What Alumni Shippers Are Saying

Dickie and Cole's enthusiasm, excitement, and grit in teaching all things digital writing is infectious. With their outcome based focus, it's impossible to take the course and not accelerate your digital writing journey.

Digital writing is fun and worth investing time in. That phrase comes to mind when I think about the Ship 30 for 30 Cohort of Dickie Bush and Nicolas Cole. I’ve had the pleasure of learning from Dickie and Cole during the Live Cohort Session. Above all, I was impressed with Cole’s and Dickie ability to demystify digital writing and break it down into a digestible practical framework. I am not saying it’s easy, but worth investing my time and making time for writing. The best part is that after about 21 days, I got nervous if I had not put out any content, even if it was just a simple tweet.

I'm super impressed with the Ship30 structure and community. I'm still in the early stages of defining my niche, and I am so looking forward to this journey. I'm psyched to be a part of this unusual and positive space of motivated and empowered individuals.

Before joining my first Ship30for30 cohort, I had about 40 followers I’d somehow accrued since joining in 2012 and posting 1or 2 tweets. After 30 days of writing in the cohort, I’m up to 200 followers, I’ve posted 400 tweets, over 15,000 impressions, and 6,000 profile visits. I’d say the biggest lesson I learned is to keep posting to test what’s most interesting to your audience, then keep testing that type of content and/or format to find your sweet spot for engagement. I highly recommend joining the next cohort of you’re on the fence.

Ship 30 for 30 trully was a transformative experience! It gave me a lot of insights, inspiriation and opened a whole new world of opportunities for me. The energy and positive vibe of the community is really amazing. If you want to build an audience, learn to write online and have ambitions to sell digital content Ship 30 for 30 is the way to go.

I really did not see any value with writing. And in English? Not my native language? Why bother. Just before I joined ship30, I started to get a glimpse of the power of writing to reach and move people. And since I am in the business of change, I need to create impact. Ship30 started me on that journey with a jetpack attached to my back. Ship30 is an incredible container designed for you to start using one of the most powerful tools in todays world - writing online. It is worth every penny just for the beautiful community. Nothing will drive you to succeed more than your tribe. If you are looking for heart-centered, growth oriented professionals to connect with, there is no other place on the internet as welcoming as the ship30 community. Joinnnnn ussssss

For all of the courses out there I've spent money on, this is the One Course To Rule Them All. Dickie and Cole stuff so much value into S30F30 it's an embarrassment to everyone else on the market. Bonus: you learn how to run a great course from being in this great course. Don't hesitate!

Ship 30 is simply brillient program about Digital Writing. I struggled for 8 years to start writing on social media consistently before joining the Ship 30 cohort. I felt imoster, fear of rejection, imperfection and tribe judgement and could not start writing and publishing online. Throughout the program I wrote & publish everyday on social media on random topics to get rid of shyess, imposters and fear of rejections. Imperfect posts were published as the goal was to achieve progress instead of perfection. The templates are great tool to help writer and organize thoughts on topic. They made the writing and publishing process much easier, faster and self validating. Based on value I received from Ship 30 program I enrolled into Captain's Table to continue my growth as Digital Writer to move towards becoming Digital Builder. The Ship 30 experience was surplrisingly plesant for me. I could not have written & published posts for 30 days consecutively without the support from Ship 30 cohort fellows. Dicki & Nicole are simply amazing.

Ship 30 is the greatest online writing tool on planet Earth. Everyone needs to get it if they want to write better online

I knew Ship 30 was going to be a game changer, but I didn't know by how much. In 30 days, I: • Wrote every day (not just for clients, but for myself, and my audience). • Set aside and created a habit of Sacred Hours for personal work • Launched GrowHort (a community-based co-hort for first time growers) as well as a Discord and Digital Assets to support this effort • Consistently published 2x Newsletters each week • Repurposed my Content Strategy (TW-> LI and IG) • Organized My Office (personal development is a HUGE byproduct of Ship30) • Am halfway through my next co-author project • Was asked to be part of an Education Website related to my niche I also learned the key to beating imposter syndrome (specificity) and that you have to make time, not find time, to make changes in your life. Ship 30 offers so much clarity and personal development, you'll want to take it twice (and you can!).

In just over a month, I gone from not writing to shipping 45 essays in 45 days. In public! I'm feel so focussed & energised to make things happen now. All because I signed up for Ship 30 For 30. It's so well structured & supported that you can't help but move forward. If you're reading this - do yourself a favour & join the course. I'm confident that it'll make a big difference. It has for me. You can thank me later.

Ignore every other course and community on Twitter and go all in with Ship 30 for 30! It's hard to describe the inspiration I feel surging through my body every day since joining. Dickie, Cole, and gang have created a unique environment that (if you commit to writing 30 days in a row) is GUARANTEED to make you a better writer, introduce you to like-minded digital friends, and set you on course for the next 1, 3, 5 years of your journey as a digital writer and builder. Specifically, the templates and writing frameworks are unmatched for removing friction and getting you started as a beginner. And their philosophy for action-oriented challenges (instead of passive learning) makes it fun and INFINITELY more valuable to participate.

Ship 30 is the best cohort-course I've ever taken. It truly is a life-changing experience. Dickie & Cole have created something immensely valuable. You will go from 0 to 1 if you take this course. From not having a writing habit to hitting publish every single day. If you are on the fence about joining, let me ask you this: How often have you tried building a writing habit but failed miserably? Ship 30 solves this issue by providing you with an INCREDIBLE community that will support you.

You've tried similar courses in the past, you can never stay motivated long enough to get it done. If you're on the fence about joining Ship30 because you don't know if you'll be able to complete it, read this: You can do anything for a month. Ship30 is a sprint, not a marathon. But it does teach you pacing. You're encouraged to learn how to write daily so you can turn your sprint speed into marathon speed. To top it off, there are prompts for each day to keep you from starring at a blank screen not knowing what to write.

I am so impressed with Ship 30 for 30! It's an immersive, high energy and valuable cohort that I'll forever be grateful for. I learned the fundamentals of digital writing from all the in-depth live trainings, and deep dives from Dickie and Cole. And felt accountable to put that learning into action through 30 days of writing and publishing online. I built a daily writing habit, developed my online writing, got closer to finding the topics to double down on, as well as met a bunch of great people. I'm so grateful for Ship 30 and I can't wait for the next one 🚢

THIS PROGRAM IS DIFFERENT I've attended several online/offline programs and I'm blown away by how detailed the curriculum is. COMPREHENSIVE YET FOLLOWABLE In spite of the vastness of content that's covered in 30 days, the step-by-step approach allowed me to get the most out of this program. COMMUNITY OF SHIPPERS The Ship30 community is engaged and learning from not just Dickie and Cole, but also for the mentors and the support of other shippers is incredible. SHIP30: JOURNEY NOT A DESTINATION Digital writing is a journey. Learning about the skills is the science and incorporating the techniques into your own writing is an art. Like any other creative work, this takes time and also requires commitment. Though Ship30 makes this journey an enjoyable one.

I loved Ship 30! I tried in vain to develop a writing habit before—so many blogs in my graveyard!—but thanks to this fantastic cohort, I now possess it for good. It’s one of the bests investments I have ever made.

I can't say enough great things about Ship 30. It's an expertly designed course that keeps you engaged, active, and accountable. Many people quit shortly after starting to write online because they feel like they're writing into the void. With Ship 30, there's an active community of Shippers reading what you publish and offering support and feedback to help you improve. Ship 30 packs so much value that these guys should be doubling the price.

Ship 30 is so jampacked with practical tools, you'll need more than 30 days to master them. The community is amazing and that's where the magic is. If you're someone who likes to immediately implement what you learn, this is for you!

I had never consistently used Twitter before trying ship30for30. I had a lot of trepidation about writing on the platform. I found that the ship30for30 community was very supportive and friendly. The experience was a positive one.

Ship 30 for 30 is the best course I've taken hands down (and I've taken a lot). Not only will you learn about how to be a digital writer, but you'll meet incredible people in the community and develop a habit of writing and publishing every day. I think everyone who is in the online space in any capacity should take this course!

I developed a writing habit, rediscovered how much I love my job, and was surprised to get traction on some things, especially on LinkedIn. Before Ship 30 for 30, I had lots of ideas as a new business owner but no deliverables. My biggest lesson is that writing and creating are my ticket to professional freedom!

Without Ship 30 for 30, I would have never come around to actually begin to write online regularly. The course and the community were a real game changer in terms of building a daily writing habit. I'm still early on my journey but I'm excited for what's to come. I finally have a feeling that I'm moving forward.

Wow, Ship30for30 is a powerful combination of learning to write more effectively and support in taking action! The 30-day challenge was the nudge I needed to launch a side hustle idea I'd been toying with for ages. Thanks!

Ship30 is one of my top three learning experiences - ever. And by far the best value for money. It’s all there to grab and apply … interactive sessions, cohort community, templates, systems, the lot. And the confidence boost from completing the 30 in 30 writing goal is amazing. Highly recommended.

Before Ship 30 for 30, I had a lot of drafts but did not have the confidence to put them out. Now I have 30+ atomic essays out in the open and I'm still writing regularly!

I joined Ship 30 challenge so I can learn how to write online. But got so much more than that. New information, solid support from the team and the incredible in-sights from the community. Meeting people from all over the world and building new friendships was very unexpected. I met so many awesome people and I am very grateful for that. Thank you so much, Ship 30. Cannot wait to join the next round!

The best part of Ship 30 for 30 for me has been the structure and organization of the modules. Dickie, Cole and the rest of the Ship 30 crew throw a lot at you but due to their clarity and often re-reviewing the various subjects they make it very simple to follow along and got the most of the program

I thought I knew how to write online. But I wasn't getting the traction I expected. Ship 30 for 30 gave me the tools and frameworks I needed to level up my writing and skip the painful trial-and-error phase of my journey. If you're on the fence about joining, consider the time you'll save learning from the mistakes Dickie and Cole have already made. I learned in 30 days what would have taken me a year (or more) to figure out on my own.

If you are one of the millions of people scrolling through various platforms and decide that you cannot possibly post anything of value, do I have news for you! Ship 30 will, in the space of 30 days, totatally transform how you view and interact on line. I was somewhat sceptical about achieving what Dickie and Cole forecasted at the beginning of the course. And I am happy to say that I achieved most of my goals and even exceeded some. If, confidence, imoster syndrome or anything else is holding you back, trust me, at the end of this course you will be wondering why you ever worried about those things. After completing the course I am confident that I can take my digital writing journey to wherever I want it to go.

Ship 30 for 30 helped me create better headlines and understand the power of formatting. Further, I was only on LinkedIn prior to the August cohort, I am now on Twitter and understand the power of the platform (a platform that I had major reservations about for years) and how it is useful for the digital writer. I joined the Captain's Table because I wanted to elevate my game and many who actively participated in that program have done very well. The program is worth it - even if you have a consistent writing practice - which I did prior to the program.

After joining Ship30 for 30 days and writing for those 30 days, I realized I'm only scratching the surface. You may find writing information online, but I assure you that it is all generic garbage that will lead you astray. Dickie and Cole break down the fundamentals into simple, digestible frameworks that truly guide you toward your objectives. It's been an extremely rewarding (and challenging) journey, and I'm more eager than ever to continue writing online and creating a category that I own for my audience.

The community of Ship 30 is phenomenal. Writing is a big part, but the interactions with other shippers on twitter is invaluable. It's hard to write alone without any feedback. Ship 30 gives a great way to make writing fun.

Hard-core value 💰 = Ship 30 for 30 ✍ It provides the best (and super professional) framework for learning --- experience. Actually practicing. Learning by doing with a strong, supportive, and engaged and engaging community. Boom 💥 You're not committing to a course, you're committing to yourself - to building a daily writing habit and a community. Jump off the fence and into the deep waters of digital writing led by two amazing writers and business people - Dickie & Cole. You'll get 2 years of schooling in 30 days. Biggest lesson? There's nothing to it but to do it. The best way to become a digital writer is to start and keep writing, and Ship 30 for 30 helps you do just that ⚓️

Before I joined the Ship 30 For 30 Cohort, I wrote literally 0 content. I was simply afraid of the web and what others would think about my writing. Ship 30 for 30 not only helped me to overcome that fear, it also gave me all the essential tools, to become a successful digital writer. I thought writing was a purely creative ongoing, but to my surprise writing—especially digital writing—is a craft like any other, that can learned, refined, and mastered. I attended many courses online, but Ship 30 For 30 is by far the best one. I would recommend it to everyone, who want to start creating content online.

Before I started Ship 30 for 30 I would stare at a blank page to write a post for my blog or an editorial for my online magazine. Now I start with an idea, choose a template as an outline, and jump right in. I've gained confidence as a writer and learned new tools such as Twitter and LinkedIn to share my message. I would encourage anyone on the fence to just jump in. It is worth every dollar and then some!

I tried (and failed) to start a writing habit for 7 years. Ship 30 got me right within 1 month. My favorite parts of Ship 30 were the live calls and templates. I was approaching writing totally wrong. Both of these resources helped me see that I was simply trying at the wrong things.

If you're looking for a well-structured course that will teach you how to write online, Ship 30 For 30 is worth checking out. The course provides you with all the processes and frameworks needed to be a successful digital writer. It also has a fantastic community and support system that will help keep you accountable and on track.

It is a very inspiring and encouraging community of like-minded people. The team of ship 30 for 30 are here to help and support you on your journey to become a confident writer and so much more. You get to witness how they are growing their business, they are very generous in sharing all their valuable experiences and lessons. They inspire you to stretch your comfort zone, to go public, share your thoughts, engage with a supportive community. You feel more confident in putting yourself out there, you start trusting the process and by remaining consistent you will get more clarity on the things you want to engage and achieve in life.

Ship 30 provides more than a university degree but packed into 30 days - for a fraction of the cost! If you commit the time to learning and applying what you learned, you'll be happy you did! I am going back for a 2nd time in the August cohort.

I joined Ship30For30 because I needed help to take my writing to the next level. I have written for the last three years and have had 150k monthly views on my Medium articles. I saw potential in my writing but also felt stuck. I did not know how to grow further. I wanted to gain writing skills and clarity. From Ship 30For30 I got massive learning such as clarity on topics, headlines, and 1-3-1 formatting. Ship30for30 has changed how I used to write an article. My recent articles are focused and concise. Medium publications are publishing my articles. Today, I completed 60 days of daily writing.

I thought I was going to learn clear writing and thinking, like my brother Nick Gracilla learned from his Cohorts. Ship 30 for 30 absolutely helped accomplish that goal! What I didn't know is that Daily Writing and Publishing would save and change my life: I went from burned out, depressed Long-COVID symptoms Hospital worker, to excited, supported, and progressing Solopreneur! The skills of discipline, focus and time creation I learned from Daily Writing are manifesting in my own LLC's progress! I was so stuck before I departed on the March Cohort. Now, the World is my Oyster again! I'm not a leaf, lost, tossed in the stream, I'm the Captain driving my Ship. The Horizon's the Limit !!! Thanks Dickie & Cole for not just saving my Life, but helping me Thrive!

Ship30 is without doubt the highest value and most inspiring programme I've ever taken. If you've ever thought you'd like to write more on the internet or have struggled to find your voice, hit publish or organise your ideas, Ship30 is for you. I've used learning from Ship30 so much on Twitter and LinkedIn and for driving content for work. I've only really done Ship30 as an 'extra-curricular', but still saw huge improvement in my reach, clarity of thought and expression. Dickie and Cole are absolute powerhouses.

What are the best parts of Ship 30 for 30? The community support and the essays shipped by participant gives and inspiration to move ahead and keep shipping What would you tell someone on the fence about joining? It is one of the best course on writing online What was the most surprising part of Ship 30? Every cohort is better then the last cohort What are your biggest lessons from Ship 30? Daily writing habit results in great success Where were you before Ship 30 for 30, and where are you now? I have posted 416 essays in a row. I feel very good and confident from inside

Ship 30 for 30 is like one of those "how it started" vs "how it's going" memes: How it started: you come in with an expectation of something that'll last a month, will be worth the small investment, and maybe you'll learn a thing or two about how to be consistent, build your digital writing skills, and get some followers on social media. How it's going: you're a year in, you have learned more than you did in your entire post-secondary education, you have made actual, lasting friends who support your growth in whatever area you need it, and you've told everyone you know about the life-changing experience you're having. I expected meh, and I got life-changing. It turns out that the barriers to my success in digital writing are ACTUALLY barriers to success in my LIFE: Consistency. Perfectionism. Communication. Networking. Performance Anxiety. You aren't just taught how to write for digital - which, by the way, you TOTALLY are - you're taught what's getting in your way, and you're given tools to overcome your blockers. Full disclosure: many people have been more "successful" than me. I still haven't hit my 30-day target. But that's not because of Ship30 - it's because I still have things to work on and habits I need to form. I'm 💯 sure that every cohort, lesson, and zoom call will help me develop another compounding habit that will eventually get me there. Each cohort is better than the last. The course evolves and learns from its own mistakes. I can't wait to start again in August, see what's changed, and meet new people.

Ship 30 for 30 helped me find the courage to step into a second career as a writer. I didn't realize it was courage I needed -- I thought I needed permission. Calling myself a writer was step one. Committing to a writing practice was step two. Two steps put me on the path to a new direction. Thanks Cole and Dickie!

I had built a daily writing habit even before I joined for Ship 30 for 30. However, I was inconsistent in shipping. As a result, engagement from my audience was quite low. Ship 30 for 30 changed all that. Not only did my shipping become more consistent, the discipline of writing for an audience improved my thinking as well. As a result, my engagement and followers have increased steadily.

Ship 30 for 30 is amazing! It helped me break through the barrier of being afraid to post something online. Once I started posting something amazing happened, several people reached out and we have become friends. Writing everyday also forced me to go deeper into the topics I love more than ever before. Taking an idea that I have been thinking about for over 6 years and breaking it down into to tweetable chunks was difficult and rewarding. Keep up the good work!! If you are on the fence about joining, I say GO FOR IT!!!

A little over a year ago, I wrote in my on again-off again journal about using "social media to share and create for the future….. Sometimes I feel like that's a silly path." Then came Ship 30 for 30. Now I have a daily write and publish habit using social media. I’m part of the supportive Ship 30 community receiving feedback and using data to drive my writing decisions. I never thought I would get this far with my writing. I would have been happy with just a daily habit. The rest is icing on the cake.

My whole outlook on content production was changed by Ship 30 for 30. You have no idea how quickly you can learn and grow until you've tried it.

Ship30for30 will turn you into a successful digital writer. If you show up and do the work, success will follow. If you’re on the fence, just go for it. There is insane value for the money.

My passion for writing hid in the shadows for most of my life, then I did a Ship 30 cohort. I wrote small essays every day in public and discovered it was possible to put myself out there and my world wouldn't come crashing down around me. I got encouragement and support from the Ship 30 cohort and have loved the community. I'm so confident now that I'm actually starting my writing business I've dreamed about for so many years.

Ship 30 for 30 has the potential to teach you an enormous amount. For me, my simple goal for my first cohort was consistency. And I achieved it. For anyone seeking to do similar, I can't recommend it highly enough. The support of a group of people is like nothing else. I have no doubt as I continue with Ship 30 I will learn more and more as there is SO much in this programme.

Hey there, To start with, I never had a writing skill or habit but I know the importance of writing in personal and professional life. So I joined Ship 30 for 30. I came here to learn how to write but ship doesn't stop there. You make a lot of friends, make a daily habit of writing, overcome fear of posting while doing the same with a lot of cohort members. AND you will also lose any other limiting factors in writing and posting. I always struggled to even write a tweet or caption before joining ship 30 for 30 but I can easily write atomic essay now. If you have been thinking about joining but still doubtful, just jump in for a clear path laid out for your 30 day writing journey and ahead. Say hi on twitter @rraghhu if you see this and joined or for more clarifications before joining!! See you inside 👋

I originally joined Ship 30 for 30 to develop a daily writing habit. It's turned into so much more than that. The wealth of knowledge Dickie and Nick share is unbelievable. They are open, honest, and so giving in sharing what they have learned. If you really want to learn about digital writing, this is the cohort to join.

If you’re interested in writing online, Ship30 is the community for you. The program works in short sprints, teaches you to understand the specific platform you’re writing on and the feedback you’re getting. The best part, is the community is really engaged and supportive!

As someone who has written for others for over 10 years, I wasn't expecting much from Ship30for30 when I signed up in October 2021. I had no idea what new things I could possibly learn at that time. The fact that I wouldn't be alone in this experiment made me want to try it. Whatever we think about it, there's no better way to get a new perspective on your work and learn about yourself at the same time than through the collective. To say the least, I was not disappointed. I learned to detach myself from what I was writing. I learned that trying to sound clever won't lead you anywhere. I learned that publishing your thoughts into the world was, in the end, not so scary. In many ways, this experience changed my life and humbled me. I will lie if I'm saying that being a good writer is easy. But here's the thing: it shouldn't have to be complicated. If you're serious about it, Dickie and Cole will give you all the tools you need to start your online writing journey in the easiest way possible. If you trust yourself enough to go out of your comfort zone, write about what drives you, and help your fellow shipmates, you will get out with much more than you expected.

Ship 30 for 30 is a necessary, ongoing component for testing ideas. Without Ship 30, I would be building courses into an abyss -- hoping they resonate. Now I get to follow the data in a group environment, and gain new perspectives via the Captain's Table

The best part of ship 30 for 30 is the motivation is gives you to keep writing every day. This in addition to all of the great pieces you learn to help you build solid skills that create a foundation for your writing future

Many writers struggle with imposter syndrome – “what if they find out I’m a fake or I’m no good?” Ship 30 helps alleviate this by forcing you to put yourself out there. Every day. You discover that no one is judging you as harshly as you’re judging yourself. Also, you realize that more people will be impacted and inspired by what you write than will criticize it. By announcing my intentions to the world, I kept myself accountable. Ship 30 teaches online writing, not creative writing. I learned I don’t need to impress anyone with my florid prose. What’s most important is communicating ideas efficiently. Gone were the long, flowery prose sentences I used to write. Instead, I wrote short, terse sentences delivering information in an easily digestible format. Bruce Springsteen once sang, “We learned more from a three-minute record than we ever learned at school.” Well, I learned more from a 30-day writing course than I ever learned in English class.

Loved #Ship30 The best part of this course is how easy it is laid out. Step by step walls you through the entire process of becoming a digital writer. Notice I said “becoming”, not learning. At the end of the course you will BECOME a digital writer - IF you follow through. The most surprising part for me was how easy and accessible the entire course was. Biggest takeaway for me would be to put one step in front of the other. When you’re starting, think of yourself as a baby. The steps don’t have to be perfect. As long as they are there you will get better. Consistency is the only thing that matters. Leave all judgement at the door.

Ship 30 for 30 will 100% help you start writing online. They give you education, momentum and social support. It's the perfect formula. You just need to: • Follow the formula • Be consistent in writing • Engage with your peers Magic will happen.

Ship 30 for 30 came just at the right time for me when I needed to process the transition towards content creator. I thought I could write well. Then Dickie and Cole came along and showed me all the different things I needed to pay attention to. They showed me the non-obvious stuff: • how I was too generic as a coach and needed to become super specific. • how I could write every day for weeks on end without running out of ideas • how I could invest a short amount of time everyday to actually write (instead of sitting at my desk all day long). I have now found my topic and have started writing my book, all thanks to 30 days with ship 30.

Ship 30 is—without any doubt—has been the best writing course to help me grow in my ... • Clarity • Confidence • Consistency ... as a digital writer. The most surprising part of Ship 30 was the depth of content that was given, which allowed me to see my writing improve as soon as I implemented what we learned. If you are on the fence about joining, just know, that I get it. I have paid for courses in the past that did not deliver on their promise. But Ship 30 over-delivers and will change everything about your writing journey.

Ship 30 for 30 gave me the accountability to finally write about what matters. For years I had been *thinking* about publishing online and four times I started a blog. But it wasn't until the tools and structure of Ship 30 that I felt empowered to not just start, but keep going.

Before joining Ship30 for 30, I was among the 99% of social media lurkers (I mean users). I didn't have the confidence to share my knowledge on the internet. After this course, I had a roadmap for creating content, like-minded community, and people now know that I'm a communication specialist.

Writing is a forcing function for learning. In writing to communicate ideas, ideas need clarity. Writing delivers on that. Writing consistently delivers more. Ship30 offers an effective framework with excellent didactics and accountability frameworks that help building a writing habit. And it clarifies what digital writing can mean and how we can co-shape the social media as enlightened citizens of the internet.

Joining Ship 30 for 30 was one the best decisions I made during midyear 2021. I've been a writer all of my life (mainly fanfiction) and I wanted to get back into writing. While looking at my Twitter outline one day, I noticed all of #Ship30for30 hashtag which made me curious. Little did I know it would open up a whole new world of content for me to consume. After lurking for a few weeks, I took the plunge and enrolled in my first cohort. And the rest is history. I've completed 5 cohorts. For the past 2 I was an Alumni Captain. Ship 30 has changed the way I write and how I consume content. Ship 30 is also more than writing for me. I've made a new friend with each cohort and I learn from so many others, too. To bring it all back, Ship 30 helped me take the leap to start writing, consistently. I come back because I enjoy the writing challenge. I come back because of the friends I make online. I come back for the community.

Ship 30 for 30 was the first cohort I ever joined. I could have not made a better choice. It helped me turn my academic writing skills into writing for broader audiences, develop a writing habit, and engage with other creators to help me find my niche. The community around Ship 30 for 30 is fantastical, you feel the supportive energy from day 1. The live sessions are full of practical advice.

Ship 30 for 30 taught me so much - although I wrote before, it was sporadic and with little strategy, thought, or intention. Since going through Ship 30, I gained new writing skills, and more importantly, think about my writing strategically as pat of a larger overall Digital Lean Writing creator presence

Ship 30 throws your perceptions about online writing upside down. It challenges some of the most common assumptions about successful writing, and how to grow an audience. This is an amazing course for anyone interested in building a habit of writing, and connecting with other like-minded people.

Ship 30 for 30 is so well organised that it makes getting involved a pleasure. They seem to have thought of everything that can help and encourage you. And also of all the pitfalls and how to deal with them. Join, and you won’t regret it. It will help you to clarify your ideas and get you moving forward with your dreams.

I recommended Ship 30 for 30 to my mom. Dickie, Cole and the whole team overdelivered on everything. At first, I was a little suspicious by all the positive reviews, but it turned out to be for good reason. Super excited to take part in future cohorts!

Before joining Ship 30 for 30, I enjoyed writing regularly—but I was mostly writing for myself. I rarely shared my ideas for two reasons. First, I wasn't sure how, when, or where to publish. Ship 30 provided tools, guidelines, and coaching within a supportive community—so I felt more comfortable turning my ideas into tweets, posts, and published essays. Second, my pre-Ship 30 essays often felt long. Points were getting lost even after editing. The atomic essay structure helped me stay on track and articulate one clear idea for digital readers. Looking back, I realize that Ship 30 not only helped me simplify my writing process—but also helped me identify when to stop writing for the day and hit publish!

Ship30 provides a fantastic community and an evolving and constantly growing resource for writing. I rediscovered my love for writing, the process, and whenever I was stuck, I had a community to help. If you're wondering if it's a good choice, reach out to Dickie or Cole (or any other #ship30 community member). It's full of supportive and impressive folks.

I love Ship 30! For years I've been meaning to build a daily writing and publishing habit, but could never persuade myself to hit "Publish". Ship 30 changed all of that! The group atmosphere is amazing and the accountability is fantastic. Meeting so many different writers has been excellent, too. Highly recommended!

Ship 30 for 30 is a unique experience. It doesn't matter your native language to write like a professional online writer; with the different frameworks, tools, and community, you will succeed in your writing journey. It is one of the best course experiences on the internet.

My first cohort was March '22. It was one of the best professional decisions I made as an entrepreneur. It wasn't easy for me to make the jump because I'm not one to make impulsive decisions. But I couldn't ignore my intuition. Ship 30 for 30 taught me how to overcome dreaded perfectionism and the fear of judgment. For instance, I've published more articles, Tweets, and LinkedIn posts during those 30 days than I could ever attempt in 1 year. The community of writers, support from the Ship 30 for 30 team, leadership and guidance from Dickie and Cole, and opportunities due to the staggering reputation of the program opened doors for me. Most importantly, the team is dedicated to iterating, improving, and keeping their promise to help you reach your digital writing goals - take this from someone who rarely write reviews. What has come of this? So far (this is just the beginning), I've acquired a ghostwriting opportunity and now working on a potential freelance position as content creation and social media manager all while operating my other businesses in tourism and photography. I believe in the work I've accomplished with the help of Ship 30 for 30 that I've volunteered my time to pay it forward as an Alumni Captain for the April '22 cohort and will continue to do this for future cohorts. I hope to see some of you in the program!

I came to Ship 30 for 30 as a way to jump into the deep end and break a long habit of gathering information to share “someday. I used my voice in my own community but it was always polished and complete before I shared it in public. That is very different from the Ship 30 for 30 approach. It’s embarrassing to share this. I’ve been on Twitter since November 2007 and mostly just retweeted what someone else posted. It sounds foolish to say this but it never dawned on me that posts were invitations to dialog with others. Well, that thinking is over now and the whole world is at my fingertips. The community connections in Ship 30 for 30 are goldmines of support, resources, and inspiration. In the process of pondering my niche audience I found myself resisting narrowing my potential audience and resisting making noise - being provocative or controversial enough for people to not scroll past or click on it. Several in the community supported me working through that blockage to a new level of personal freedom in writing. The practical examples in writing accompanying the conceptual teachings were so helpful. They translated the concepts and made the process of learning so much more effective. Absolutely, the best online course curriculum I’ve ever experienced - and I’ve taken several. The value you’ll receive far exceeds your trade of money and time. Jump in. Don’t hesitate even if feel you are “too old!” Who knew: “Old guys can learn new tricks!”

The Ship 30 program has changed everything for me. Firstly, each lesson provided useful and actionable advice when it comes to writing online. The material is delivered in an easy to digest way and leaves you motivated to give the new concept a try. Secondly, there is a strong bias to action. It's not about endlessly looking for the perfect topic. It's about editing, editing and more editing. It's about publishing, gathering intel, analysing and repeating! Finally, this will help all of your online writing in my opinion. Emails, slack messages, conference proposals, documenting work processes, all of my work has improved as a result of taking part in Ship 30! My advice would be: stop reading this testimonial and get sign up for the next cohort immediately!

I dabbled with online writing before Ship 30 for 30, but learned so much (and continue to learn) from this community. You're handed the frameworks to writing and you're part of a committed group. You get to stay in the content, have accountability, and be part of an amazing group while building your audience online with a proven roadmap for learning and executing. I'll see you on the inside!

Ship 30 for 30 has been a multifaceted experience -one I highly recommend. In the course you will find a supportive community with varying levels of knowledge, and lead by two excellent teachers of digital writing who share as much about how they monetize as about learning. It is a transparent environment that adds trust and credibility. I started with 0 online writing. I would have stayed that way if not for joining this course. If you are considering joining - don't wait! If there are life factors effecting your joining, don't hesitate to reach out to Dickie or Cole and the Crew of Ship 30 for 30. The most surprising part of the course is how quickly it goes by. It seems like it has been less than a week and we are nearly at the end of the 30 days. My biggest lessons are: Post everyday, build a library of content, engage with others, and continuously improve using data. Before Ship 30 for 30 I was afraid to post online and share my thoughts. Now, that fear is gone and replaced with a desire to see what the internet has to offer to someone who is a creator instead of a consumer.

I've been writing on behalf of different companies for my entire career, but wanted an opportunity to share my own ideas and expertise. When I found Ship 30, I knew this was the place. In just a month, I developed the skills to ideate new ideas consistently and, crucially, to get them written and published. This is a supportive community you'll love to be a part of, and better yet you can turn your ideas into a product that benefits others in your shoes.

Before I took Ship 30 for 30, I was burned out, frustrated, and not sure how I was going to go after my writing vision. One month later, everything is different! I didn't just learn "about" writing, I wrote -- and built a new foundation for my writing career. And, best of all, I've made some amazing friends along the way. If you are on the fence about Ship 30, SAY YES. And get ready for the writing magic to happen.

ship 30 was a game changer for me. I wanted to establish a new healthy habit and learn a new skill . The live calls were great for continuously improving my writing skill and the internal community really helped with keeping myself accountable.

I came in wanting to get better at writing. I'm coming out of this with a passion to pursue something I didn't know I wanted until Ship 30. The process is motivating, the community is engaging and supportive, and the content is top notch. Best decision I've made in 2022!

Ship 30 for 30 is one of the best course experiences on the internet. From onboarding, to gamification, to community facilitation and reinforcement, to stellar content on digital writing, everything is state of the art. The course content is solid, built from experience, and leans heavily towards action, not just theory. To establish a consistent digital writing habit, you can't find a better option. Kudos to Dickie and Cole.

I love writing. I have been writing regularly for many years now, but published only sporadically. By joining Ship30for30 I wanted to change this and publish regularly. The program gave me a lot of helpful tools to come up with ideas, edit my pieces and find an audience. And the best thing is the community you build with fellow writers. Altogether, Ship30for30 is a wonderful experience and really took my entire writing process onto the next level.

I joined Ship 30 for 30 after following Dickie and Cole for the past year. The wealth of information they provided free was mind blowing and once I started the course, I couldn't get enough. Not only does this program help you focus your message, but it helps you discover your message. I was challenged to think outside the box and yet hone in on what and who I was writing about. I didn't just learn about writing; I learned about me.

If you've been waiting to start writing -- for the right inspiration to hit, for more time to appear in your day, for the perfect journal -- Ship30for30 is for you. Why? Because Dickie & Cole blow through all those excuses and get you writing, every day. And guess what? The inspiration flows, the time arrives, and the journal becomes irrelevant. So, what are you waiting for?

The best part of Ship 30 was the feeling of being supported to write consistently. The idea is so simple to ship 30 essays in 30 days but at the start it felt very daunting. I was feeling unsure when I started ship 30. Worried about what it would be like and if I would even be able to ship 30 essays. But once I started and joined the live sessions, took part in the breakout rooms it got a lot easier. I was more relaxed and feeling comfortable to write. If you are thinking about making writing a habit then ship 30 is for you. As Dickie and Cole give you the tools to make writing a habit and the community is very supportive. Thanks :D
