Here’s how Ship 30 for 30 works

Learn the fundamentals of digital writing

• On the surface, Ship 30 for 30 is a course teaching you how to write effectively on the internet.
• Upon joining, you’ll unlock a 4-week curriculum packed with frameworks that guarantee you become a prolific digital writer.
• 8 Live Sessions covering everything you need to know to write effectively on the internet
• BONUS ACCESS to all prior Ship 30 for 30 live session recordings (over 100 hours of content)
• ‍16 recorded modules digging deeper into the frameworks introduced in the live sessions (over 20 hours of recording you have access to forever)
• ‍Templates, examples, and swipe files for you to download and use (that will save you hours of headache in the future)
• ‍Weekly Q&A sessions to reinforce everything you’ve learned (and make sure nobody gets left behind)

Put your learnings into practice by writing and publishing every day for 30 days

• Other writing courses charge you thousands of dollars, only to wave their hands in the air with “theory.”
• And by the end, you leave with a bunch of notes that sit in a folder for eternity. Meanwhile, you’re still confused and unsure about the next step to take.
• But Ship 30 for 30 is about moving quickly, taking action, and keeping a tight feedback loop.
• You will write and publish an Atomic Essay (a short, 250-word essay on a single idea), every day for 30 days, all from your very own Social Blog (that you create during your first week).
• In just 30 days, you’ll build an entire library of content that serves as the foundation for months, if not years of future content.
• And by writing and publishing every day, you’ll demolish your perfectionism, impostor syndrome, and fear of hitting the publish button.

Immerse yourself in a diverse community of other writers, all on the same journey as you

• Writing online doesn’t have to be lonely.
• But for most beginner writers, it certainly feels that way.
• Which is why Ship 30 for 30 is the best onboarding program to writing online.
• Other writing courses encourage you to write weekly blog posts into the void – and as a result you hear the sad crickets of indifference from the internet.
• But in Ship 30, you’ll surround yourself with like-minded people with the same goal as you: to start writing more and publishing more consistently.
• Every age, from college students to working professionals to retired individuals and everything in between
• Every profession, every socioeconomic background, and every possible life perspective
• ‍67 different countries, every continent and every time zone

Build lifelong friendships while using the community for accountability and feedback

• The internet has democratized access to friendship.
• No longer are your friends limited to the people on your street or at your school.
• Now, you have access to millions of people with the same interest as you. But, you need to know how to find them.
• And Ship 30 for 30 is that place.
• We have writers interested in every single topic under the sun, and we ensure you are meeting as many of them as possible.
• Upon joining, we pair you with groups of people with the same goals and interests as you.
• These groups provide the accountability, feedback, and motivation you need to finally start writing consistently.
• And throughout the cohort, you have dozens of chances to collaborate, build friendships, learn from one another, give and receive feedback, and everything in between.
