Here’s how you write posts that get noticed by billionaires:
This isn't a post with engagement hacks
This isn't a post telling you how to cheat the algorithm
This isn't a post showing you how to farm followers
This is a post showing you how to create compelling a** content that blows people's d**ks off
Let's go 👇
🔶Find a unique skill then lean in
I got noticed by Elon and Cuban these last couple days for one main reason:
I took my unique skill (coding) then applied it to a topic people care about (X)
You have unique skills. Find them and use them to create killer content
ACTION ITEMS
1. Open up a notebook
2. Brain dump everything you're interested in and anything you're good at for 30 minutes
3. Get it ALL out
4. Choose a unique skill you have and create content around it
5. Find others on X with that skill and reply to everything they post
🔶Storytelling
The most powerful weapon in the world is a story
Stories have started wars and overthrown nations
Stories are how you create content that gets noticed
Learn basic story telling structure and people will not only love your content, but they'll fall in love w you
ACTION ITEMS
1. Learn basic story telling structures
2. I've been reading a book called "Wired for Story". It's KILLER
3. Other great copywriting books: The Elements of Style and On Writing Well
4. Write long posts every day for practice
🔶Don't be f**king boring
The single biggest issue with X right now is everyone is so boring
Somehow everyone is now an AI and personal branding expert
Scrolling my feed is like listening to a post 2008 Lil Wayne album
Having a personality is now a major differentiator on X
ACTION ITEMS
1. Look at your text messages to your best friend
2. Look at your posts
3. If your posts sound like a robot and your texts sound like a human being, then fix that
4. Make jokes. Diss Drake. Loosen the f**k up
🔶Learn the art of the 🧵
Writing a 🧵isn't just stringing a bunch of posts together
🧵need to be compelling beginning to end
Great uses for 🧵s:
• Tutorials
• Step by step guides
• Lists
• Resource guide
ACTION ITEMS
1. Remember that unique skill from the first part of this 🧵? Write a tutorial on it
2. Break each step up into a separate post in a 🧵
3. Do this twice a week every week for practice
I've been writing 2 🧵a week for 2 years now. It's second nature now
🔶Learn the art of the long form post
Long form posts are the future of this platform
The algo is rewarding this kind of content like crazy
You need to be writing these
Long form posts are great for:
• Personal stories
• Anecdotes
• Deep dives
ACTION ITEMS
1. What's the last success you had?
2. Open up a notebook. Write all about it
3. Take that story then edit it on your computer
4. Break up the text chunks with white space. Edit out fluff words. You now have a long form post
5. Do this twice a week
🔶Give Value
Last and most important
The troll and be an a**hole era is over
Want to get attention now? Give value
What is value?
• Educate
• Entertain
• Provoke thought
• Ice cream so good gang gang
ACTION ITEMS
1. Ask yourself with every post what is the value to the reader?
2. Don't be an a**hole
3. No value to give? Read a book then write a summary
4. If you own a social media company don't steal my posts about the algorithm or you'll be savagely community noted
It really isn't difficult building an audience on this platform
Tell interesting stories
Give value
Don't be an a**hole
Be a human being
Do that every day for 12 months and I promise you'll have something bigger than you can imagine
