What separates top creators from the rest? 🧵👇
They're prolific.
Content platform algorithms reward publishing good content frequently over great content sporadically. B-grade content with A-grade consistency beats A-grade content with B-grade consistency.

And the more you create, the faster you learn and grow. Your first article, video, or podcast will suck. Your 100th won't.
@david_perell rarely writes more than 10 hours per week and still publishes around 200,000 words a year (the equivalent of ~3 books). How is it possible to be so prolific?
⚖️ Curate your content diet.
Your output will only be as good as your input. Edit your feeds, subscriptions, and habits to ensure you're consuming the highest quality content.

🧠 Build your second brain.
When you are consuming, capture and organize any ideas that resonate. Never start writing from an empty page.

🚢 Ship your odds and ends.
What are you already consuming or producing that you can repurpose? Share what you're learning, show what you're doing, repurpose your work, sell your sawdust.

⚙️ Systems will set you free.
The secret isn't to work yourself to the bone. Creator burnout is real. The secret underpinning all this is to build systems. Systems allow you to leverage the power of workflows, automation, and people to optimize recurring tasks and processes.

On the internet, results compound. Most people don't see enough results early on so they give up. But the more prolific you are, the more you improve, the more your surface area for luck improves, and the more result you’ll have.
Be so prolific they can't ignore you.
