Michael is an extremely talented content writer, and a strategic social media marketer.

He watched carefully to see what type of content performed best on different social media platforms, and delivered content based on these findings. His writing style is engaging, creative, and informative all at the same time.

I've started ten Newsletters on substack around my core interests - https://substack.com/profile/21731691-michael-spencer - two of which I have monetized. They are: StockQuest, AISupremacy, First Futurist, Off The Grid, among others. This is primarily due to the lack of creator monetization and targeting on LinkedIn Newsletters and Medium's editorial biases and constant changes in management and funding.
