After 10 years of being a wannabe creator I've 200x'd my creative output in 6 months with one simple hack 👇

I hit publish 200 times 😬

Here's 10 of my best anti-hacks for showing up daily as a creator👇🧵
Focus On Today 📆
Don't worry about tomorrow, next week or 30 days from now. Focus on hitting publish today, then do the same tomorrow and the day after that.

All that matters today is that you hit publish. The numbers will take care of themself.
Trust The Process 🧐
Your day 1 is probably going to suck. You're probably going to be disappointed with how many people engage. You're probably going to think there is something wrong.

There's nothing wrong. You're just early in the process.
Obsess About What Matters 🙋🏼
Should you write threads? Should you write essays? Should you do it this way or make it that colour? All of that is peripheral to what matters... good writing.

Good writing will transcend any format or medium or platform. So focus on writing.
Don't Box Yourself In 📦
Content buckets are good for generating early ideas. But don't be afraid to explore your interests. You'll never know if it hits with your audience until you ship it.

Be curious, experiment and dance with ideas.
Show Up. Especially On The Hard Days 😵
Prolific writers aren't blessed with sunshine and rainbows everyday. The only difference is they have discovered how to show up on the hard days as well as the easy ones

The only way to not quit...is to not quit
Embrace the Chaos 🤯
Maybe you didn't finish onboarding, or your system isn't perfect, or you missed your sacred time. Or you don't have all your ideas in order.

Ship anyway. Life isn't perfect.
Give Up Overthinking 🤔
Will anyone really notice if I don't publish?
Am I good enough?
No one is going to be interested in this
Who am I thinking I could be some kind of writer?

Overthinking will make you crazy. Hitting publish is the cure.
Listen For Signal 🩺
Critical writing feedback is good, but don't miss the real feedback. Every like and every comment and every DM (or lack of)... IS THE FEEDBACK.

It's all a signal for what resonates with your audience.
For goodness sake... Have some fun 🥳
One time I compared shipping to a big old ugly container ship. But writing in community is more like a fun cruise ship.

Write, publish, make friends, form friendships. Join the party up on deck!
Pat Yourself On The Back 😄
Because for everyday that you hit publish there are hundreds of others who wanted to but didn't.

You've already won, my friend.

👉 Don't be boxed in
👉 Show Up

I'll just keep saying it as long as people need to hear it

Creators who master showing up daily are winning against 95% of everyone else

Except showing up daily is hard

Here are 5 secrets I use to show up even on the shitty days 👇🧵
💪 Showing up is like building a muscle...

The more you show up 🙃
👇
the more you build the muscle
👇
& the more you build the muscle
👇
the easier it becomes to show up 🙂

Here's some of my best creative muscle building techniques 👇
Work A Little Overtime On Your Good Days
It's always easy to put in a little extra effort when the creative juices are flowing. On those days:

👉 Do an extra brain dump
👉 Write 10 extra ideas
👉 Research a topic you want to write about

Your future self will thank you later

You'll never find creative flow if you keep 10,000 tabs open in your brain 🧠

Here are 3 easy steps to build a trusted tab closing system for your brain so you can find presence and flow every day
🧵👇
Just like tabs on a computer, open tabs in our brain take up space in our working memory and affect performance.

They slow us down, break our flow and lead to overwhelm

The only way to close these tabs is to build a system our brain will trust. Here's how 👇
Do A Brain Dump 🧠
All those open tabs are taking up the limited space you have in your working memory. You want this space to find flow, not keep tabs open.

Step 1: Get them out of your head and down on paper (or screen)

Unless Twitter is your full-time job you don't need to spend hours every week writing tweets to fill up a schedule.

Here are 10 frameworks I use to write a full week of tweets in less than one hour👇
Always be collecting ideas 🧠

👉 Start a list in your favourite note tool called Tweet Ideas
👉 Throw random ideas in throughout the week
👉 Batch write your content once a week from that list.

Now, onto the frameworks 👇
Mine Your Previous Content 💎
For each essay I write I go back and extract content to use for tweets:
👉 Quotable Thoughts
👉 Listicles
👉 Questions

First impressions are everything 👀

There's more to your Twitter profile than what you can fit into that 160 character limit bio.

Here's how to optimise your profile for the best first impression 👇

A 🧵 [THREAD]
Every time someone visits your profile is a chance to introduce yourself.

It's not enough just to SAY what you do, you need to SHOW who you are.

👉 Show your personality
👉 Use every inch of real estate
👉 Create attention & tell a story

Read on to find out how 👇
ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴛᴡɪᴛᴛᴇʀ ɴᴀᴍᴇ. Did you know you can have up to 50 characters in your Twitter Name?

Go beyond your name & add some context
👉 Add Credibility with a number count
👉 Tell Em What You're Doing. (Eg. Ev is... )
👉 Name & Claim by adding your title

I grew my Twitter following from 500 to 1600 in 100 days 🤯

No hacks, No tricks. Just genuine human connection.

This is how I manage it all while working a full-time job, creating daily content on the internet & trying to have a life 🤪

❌ Stop using the Twitter app

Social apps are designed to give you a dopamine hit every time you open them. But most notifications are unhelpful for building an audience.

Focus on real engagement, not vanity metrics.
🙅🏼‍♀️ Never scroll Twitter casually

Real connections lead to authentic growth. So always be ready to connect when you are connecting to the platform.

⚡️Leave meaningful comments
⚡️Ask questions
⚡️Slide into DM's
