Back in late 2018, I had never written anything online.

Fast forward 3 years, and I passed 100M impressions.

What most people don’t know?

I use the same process to write every time.

A short 🧵

Step 1: Ideate rapidly

What’s the fastest way to come up with ideas?

Use systems.

I created my own content matrix in Notion.

- Choose a topic
- Match it to a style
- Write a quick headline
- Repeat until you have 10 ideas

Much of writing is about systems.

Step 2: Choose a solid format

Struggling to format your writing?

There are so many tools out there to help.

I am loving @typeshare_co

They have beautiful templates built right in for inspiration.

No better way to get started.

Step 3: Edit ruthlessly

No easier way to lose a reader than unclear writing.

So, once I'm done, I pass my writing through @HemingwayApp

It tells me:

- The grade level
- Poor word choices
- Poor sentence structure

Paste in your writing and see where you can simplify.

Step 4: Distribute widely

99% of people I talk to waste distribution opportunities.

You've already written something.

Why not share it everywhere that's relevant?

I use @hypefury to send my content to Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram.

The tool is powerful.

Step 5: Stay consistent

Writing consistently is the most important step of all.

Here's the TL;DR:

• Ideate with topics/structures
• Format with tools like Typeshare
• Edit with tools like Hemingway
• Distribute with tools like HypeFury
