Meet Your Instructors

Built by the founders of the internet's #1 writing program.

Created by Nicolas Cole & Dickie Bush — the team behind Ship 30 for 30, the program that's taught over 10,000 writers to start writing online.

10,000+ WRITERS TAUGHT $20M+ IN DIGITAL PRODUCTS

Nicolas Cole

Co-Founder, Ship 30 for 30 & Premium Ghostwriting Academy

I challenged myself to write every single day on Quora for a year — and became the #1 most-read writer on the platform, out of 200 million users. That habit led to a column at Inc Magazine, a multimillion-dollar ghostwriting agency, and my book, The Art & Business of Online Writing. Today I've distilled 10+ years of online writing into Ship 30 for 30 to get you started in just 30 days.

Dickie Bush

Co-Founder, Ship 30 for 30

I started writing online in January 2020 by publishing a short post every single day for 30 days — squashing my perfectionism, 10x-ing my writing speed, and growing my audience over 500%. A single tweet to 500 followers turned that experiment into Ship 30 for 30. Together with Cole, I've packed everything we know about building habits and writing online into the program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Still have questions?

I've never written anything online. Will this be too advanced?

No — not at all. We built this 5-day challenge to help people like you get started on the right foot. You're in great hands, and we'll make sure you feel confident every step of the way.

How much time should I plan on dedicating?

5 days, with a 60-minute live session each day. For the best results, show up live (or watch replays before the next session) and block ~30 minutes a day to put your learnings into practice.

What if I can't attend live?

No problem — every call is recorded and added to your Student Hub immediately, with lifetime access.

I've been writing online for a while. Will this still be valuable?

Yes. Even experienced writers who've gone through our programs walk away with cutting-edge tactics and best practices they hadn't tried before.

I've tried writing online before and didn't see success. How is this different?

After training 10,000+ writers, we can tell you: if you're not seeing results, it's probably a handful of fixable mistakes. We'll help you spot them and show you what to do differently.

Will this sprint make me money?

If you have a product or service, writing online is one of the best ways to drive organic traffic and customers — and we'll show you exactly how. That said, we don't promise any specific monetary outcome.

How is this different from Ship 30 for 30?

Ship 30 for 30 ran from 2023–2025. Think of the Start Writing Online Sprint as a compressed version — the same core outcome in a fraction of the time, updated with current tactics, platforms, and templates.

Wait — how is this actually free?

We wanted this sprint in front of as many people as possible, so we decided to include it with AI Writing Skool instead of selling it on its own. AIWS comes with a 30-day free trial — so start the trial and the entire $199 sprint is included: sessions, curriculum, templates, and both bonuses.

Do I have to put in a credit card?

Yes — the trial is set up through Skool, so you'll enter a card to start it. You are not charged today, and you can cancel from inside your Skool settings at any point in those 30 days.

What happens when the 30 days are up?

If AI Writing Skool is a fit, you stay on as a member at $99/month — and we'll email you multiple times before you're billed a cent, so it won't sneak up on you. If it isn't a fit, cancel before day 30 and you'll never be charged. Either way, the sprint itself costs you nothing to join and participate in.

Can I really do the whole sprint inside the trial?

That's the whole point. The sprint runs Monday to Friday, well inside the 30 days — so you can attend every session, work through the material, use the bonuses, and see everything else in AIWS before you decide anything.
