If you use it right, Twitter is the best place to learn any new skill.

And recently I've been obsessed with studying copywriting.

Here are the 8 people I'm learning the most from, along with their best copywriting tweets:
1. @nevmed

I've gone down the rabbit hole of his blog copywritingcourse.com

Also, his S.T.U.P.I.D. email has skyrocketed to the top of my inbox:

• Uplifting
• Picture
• Interesting
• Drawing

Business writing is a superpower.

But schools and employers do a horrible job teaching people to write.

In 1981, two advertising executives wrote a timeless guide for how to write in the business world.

And here are 12 of their tips you should staple to your desktop:
The goal of your writing is effective communication - writing that *works*

Busy people read what you write.

So you are more useful to them when your writing takes up less of their time.

The goal: invest the time to write well now to save others time in the future.
The golden rule of business writing: don't mumble.

While it is generally desirable to communicate your thoughts in a forthright manner, toning down your point and tiptoeing around it may tempt the reader to tune out and allow his mind to wander.

Just kidding.

Don't mumble.

The most valuable Twitter feature you aren't using:

Advanced search.

Knowing how to use it will help you find the hidden gems of the Twitter archives and 10x your Twitter experience.

Here's the step-by-step guide:
Most Twitter users know nothing about advanced search.

And the few that do think you have to access it this way: by clicking the three dots in the search bar, then clicking advanced search, then using these fields.

This is painfully inefficient.

Luckily, there is a better way.
You can leverage the power of advanced search right in the search bar using text.

And there are six different things you can create filters for:

• Date
• Keywords
• Number of likes
• Number of replies
• Number of retweets

Let's dive into how to use each.

One of the most legendary marketers of all time: David Ogilvy

In 1982, David wrote an internal memo to the employees of his advertising agency titled "How to write."

And in just 10 bullets he put together a masterclass in effective writing.

Here's a breakdown of each one:
The memo starts with a clear *why*

"The better you write, the higher you will go in Ogilvy & Mather.

People who think well, write well.

Good writing is not a natural gift. You have to learn to write well."

Replace "Ogilvy & Mather" with any company and this holds true.
1. Read the Roman-Raphelson book on writing. Read it three times.

Every company on Earth would be a better place if this book was required reading before email permissions were given.

If you are still sending emails with Walls of Text, order this.

Community-driven businesses are the future.

This was one of many takeaways from yesterday's Builders Build with @gregisenberg.

Here are 7 can't-miss lessons on audiences, communities, courses, and the future of business:
People confuse audiences with communities.

An audience is simply a group of people who:

• Follow you
• Listen to you

Building an audience is much easier than building a *community*with that audience.

And to do that, you can use the community test 👇🏼
There are five elements of every strong community:

• Togetherness
• Rituals
• Identity
• Belonging
• Engagement

When building a community, think TRIBE.

And to start, focus on creating rituals and fostering engagement.

Very cool product: @racket100

If they can make it seamless to play audio clips inline on Twitter, they will take over the short-form podcasting game in 3-6 months.
Check it out here:
