Write the content once that calls in ideal clients for years to come.
6-weeks to get it done: 3rd Nov - 12th December 2025
Spaces limited.
Build authority. Grow your business.
Authority is the biggest differentiator in today’s market.
It’s what lets independent founders, coaches and consultants step out of the time-for-money trap, command higher fees, and attract clients who want them for how they think, not just what they do.
But here’s the gap: most people never move beyond surface-level content. They blend into the noise. And that is where Long-form Writing comes in.
It’s the level up that signals real Authority—proof that you know your stuff, that your perspectives are worth paying for, and that you take your work seriously. The kind of signal that draws in Ideal Clients and makes them willing to pay top rates.
Here’s How You’ll Do This Work (in just six weeks)
DEFINE YOUR ONE BIG IDEA
Authority is built by sharing your beliefs about your work widely. Here, you’ll define your One Big Idea. Think the centre of gravity that all your work revolves around. Growth and momentum becomes so much easier with this in place. You’ll focus on this in weeks 0-2.
WRITE YOUR HERO PIECE
You’ll write a killer piece of content that showcases your One Big Idea, your Authority and what you really stand for. It is like a sales letter that educates and persuades Ideal Clients that you’re for them, but isn’t salesy! A Hero Piece works on your behalf for months if not years to come.
You’ll write this in weeks 2-5 with lots of help from Ellen.
HAVE YOUR WORDS READ
Once you’re done, you’ll distribute your piece widely. Whether its in direct emails, blogs, newsletters or all of the above, you’ll be supported to get it out in the world and have advice about doing this for maximum effect (for LLMs, search and your network to find it).
You’ll do this in the final week.
Why Long Form Content?
Take it from me: I’ve sustained a six-figure coaching practice for the last three years with almost no reliance on social media.
Where did my clients find me? My writing online.
“The pieces that have consistently brought in multiple inbound leads each month — from strangers across the world have all been long-form content (2,000+ words).”
I’ve been a business owner since 2020 and in that time I have never…
Gone viral
Had more than 1k followers on Instagram
Used paid ads
Sent cold DMs or outbound emails for clients
But I’ve been fully booked.
That’s all thanks to writing consistently, and getting really good at writing Long Form Content that acts like a sales letter to my Ideal Clients. It’s time I unveilled exactly how it’s done.
Why Long-Form Content Builds Authority & Grows your Business
Demonstrates your expertise without you in the room
Acts like a sales letter to your ideal client — inviting them in, making them feel seen and understood
Works on your behalf while you sleep — attracting clients for months (even years) who can binge your ideas when you’re not in the room
Outlives the algorithm, with SEO continuing to deliver traffic and leads long after publishing
Doesn’t require fancy tools tech or equipment to be executed professionally
Sharpens your own thinking and beliefs, which makes you stronger in both sales and delivery, which in return boosts your business
All of this is possible — if you actually write, and if you write the right things.
What stops entrepreneurs doing Long-Form content effectively?
WHAT TO WRITE
Knowing which ideas are impactful enough to warrant your precious time
HOW TO WRITE
Overthinking the best structure, voice, format and how much to reveal for free.
WHEN TO WRITE
It’s “important but not urgent,” and… “one day” isn’t a day on the calendar
Why Write a Hero Piece?
Your hero piece is what sets you apart from every other coach, consultant, and service provider in your space.
It's not your credentials or accolades. It's how you see the world.
Your contrarian ideas. Your unique approach, backed by real theory, data, and case studies.
We focus on nailing your Hero Piece inside Authority Letters because it is the one piece of content that's so valuable people bookmark it, share it, and keep coming back to it. The kind that attracts new clients for months (even years) without you having to sell.
This is especially powerful when what you do in your business is a bit unique or requires more explanation. People don't always catch the nuance of your elevator pitch. But when you get their full attention with your Hero Piece? They get it. And suddenly you become their go-to expert and get the enquiries flooding in.
Different businesses need different types of Hero Pieces. Inside Authority Letters, you'll see examples and get directed to the most impactful approach for your specific business and situation.

No - Authority Letters focuses on your Hero Piece of content. But we have support for that inside Authority Club or 1-1 sessions, if you decide to stay for more support after we can help out with that.

If you have some business/client experience to write about and the intention to sell to clients, yes, you’re very welcome.

Your Hero Piece is not designed to sell a very specific service, it is not a sales page. You are very likely to gain a lot of clarity about your services as a result of the thinking, writing and sharing your Hero Piece and so my belief is that this is a great way to gain clarity!
