After 20 days of #ship30for30, it's time to reflect and share some results.

The TL;DR is: I'm also joining the next cohort. That speaks for itself.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
So far, I've published...

7 essays about copywriting
6 essays about online courses
7 essays about productivity

I enjoy switching the overarching topic every day to keep things fresh.
I've gotten into a daily rhythm of brainstorming, writing, and publishing that I don't want to miss anymore.

I'm still far from running out of ideas.

Quite the opposite.

My idea list keeps growing as I've become hyperaware of everything I could turn into an atomic essay.
Let's talk Twitter growth πŸ“ˆ

Thrilled to see these numbers.

But the many thoughtful comments on my tweets and essays mean even more.
My most successful atomic essay to date racked up 2.1k likes.

Never expected that.

Shipping every day has allowed me to...

- think through ideas faster than ever
- beat any self-doubt and procrastination
- improve the way I write to be more succinct
- connect with wonderful people I wouldn't have met otherwise
I'm so grateful to be part of the #ship30for30 community.

Everyone has been so supportive and generous.

@dickiebush is doing a fantastic job steering this ship.
@dbustac is a community superhero.
And, of course, I'm soaking up the writing wisdom of @Nicolascole77.
Ship 30 for 30 is way more than a challenge to establish a daily writing habit.

I can highly recommend it! And it's incredible value for money.

The choice of tools to run a cohort-based course can be overwhelming and confusing.

7 ideas from yesterday's fantastic @joinClubhouse session about the latest Write of Passage launch

@david_perell, @will_mannon, and @IshIsDeep talked about long-term goals for online education, creator accounting, and fame.

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1/7 Building a 100-year business

The creator can't be the bottleneck. It shouldn't be all about one person.

The responsibility for teaching can be distributed across alumni mentors and the community itself.
2/7 Aim for niche fame, avoid celebrity fame

Becoming famous in a particular niche has all the upside without the downside of fame.

You'll be able to connect with the world's experts and have a massive impact.

Got the chance to lead a workshop today for @dickiebush's amazing #ship30for30 community.

I covered how to craft attention-grabbing headlines for your essays.

Shared this 5-point checklist to test your headlines against πŸ‘‡
1/5 Is your headline specific?

The more specific, the better your target audience can identify that you've written this just for them.

specific > generic
2/5 Is it credible?

Is it believable?

Make sure that the promise you're making in your headline isn't too good to be true.

What course creators can learn from MIT professor, mathematician, and philosopher Gian-Carlo Rota

7 lessons from a fantastic article by @farnamstreet

πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1/7 Every lesson should focus on one main point only

Explain it from different angles with different examples to increase the chances that every student "gets it".

Trying to fit in too much can cause confusion and overwhelm.
2/7 Never run over time

Attention spans can only stretch so far.

It’s important to respect the time and attention of others.

This will also force you to condense and compress your ideas further.

It's not the person with the best idea or the right answer who wins.

But the one with the most compelling story.

5 takeaways from @morganhousel 's essay "Best Story Wins" πŸ‘‡
1/5 You don't need to come up with brilliant, original ideas

Take common knowledge and present it in a new way.
Present it better than anyone has done before.

That's enough.
2/5 Stories are like leverage for complex topics

They help people get the full potential out of something complicated.
But with way less effort.
