Ahoy, Digital Writers!

From 2017 to 2020, I built and ran a multimillion-dollar ghostwriting agency, called Digital Press.

Ghostwriting taught me so much about the craft of writing, and improved my skills in ways I’m not sure I could have achieved had I not spent thousands of hours practicing with other people’s voices. Which is why I love writing about ghostwriting, and helping other writers enter the world of Premium Ghostwriting today.

For years, I thought I needed to “find my voice” as a writer.

And what ghostwriting taught me is that you don’t “find” your voice—you create it.

Most writers spend their entire lives trying to “find” their voice.

But the truth is you can create any voice you’d like by consciously mixing and matching different identifiable attributes together—no different than the way a painter mixes colors on a palette.

• Word choice

• Structure and format

• Cadence and rhythm

• Even the decision to use (or not use) data to back up an opinion.

A voice is just a combination of identifiable attributes.

So, today we are going to walk you through a framework for using ChatGPT as your own “voice creator.”

It was not uncommon for me to write in four or five different voices in a single day a ghostwriter.

Surprisingly, what I learned after writing for hundreds of different personalities, from egocentric tech founders to female gynecologists, is there are really only five types of “voices.” And in my upcoming book “The Art & Business of Ghostwriting” I included an entire section covering each of them in detail. The reality is, these voices are not just applicable for ghostwriting. They are applicable for your own writing too.

Let me introduce you to the 5 Archetypes of Writing Voices.

99% of writing can be reverse-engineered into 5 different voice archetypes.

Everyone thinks their voice is a one-of-a-kind.

The truth is the vast majority of voices fall into one of 5 buckets. And that’s ok. Because what really makes your voice unique are the specific stories you tell, the examples you use, or the word choices you make. But chances are your writing aligns with one or more of the 5 archetypes.

Let’s take a look at each one.

Archetype #1: The Storyteller

The Storyteller loves dates, times, locations, real-life examples of what they’ve learned. Storytellers use the phrases like “In 1999…,” “The first time I…, ”“A few years ago…,” etc.

Archetype #2: The Opinionater

The Opinionator is someone who **emphasizes a strong opinion on a topic. The overarching theme here is conviction: “There’s a reason why…,” “It’s unbelievable how…,” “It’s abundantly clear that…,” etc.

Archetype #3: The Fact Presenter

The Fact Presenter backs up their opinion with a memorable stat or research-backed story-study. You know you are a Fact Presenter if you love backing up your writing with stats, studies, research, surveys, etc

Archetype #4: The Frameworker

The Frameworker gives the reader something actionable they can go and execute on to achieve a similar outcome. The help readers move from point A to point B with organized ideas: “A Proven Process…,” “A Timeless Framework…,” “A Simple Checklist…,” etc.

Archetype #5: The F-Bomb Dropper

F-Bombers are abrasive. Cursing, ranting, and sarcasm are the name of the game here.

And that’s all 5!

When you have clarity over which archetype you naturally gravitate towards, it becomes really helpful for when you sit down to write tweets, threads, Atomic Essays, etc.
