hi, i am asif 👋
Writer, content-first marketer, and banned fortune teller. Have worked with Neil Patel Digital, Semrush, SaaS Labs, and 100+ brands.
I have built (and tanked) several media projects over 10 years. Check out 99 things about me.
I absolutely love watching clouds, playing chess, and 97 other things.
Check out these MVP resources: how to find clients, how much should freelance writers charge, how to build a portfolio that converts.
Here are other important links: latest notes, professional profile, nudes, let’s talk?
She cursed me in Bangkok. Now I can’t charge for shit.
Here’s what happened:
I was a li’l drunk in a Bangkok back alley when this woman grabbed my wrist. She was covered in tattoos, and her eyes were wild. “You,” she said, pointing at me, “are cursed to never sell bullshit courses.”
I laughed. She didn’t.
She jabbed my finger with a needle and disappeared. Just like that.
Five years later, I still can’t package my knowledge into some $997 course. I’ve tried. But every time I start, weird shit happens. My computer dies. My finger burns. Files disappear.
So here’s the deal: I’m done fighting it.
I won’t sell you courses about business or clients or freelancing or writing or marketing. But I will share insights I’ve learned over a decade of working for marketing agencies, startups, publicly traded companies, and myself.
This newsletter is free because some mystical woman in Bangkok made me promise. And I’m not brave enough to find out what happens if I break that promise.
I write about marketing your services, finding clients, charging more, growing your service-based business, and 11 other stuffs—without the normative bullshit.
No courses. No upsells.
Just straight fucking talk about what works. In 100-word emails.
