Join +1,338 students in Learn to Write, an online course that teaches you how to write content that reaches more people than businesses with an army of marketers.
“This writing course has been by far the best investment I have made for my business. It’s one of the most informative and in depth courses that I’ve taken on content marketing – and I’ve spent probably close to $10,000 on the subject.”
“It’s hard to get eyeballs on your content. It’s even harder to make your ideas stick. Ali and his team constantly impress me with their ability to tell stories that spread and to convey powerful messages that resonate with your audience.”
“This course changed my life — it is the perfect starting point to make a real difference in the way you use writing to build your business. Packed with hands-on strategies, it taught me how to craft content that stands out. As Ali highlights throughout the course, to write is to think, to write well is to think well!”
“Ali has a way of finding just the right balance of content that’s actionable, shareable and resonate well with any audience.”
“Ali has taken the process of planning and executing a successful writing program and made it easy for busy teams like ours to immediately improve our business. His unique program will walk you through what matters and when, so you can build and execute a plan that is tailored to your audience in ways you never thought imaginable!”
INSTRUCTOR’S NOTE — WHY I MADE THIS COURSE
Welcome to my life’s work
11.3 million.
That’s the number of views the “content” we created for our clients got over the last nine months.
People want me to talk about growth hacks or loopholes we found with Facebook ads. But our formula comes down to one thing we believe does a healthier job of capturing what we do: storytelling.
- Another one of our @GrowthSupply clients is approaching 1M in almost 6 months.
- Our secret? Drop the growth hacking bullshit. Focus on storytelling.
- Try telling honest, authentic stories and play the long game.
- Those who tell – and live – the best stories will rule the future. pic.twitter.com/w1kqSU8K2r

The words you put out in the wild have the power to move the masses. Getting people to read your blog post, homepage copy, or newsletter gives you a few priceless minutes to make an in-depth, intellectual connection with anyone, anywhere in the world.
Growth begins with words. Stories, they move people.
And moving people is magical for building your thing on your own terms, without worrying about competition.
The reason is simple:
- People don’t desire products. They desire feelings that products give them.
And storytelling is an incredible tool that acknowledges such distinction, a tool so few people are capable of using or understand the true potential of.
Writing is the most radical thing you can do without spending any money.
I first realized the power of storytelling back in 2014. From my little desk in my little room from the middle of nowhere, I was publishing stories that generated more traffic than by those companies with an army of writers.
It was true. Writing was the most radical thing you could do without spending any money. My stories were traveling the world while I slept, searching for opportunities on my behalf.
- “If you can’t code, write books and blogs, record videos and podcasts. Media travels and earns while you sleep. It searches the world for opportunities for you.”
