over months and years ahead.

That being said, we will be capping enrollments if we feel demand threatens to dilute the quality of the experience for our students.

We expect hundreds of thousands will read this page while it’s live.

We will take it down if we hit capacity before our scheduled close.

If you’re reading this, it means there’s a spot waiting for you.

I know you’re going to get a great deal out of your Digital Identity experience.

But, I want to remove any risk you might feel around investing $2,499 today.

So let me be clear:

If at any time in your first 14 days as a Digital Identity student, you don’t feel it’s fair value, or it’s the right fit for you…

You can message me directly for a full refund.

I might ask questions — since I’d obviously want to know why — but you will get all your enrollment fee back.

And, you can keep everything we give you in those first 14 days, with my compliments.

While we’re talking transactionally here, let me also add:

I’m NOT promising you that Digital Identity is going to give you a specific result.

Like I said, this isn’t your regular ‘make your first $1,000 online’ type of cohort.

I AM promising resources, education and support to create your own Digital Identity.

Digital Identity is much bigger than just making money online.

The nature of what we’re teaching and sharing means there is no guarantee.

As long as you understand this...

This is it.

Digital Identity is open until midnight this coming Friday.

I’ve shared everything you need to know about the program here on this page.

Now, it’s down to you.

Will you keep battling alone, trying to build something in the ever more crowded and competitive Middle Class of the Creator Economy?

Or will you invest $2,499 today in our 10-week Digital Identity program — the closest thing you’ll find to a university experience outside of the traditional classroom…

And commit to becoming a Person Of Influence right at the most pivotal moment we’ve ever reached in our space?

I can’t make your decision for you.

You either enroll now, or you leave this page and sit on the sidelines while I teach, train and transform the next generation of Creator Economy champions.

I’ll leave you with two quotes.

This is from a recent study by Razorfish and Vice Media Group:

It became obvious to me very quickly just from hearing Taylin talk on Twitter Spaces that he has a deep understanding of digital business, and how to make money online. When I had the chance to get some coaching from him, he did not disappoint. He changed the way I think about making money online, and helped me gain clarity on my offer so that I could actually start earning a living by doing what I love. As much as he knows his sh*t in business, he's an even better person. Taylin's as real as it gets. You will NOT regret working with him.

I'm Fernando and I run a Ghostwriting Agency. I've been following Taylin for a little under a year now and through the actionable advice and wisdom in his content, it has helped me grow my agency past $10k+/month. Because he's given so much free value online, I hired him to coach me to help scale my agency. Through this, he has given me so much clarity on what to do and what to avoid to win in the agency space. The thing about Taylin is that he can distil concepts and experiences down so well and explain them simply for anyone to understand (probably got good at this due to his teaching background). Highly recommend coaching from Taylin. Super cool dude and very chill to talk to.

I'm Nick Miller, a former defense engineer turned content creator and ghostwriter. Taylin has guided me along my journey, from barely knowing what social media marketing was, to on the verge of becoming a full time creator. Not only did Taylin give me the tools to succeed; he showed me how to use them (which I can't say for many any other coaches out there). I first came across Taylin on Twitter. A small creator, I sent him a DM expecting no response... He proceeded to answer any question I had about writing and even helped me write my first thread (which went viral). Taylin's depth (and breadth) of knowledge is beyond ~any~ other creator I've met. This guy seriously knows his stuff (and more importantly, knows how to teach it.) The most valuable part of working with Taylin has been his willingness to go above and beyond. He probably even goes a little overboard with delivering value. But, hey - I'm not complaining. I'd only recommend Taylin's services to those who are serious about growing as a creator, writer, or entrepreneur... If that's you, you found the right guy.

I've been connected with Taylin for about 7 months now, and I can say with 100% certainty meeting him changed my life. I had him on my podcast back in February when I was very early in my Creator journey, and after chatting for him for around 90 minutes we developed a strong relationship. A few weeks later, he was at capacity with his ghostwriting agency, and was gracious enough to funnel me a lead. That lead become my first full time ghostwriting client, which allowed me to take the leap from college student to full time Creator. Over the past 7 months, Taylin has been the guy I go to when I have a question about ghostwriting, online business, and the creator economy. Now, there's no chance I'm ever going back to the "normal" way of doing things. And to trace back to the origin, this was only possible because of the goodwill and genuine desire to help from Taylin.

Hey, I'm Aaqiel and I've been working with Taylin over the past 30+ days. He's helped me understand the meaning behind building a personal brand. He taught me how to conduct market research so I could write in a way that speaks to my target audience. His frameworks and methods for writing high-converting tweets, threads, and creating give-aways are "next level". Furthermore, he's helped me with building a personal brand that generates engagement, profile visits leading to building a loyal "tribe" of followers. It's been an absolute pleasure working with Taylin. And I can confidently say if anyone is looking to work with him to build their personal brand - he's you guy.

Taylin is such a genuine person and a master of his craft. I remember the second I found his content, I was hooked. From the witty way he wrote his tweets, to the actual understanding of the gold nuggets he was dropping within them, I knew I had to reach out to him. He was nice enough to agree to come on our podcast, share some insights, and we have been in talks ever since. He has been there when I needed help with my own content as a guiding light, and I cannot say better things. Truly a talented dude who knows what he is talking about, and it clearly reflects in his work. This testimonial probably isn't doing him enough justice, so you may just have to work with him and see for yourself.

Coming into Twitter I was overwhelmed by the amount of content that looked the same. Except Taylin's. His exceptional writing skills stood out to me immediately, but his ideas hooked me. He nails both authority and personal content perfectly and as a ghostwriter and personal brand consultant I respect that skill a lot. It's hard to master, and Taylin's got it. Everynow and then (daily pls) when I hit a writer's block I scroll through his content for new ideas and perspectives - I take a lot of inspiration from him. - Great hooks - Fantastic structures - Awesome personal content I'm excited for his cohort launching in August, it's got everything I wish I had when I started 12 months ago :)

Taylin is one of the few people I could listen to speak for hours on end and still want more. For as long as I've known him, he's consistently brought well-thought out, unique perspectives and seems to always stay one step ahead of the market. Taylin generously agreed to lend his time to my podcast and Twitter Spaces audiences, something he continually does for creators smaller than him in an effort to pour back into his community and foster positivity. I view Taylin as a role model both personally and professionally and can unequivocally say this cohort will pay for itself 10x over for anyone looking to take their life to the next level.

I've been writing copy and selling stuff on the internet for more than a decade. I've sold tens of millions worth of info products & services for agencies and gurus all over the world. I know the difference between a run-of-the-mill guru and a genuine top-tier entrepreneurial intellect. Taylin's the latter. From our first informal conversation to our intensive creative & commercial collaboration, Taylin has continued to impress me. His dedication to high-quality writing and business, the depth of his curiosity, and the scope of his vision, are key reasons I've chosen to work with him. Taylin is a high calibre creator with a deep understanding of digital business and - more importantly - digital identity. His ambition and drive to help people goes above and beyond 'brand building' and 'monetization'. I 100% believe Taylin is that rare breed of internet entrepreneur who is shaping the future of the Creator Economy. If you're considering learning from, or working with, Taylin, I'd encourage you to take action immediately. This man's gifts are simply too valuable to pass up.

I am currently working a 9-5 job, but looking to develop my personal brand to have that as my sole focus. Taylin has massively improved both my writing and branding. I have been taught multiple writing frameworks which I can apply my personal stories and expertise to. He is also great at offering constructive feedback to my work where I can improve to continuously improve. He's an expert when it comes to grabbing and retaining attention. The improvement in my writing has strengthened my branding by offering higher quality content. He also helped with theories on what works best on Twitter and gave me the tools to optimise my profile. The most valuable aspect of working with Taylin is having the opportunity to learn from someone who has proven that he is able to create and build a personal brand and agency.

My name is Zaafir and I'm developing my skills as a ghostwriter on Twitter. I've been in Taylin's ghostwriting cohort for almost 3 weeks and there are a couple of weeks left in the program. In the cohort Taylin has given lots of details on how to build a high quality personal brand and monetize my audience with ghostwriting services. The resources he's provided are very well structured and practical for a person on any level. I've been using the resources and all of the tips Taylin has given to me and it's allowed me to generate ideas for content easier, write purposeful content, and I'm working towards monetizing my brand and signing clients. My audience is growing and I'm building my network on Twitter thanks to Taylin. I've gained a lot of value from Taylin's advice, whenever I have a question for him he always makes time. His guidance is helping me whilst I work towards closing my first client. If you're interested in anything related to Twitter branding and business, Taylin is your man. He's built a successful content marketing agency which is on its way to 7 figures soon. Thanks, Zaafir

Been copywriting for the past 1.5 years... And had just started ghost-writing for a client on Twitter. I was new to the Twitter game and didn't understand what worked on the platform. My posts weren't really popping and going viral... And I couldn't figure out what I was missing. So jumped on a call with Taylin... And here shared a few little tricks to going viral. The next thread I posted after implementing his tips... Was the best performing post on the account. And now regularly my tweets go viral. I grew the account from 0-2k followers in 2 months... In a pretty tough niche. And Taylin's tips was a big reason for that.
