Some creators seem to come from nowhere.

Eve is one of those.

In recent weeks, her tweets have blown up, gaining thousands of impressions and comments:

The reality is this is no overnight success.

Eve has been writing online for two and a half years. She started on Medium and has recently added Twitter to her toolbelt.

Perhaps most impressive, Eve has written 800K+ words online whilst working a 9–5 day job.

She recently shared her routine:

On the back of her success, Eve released a course: 0–1000 on Twitter.

In an hour and a half of content, she breaks her Twitter success into actionable steps, and there’s lots of juicy stuff.

I won’t go into that here, though. That wouldn’t be fair on Eve.

What I do want to pick out is how she has made and sold her course to aspiring content creators.

It’s a textbook example of how to make a no-thrills online product for free that actually sells.

Let’s go!

Step #1: Be hyper-focused on what you want to teach

Eve’s course teaches full-time workers how to go from zero to 1000 followers on Twitter.

And with her methods, she shares a proven blueprint.

That’s it.

It reminds me of how Justin Welsh has made over $1.28 million from online courses.
