Guide below ✍️🚢👇

Step 1: Write Atomic Essay

I really enjoy writing right inside the Figma template. It helps give me a good sense of exactly how much "real estate" I have/have left before my time us up and I'm out of space.

Once finished, I export the image and send to my phone on Slack.

Step 2: Post image on Twitter

Before I publish my Atomic Essay on Twitter, I use the Edit/Photo Markup function on the iPhone to highlight standout sentences.

These are usually power-phrases: things the reader skims and thinks, "That's interesting," prompting them to read more.

Step 3: For the Ship 30 for 30 challenge, I only turn Atomic Essays into threads if...

1. The piece is SUPER actionable and lends itself well to the thread format (lots of bullets, quick points, lists, etc.)

or...

2. I'm referencing research and want to link to the pieces.

Step 4: Find relevant Question on Quora. Copy/paste Atomic Essay + image.

Search on Quora around the topic you wrote about. Find a related Question. Copy/paste the whole Atomic Essay as your "answer" (& fix formatting). Then include image so it appears in the thumbnail.

Step 5: Copy/paste again on Medium.

Do the same thing on Medium. Use your same original Atomic Essay title and publish on Medium.

*Bonus points: put behind the paywall & submit to a Medium pub. (Now you're earning $ for republishing)

Step 6: Copy/paste again on LinkedIn

I like using the first few lines/paragraphs as my lead-in text when I publish the article and LinkedIn prompts me to add text for a status update.

Step 7: Copy/paste again anywhere else you'd like.

- Personal website/blog
- NewsBreak
- Another publication that wants to curate your content

You can also turn your Atomic Essays into:

- TikToks
- Instagram Reels
- Tweet 1 sentence. Send to IG as an image.
- Etc.

💸 The 5 Revenue Streams Every Writer Should Build For Themselves 💸

Today I have ~9 different revenue streams for myself, but these 5 are the big ones that have fueled my career for the past 5 years (and allowed me to quit my 9-5 & go all-in on writing) 👇🧵

1/ Writing as a service

This is without question the easiest revenue stream to build, and where most writers start.

The first big jump in my income as a writer came from ghostwriting. Once you learn how to provide writing as a service (and get paid $$), you're off to the races

2/ Write books/guides/etc.

My 2nd paid product online was a $30 "How To Become A Top Writer On Quora" course. My 1st was a eBook series called "Skinny to Shredded."

Create assets that can be sold infinitely at scale. Small numbers ($$$) add up over time.

[THREAD] How To Successfully Launch A Startup, Inverted

1/ Mention the incumbent in all of your marketing materials. That way, everyone knows you’re 2nd best.

2/ Pick a category someone else already owns. It’s best to use marketing dollars trying to convince people to stop liking something they already like.

3/ Spend top dollar on branding. When customers (or investors) are judging your product, utility & clarity of the problem it solves is irrelevant. Humans are monkeys. If it’s shiny, people will want it.

[THREAD] How To Find A Mentor (No Matter What Industry You're In)

I have attracted dozens of mentors since I was a teenager. As I've gotten older, I've realized these relationships were the secret to my growth.

Here's how to find mentors of your own 👇👇👇

1/ Don't obsess over finding The Expert.

This is the BIG mistake anyone looking for someone to "mentor them" makes.

All you need is to find someone who knows the very-next-thing you want to learn. Technically, anyone "a little bit further along" can be your mentor.

2/ Start to see everyone around you as A Mentor

- Your co-worker with 1-2 yrs more experience is a mentor
- Your family friend who is always telling "war stories" is a mentor
- Your neighbor, cousin, aunt, uncle who has done what you're trying to do, can all be mentors

Hemingway vs. Faulkner: The Little-Known Rivalry Between 2 Of America's Most Famous Writers

🧵✍️👇

1/ If you thought the 2pac vs Biggie feud in the 90s was competitive, let me tell you the story of Ernest Hemingway versus William Faulkner.

Hemingway grew up in the Midwest, and shortly after high school entered WW1. This inspired his 1st novel, A Farewell to Arms (1929).

2/ Faulkner meanwhile grew up in Mississippi in an educated household. His mother (and Gma) were painters & photographers, and are credited with informing Faulkner's later visual-heavy writing style.

He did not enter the war, and instead attended the University of Mississippi.

Things that would make Twitter Spaces > Clubhouse

CC: @kayvz @mep @jack

👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

1/ Market the category. Not the product.

“Drop-in” audio is what’s emerging, not necessarily Clubhouse as a product. Don’t get sucked into playing a “better-faster-smarter-cheaper game.”

Be Coke, and never acknowledge Pepsi.

2/ Allow Discovery of Drop-in audio mid speaker.

Twitter’s unfair advantage here is it’s massive fast-moving community. Being able to discover people speaking (literally mid-sentence), hold down, listen to preview, and decide whether or not to stay/keep listening is powerful.

[THREAD]: The Untold Story Of Reddit's Golden Investor: The God of $GME 📈🚀🌕👇

This is the narrative that deserves more attention...

Enjoy.

1/ In July, 2020, a retail investor, YouTuber, and Redditor u/DeepFuckingValue made a controversial video.

His argument was that Gamestop $GME was undervalued. The fundamentals of the company were strong, and it had a promising post-pandemic future.

2/ But this wasn't the beginning.

More than a year prior, u/DeepFuckingValue had spotted the $GME opportunity—right alongside legendary investor Michael Burry.

Burry was the short seller who called the housing crisis in '08.
