📝 A note from your instructor (Tony Ramella)
I’ll be real with you. I’m not here to make some clickbait guarantee you’ll make $10,000 per month after taking a course. I won’t rebrand any existing systems or programs with my own language to act like I invented them.
What I will do is teach you the simple, time tested note-making skills that enabled me to:
- Build a 5-figure Substack newsletter business in 2 years without cheap marketing tactics
- Continually publish weekly content without getting bunt out.
- Generate 128M+ online impressions in the past year.
- Grow an audience of over 70,000 like-minded learners across social media platforms.
- Transform my learning into a life-long career path.
- Reclaim my focus to become a mindful creator instead of a mindless consumer.
- Help thousands of divergent thinkers organize their digital life by writing valuable notes in Obsidian and with pen & paper systems.

🎓 What Alumni Are Saying:

"I thought that it was yet another course nobody asked for. But after meeting with Tony about it, I immediately understood that he had something special that other course creators often lack: a great sense of humility and dedication to his students. Unlike many, he doesn’t sound fake. After our call, I immediately enrolled. I knew I could benefit from it and I got way more than I expected for the price."
Carmen (Business Owner)
"I had an on-off relationship with Obsidian for 1-2 years, always trying to convince myself that it was the right tool for knowledge work after all (because everyone seems to use it). And yet I got more and more frustrated, simply because it didn't really click for ME.
Zettel Monetizer helped me gain my very own stack of tools, but it works for me and I think that's the most important thing in the end!"
