Hey there,

The name’s Mikey Berry. But my friends just call me… Mikey.

Who am I, you ask?

Just a guy who helps writers monetize their words with Narrative Psychology reverse-engineered from the world’s top copywriting agencies.

But before I talk too much about me…

Let’s talk about YOU.

Yes, you!

Let me guess. You enjoy writing, BUT:

  • You don’t have enough time to write
  • You don’t have enough confidence to write
  • You don’t know how to monetize what you write

Am I “write” about that?

(Please tell me I’m right – otherwise I just sounded REALLY stupid with that pun.)

If I’m totally wrong and that does NOT describe you… then why are you still hanging around?

Exit’s over there. I’ll wait.

Oho, still here? Excellent. That must mean you are my target audience!

Someone who’s tried it all… but just can’t seem to “break in.”

Someone whose posts get sucked into the void… whose platform payouts can’t scratch the $10 minimum… and who ends up doomscrolling job postings they’ll never actually apply for.

(Painful, I know. I’ve been there.)

All of it leaves you asking…

Why?

Why does it seem like writing is just hitting your head against a brick wall?

Why can’t you get any traction?

Simply put…

Because you’re limiting your own potential.

Listen. Writers are the most powerful force on earth.

Our words move millions of dollars and cast mass-suggestion spells over ordinary people.

Who wrote the history books? Math books? ANY book? Yeah, WRITERS. (We basically rule the world.)

The thing is…

Writers are also the nicest, most introverted, caffeine-addicted strain of humans alive!

So the idea of weaponizing our words into stories that *gasp* sell stuff?

It feels wrong.

It feels disingenuous.

Most of us would rather just keep our heads down and craft prose and poetry.

But…

What if I told you that is exactly what makes you an effective salesperson?

And I don’t mean that in the ‘slimy’ kind of way.

I mean that in the “you can actually use this talent to make money WITHOUT sacrificing your principles” kind of way.

See, having worked with several copywriting agencies over the past 5 years, I’ve learned a thing or two about us writers…

The same mistakes we tend to make

The crooked mindsets that hold us back from our true potential…

The little things we do that sabotage our own efforts without us even realizing it…

(Believe me, I am STILL working on these things myself.)

At the same time, I also realized writers have trained themselves their entire lives to become marketing masters.

  • Those fictional worlds? Imaginative scaffolding that brands pay big bucks for.
  • Character archetypes? Literally what CEOs will hire you to whip up in a pitch deck.
  • Literary frameworks? The very bones of your own success story.

Basically, what I want to say is…

You have so much freaking potential.

If you write — at all, for ANY reason — you are sitting on a potential treasure trove of talent.

And the only thing you need to unlock that treasure is…

No, not “the right AI prompts” (robots will never replace authentic, human storytelling)…

No, not some mystical, psuedoscientific method (or expensive course)…

But rather…

(Wait for it.)

(Gotta build anticipation.)

(The payoff is worth it. Trust me.)

Narrative Psychology.

That’s what I teach.

Because, after years of seeing good writers get burnt out, worn out, and flat-out exploited by the same, pesky mistakes…

I cracked the code.

And from that code, I built a framework. Weaponized the good, the bad, and especially the ugly, into an actionable strategy to get (and keep) writing jobs that actually pay.

(Yes, even if you have no experience writing professionally.)

I have other client payouts, but these guys are the biggest. You’ll find out why I censored their name in just a minute…

Look, I get that’s not a huge amount…

But six years ago? I never would have imagined I could make THAT kind of money just typing words into a laptop.

It wasn’t until I got married and moved to Japan that I NEEDED to figure this stuff out.

My back was to the wall.

I was unemployed… with no skills … staring at a bank account edging ever closer to zero… all with my new wife depending on me!

And while I could go teach English again, honestly, I would sooner break my own legs.

(Hi, yes, that’s my introverted side speaking.)

So I did something that sounds ridiculous in hindsight…

I rewrote my personality.

I built a character in my mind… and played him. Played him like a Dungeons & Dragons character.

(Mikey is a nickname, not my real name. Plot twist!)

And, incredibly enough…

It worked like a fluffin’ charm!

In just a little over 6 months, I rocketed to the Top Rated category on Upwork (that’s the top 10% of ALL talent on the platform, by the way.)

My new “character” worked with financial advisors, hospital CEOs, best-selling authors, cryptocurrency moguls, and more.

(Talk about a high Charisma stat. 😏)

Thanks to Mikey, I started freelancing at a top copywriting agency. Soon enough, I was writing for world-famous brands like:

  • Breville
  • Sage
  • BMW
  • Tesla*
  • 3M 
  • Business Forward
  • Host Healthcare

*(back when they were cool, don’t hate me pls.)

Eventually, I branched out to more agencies, clients, and writing platforms.

And like King Midas of old… Whatever I touched turned to gold. 😎

^ This is my first month writing on Medium. You can see the little ‘bump’ where I wrote a free test piece. My second article (July 10th) is where things really took off.

And just a few months later, every article I push out generates engagement spikes like this. Clearly, that’s more than coincidence.

Still… the more I grew, the more I realized something…

The game is rigged against new writers.

Sure, you could say I ‘won’ out of desperation—but for the average person trying to break in?

  • AI sweeps the floor of entry-level writing work.
  • Influencers preach plastic courses at every corner.
  • Exclusive agencies hoard the lion’s share of clients.
  • Dude-bro gurus dilute the market with crud content.

No wonder it feels impossible to get a foothold.

So… I entered my next arc…

My villain arc. 😈

I realized that these monolithic, gatekeeping jerks were “the very evil I swore to destroy”… er, well, antithetical to my beliefs, at least.

But instead of just dropping out and taking my clients with me, I had an epiphany…

What if I became the man on the inside?

What if I could democratize the knowledge hoarded by the top 1% of writers, drunk off the teets of the global elite?

What if I could share the closely-guarded (but stupidly simple to execute) secrets that these agencies use to monopolize good clients?

So that’s what I did.

I went rogue—claiming every secret I could for myself.

(And actually… I still am. I plan to play the double agent for as long as possible. Which, uh, may not be much longer now that I wrote this entire page and gave away my secret. Here’s hoping they never Google me. 😅)

Now…

I don’t know where YOU are at in your writing career…

You’re probably not a double agent writer-spy taking refuge in Japan as you plot the Agency’s downfall.

But you DO have a story.

And you CAN use that story to transform your life for the better…

All with writing.

That’s what I teach.

No, I’m not a guru selling success in a bottle. Nor am I guaranteeing results.

What I can guarantee is that I am pretty dang good at this—just listen to some feedback from an early version of my “LinkedIn Writing” crash course:

Can you imagine writing literal money-making material that gets people to respond like THAT?

Or, let me be more clear…

Can you imagine writing stuff that people pay their hard-earned cash for… and then thank you for it??

(Heck, *I* still barely believe it, and I’ve been doing it for years!)

That’s the power of Narrative Psychology.

And that’s a power you can command at will; the ability to transmute words into cash.

How does it work?

… Well, if I told you that, how could I sell you my stuff? 😜

(JUST KIDDING. I mean, yes, I will try to sell you stuff. That’s literally a copywriter’s job. But don’t you worry — I also drop plenty of gems for free.)

If you really want to know the Narrative Psychology secrets those big agencies use to rake in cash on command

That’s exactly what I share in my FREE newsletter.

Consider it a low-pressure space full of 700+ fellow writers already weaponizing their words to sell.

Right now, you’re inches away from joining ’em.

But there’s a catch.

All my emails are 100% live. So besides one or two pre-written welcome emails, everything you get happens in real-time.

And… I don’t save or post them. Anywhere.

That means every email you miss is a lost gem — potentially a life-changing one.

I could be writing an email RIGHT NOW with the exact insight you need to go from just another voice posting endlessly into the void

… to a truly successful writer capable of sustaining themselves off writing alone.

And you’re about to miss it.
