Life is like a book, filled with diverse chapters with different characters but one main character, YOU.

I realised this fact a little too late but earlier than others. This book called “Life” Will Test You and your ability to remain tenacious while giving you the chance to take challenges. Well, this is my story!

The Story Unfolding

On the second month of the year, 2025, I received a call around my wake time asking if I could help out with a task.

A task at 7:45 am? ( I had barely slept for 4 hours so it was annoyingly too early to rise and shine)

I wondered why I had received that urgent request at such dangerously early hours, as requests should normally.

Now you’re wondering what this request was all about, yeah.

Well, a friend had taken up a DeFi writing task that he couldn’t handle at the moment, so I was called to rise to the occasion.

Being a knowledgable writer and DeFi content creator, I took it up and reached out to the individual who needed the task completed. There was just one slight issue: I was to write in a stealth form & on a project I had never heard of.

Within 30 minutes, I was given the brief and necessary details like website, blog, and whitepaper with a one-hour timeframe to scan through these details and proceed with the write-up

How exactly would this have been humanly possible?

The Delivery

Not just that, the new article of 600-700 words was to be delivered within 3 hours. I began to laugh in Greek as this was about to be an obvious wild ride.

Guess what?

The worst did not happen, instead, I completed the task within the required timeframe and was set to get some rest after that mental marathon.

Can I ask you something? Well, who’s stopping me?

As a writer, that outcome is good enough, right? Yes, but it didn’t end there.

I was asked to take up the role of writing articles for the firm, and I negotiated a payment scheme afterwards.

This was how I bagged my first GHOSTWRITING Deal.

Take-home points

If you followed this story closely, here are two things you ought to have picked up:

→ The power of recommendations and

→ The essence of being good at what you do.
It is paramount to always tell people what you do because anyone can be the link to your next job opportunity.

All I needed to say was: Hey Q, I’m a content writer who is knowledgable in Defi, and that landed me a paid gig months later.

Secondly, never carry a tag and fail at doing what you should be able to do as the tag-bearer.

For instance, as a writer, you should be good at the task you’re given. Master your niche like you’re reciting the letters of the alphabet. I can only imagine how embarrassing it would’ve been if I had flopped.

Bear in mind that no one can attain perfection, but all you need is the willingness to learn with a sprinkle of action-taking.

Take action today, champs!

If you read till the end, you’re a gem.

See you on tomorrow’s episode.
