Grab your coffee. Let's talk. In less than 60 minutes, we're meeting for our weekly coffee hour in the 40 and Unemployed community. One hour. No agenda. Just real conversation about what you're going through. Job search struggles. Age discrimination. Freelancing. Building something on your own terms. Whatever's on your mind. This is your space to vent, share wins, ask questions, and connect with people who get it. See you in the room. By the way— If you're trying to build income on Medium and tired of making pennies, I just launched Medium Mastery. 11 modules teaching exactly how I went from $300/month to $4,500/month in 90 days. Weekly live coaching. Real community. No guru bullshit. First 300 members: $5/month locked in foreverAfter that: $14.99/month 👉 https://www.skool.com/medium-mastery-1766/about Not required. Just letting you know it's there if you're ready to stop writing for your ego and start writing for income. See you in an hour. —Jason

@Jason Weiland How will you be rolling out the class for people to sign up? Will it be everyone at once or will you roll it out to people here before the class idea and then to those after? I am not even sure you can do that.

Here is an interesting situation, I wrote an Investment Summary of 10 pages after significant manual research. I have trained 2 LLMs to write in a specific style, which then helps me with proper grammar, word selection and layout. It got rejected today since it looks bot generated? Not sure what to think about this??

Hey everyone, Big things happening this weekend and I wanted to make sure you're all in the loop. The Medium Course Is Almost Ready I'm locking myself in the house this weekend to finish the content for the Medium course I've been working on. Here's what it's going to look like: - Weekly brainstorming and coaching sessions. Very loose format. 3 or 4 hours, however long it takes to make sure everyone gets their questions answered. This isn't going to be me talking at you for an hour. It's going to be real conversations about what's working, what's not, and how to fix it. - The course itself will cover everything. I'm not assuming you need help signing up for Medium. I'm assuming you know some of the platform but need help with the details. The stuff that actually makes the difference between writing into the void and making a few thousand dollars a month. - We'll talk about settings, strategies, content that works, content that doesn't. Why you don't need a niche. How to think about publications. All of it. I'm using Skool as the platform. Same setup as this group. Threads on the home page where you can ask questions anytime. Simple. Straightforward. No fancy bells and whistles you don't need. I've taken a million of these courses over the years. I know what I hate about them and what I love. So I'm building this the way I wish other courses were built. What Should I Call It? I was going to call it: "The Medium Secrets That 'THEY' Are Afraid to Tell You" But honestly, there are no secrets. We're just going to talk about the details. The things that matter. The stuff that actually moves the needle. So maybe that's not the right name. What do you think? Drop suggestions in the comments. Coffee Hour This Sunday - 9 AM Mountain Time I'll be giving more details about the course on Sunday at 9 AM Mountain Time during our weekly coffee hour. One hour of conversation. Questions. Updates. Whatever's on your mind. If you want to know more about the Medium course before it launches, this is where you'll hear it first.

Hey everyone, Still working on Medium Mastery. It's a lot of work. More than I thought it would be honestly. But it's going to be worth it. You're getting the full course on making money on Medium, weekly check-ins where we can go deep on your work, community threads so you can help each other, and access to any future courses I build. The first 300 people who join get it for $5 a month or $48 a year for life. After that it goes up to $14.99 a month or $130 a year. I'm getting there. Promise. @John Sherratt brought up something important in the threads this week. While rants are great and sometimes you just need to get it out, let's also be looking for solutions for each other. Be proactive. Be helpful. If someone's struggling with something you've figured out, jump in. Share what worked. That's what makes this community different. But if you just need to rant? Do it. We get it. Sometimes you just need people to hear you. Remember you can talk about more than just job searching here. I was a finance writer for Quicken for a year so if you want to talk about finances, family savings, budgeting, whatever - I'm here for it. I just created more categories for you to tag your posts with. If you think of any we're missing, let me know and I'll add them. Coffee hour is this Sunday, January 25th from 1-2 PM MST. Last week we had five people and it was great. Real conversations. Real connection. Let's see if we can beat that this week. No agenda. No presentation. Just us talking about whatever's on our minds. Join us if you can. Also, there's a new LinkedIn course in the classroom. I was going to make that paid but honestly I want you guys to have access to as many free resources as possible. So it's yours. Use it. Let me know if it helps. Welcome to all the new people who joined this week. Glad you're here. Jump into the conversations. Share your stories. Ask questions. We're all figuring this out together. Jason
