Pablo Picasso’s net worth was 3.75 Billion francs in 1976.

That’s Four Billion in US Dollars.

But no money in the world could prepare him for Bianca.

An old lady…
Who met him in the mall.

>> A Story Thread 🧵 <<
Bianca just got out of a retail store with two huge bags in her hands.

Shaking her body from side to side…

Trying to walk with bags almost as big as she was small.

Until she saw a familiar face.
She looked again.
And she couldn’t believe her eyes…
It was Picasso.

In the mall!

“Oh My God” - the lady thought in her head while running towards him.

She caught up.
And while breathing heavily from the run she said:

“Pi…cca…so. Is that you?”

He stopped.
Looked back at her.
And with a huge smile he said:
“Yes. That is me my lady.”

Her eyes shined.
She was as excited as a little girl in a candy shop.

She dropped her bags and grabbed him by the arm.

“Picasso…” she said.

“Can you draw me something beautiful?” She continued while pulling out a napkin from her front pocket…
“Well yes my dear lady” he answered while gently taking the napkin from her.

30 seconds later…

There was a beautiful drawing on the napkin.

The little old lady thanked him as she took the napkin and started walking away…

But then she heard a voice calling her from afar…
“Little lady” - Picasso said loudly…
“That’ll be $50,000”.

“WHAAAAAT?” She said surprisingly while walking back towards him.

“$50,000? It took you 30 seconds to draw this”…

Picasso smiled.
He took a big breath of air…
Stared directly into her eyes…

And said:
“It took me 30 years to learn how to draw this in 30 seconds”.

—- End of story.

By the way…
This thread is not about Picasso.
It’s not about drawing.
And it’s not about the lil’ lady.

I’ve sold more than 500,000 products online.

And I know with a 95+% certainty whether a campaign is gonna be a winner or flop.

How?

• Finding the big domino
• The double-take research
• Positioning.

Lemme explain…

>>> A CopyThinking Thread 🧵 <<<
This works THE SAME in any market.

Any industry. Any niche. Any product. ALWAYS.

This works today. In 2024.
This worked 50 years ago.
And it will work 50 years from now.

Because it’s not based on tactics.

This process is rooted in creating your very own little “world map”:
Look.

Everyone teaches you how you should write.

Words to use.
Templates to follow.
How to create winner offers.

Tactics.

But tactics don’t work without a high-level strategy.

Lemme show you what I mean…

The BIGGEST mistake professionals are making with their content?

They’re pushing ideal clients to their competitors.

99% of you are doing that.

Your big competitors are growing.
And you’re stuck.

Here’s how to fix it with simple THINKING.

>>> A CopyThinking Thread 🧵<<<
Yesterday I asked my audience this (image below).

And the answer I’m gonna give you is as relevant to ghostwriters…

As it is to copywriters. Or writers. Or coaches. Or ANYONE and everyone else.

Keep reading. Image
Let’s take ghostwriters as an example and if you’re not one?

You’re intelligent enough to relate it to your niche.

Right?

So ghostwriters:

What do they tweet about?

Generally three topics:

• They show their writing expertise
• Give writing advice
• Talk about why you should get a ghostwriter.

But what does that do?

I’ve sold about 700,000 products online.

• Courses
• Services
• physical products…

And here’s why it works:

• Awareness & sophistication levels
• Positioning
• Triggers
• Pain threshold

I will delete this in 48 hours exactly.

>>> A master thread 🧵 <<<
Let me begin by saying that this is gonna be a LONG thread.

It’s not for skimmers. It will NOT make sense unless you read it all.

And since I’ll be deleting it in 48 hours?

I suggest you read it now.
Let’s take a business or a service for example: investing.

We need to understand two elements before we even begin:

1. Each market has 3 (5 but we will only use 3 here) different awareness levels.
2. Each market has 5 different sophistication levels.

And here’s the breakdown:

How to make $40,000 in 6 months using AI:

A 3-step method.

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<<
I like to do daily AMA on my Instagram account.

And one guy has been asking the same question for the last three days.

So I finally decided to answer in the most detailed way I can.

A thread.
With specific steps.

Here’s how he asked it: Image
I won’t tell him that the dollar sign comes before the numbers.

He won’t need it when he starts making money with AI.

So are you ready for the thread?

There are 3 steps to it.

The first step is to create content about AI. And I’ll give you specific examples for hooks:

How to sell a boring product using a sneaky 3-step framework…

• Without changing the product
• Even if nobody knows you or your product
• And without even talking about the product at all.

This works for ANY product.

>>> A Thread 🧵 <<<
By the end of this thread you’ll know EXACTLY how to sell boring products.

But in order for you to understand it? You’ll have to read this short story first. It’ll be worth it. Promise.

Meet Bob. Bob works at a factory. And Bob is way overpaid for his work.
You see… Bob works in the factory warehouse. And he also drives the truck to make deliveries.

Bob makes $250,000/year. But here’s the thing…

The factory owner only pays Bob $50,000/year.

So how does Bob make the additional $200,000/year?

Here’s how:

What if I could show you a matrix..

Where I take three businesses and show you how EACH one could pick ONE feature…

And beat the other two with that one single feature?

And how the other two can do the same to beat the first one?

>>>A CopyThinking Thread 🧵<<<
I get one question a lot. A LOT. And that question is…

“How do you position a business in a highly saturated space to win?”

Well I’m gonna do you one better.

I’ll show you three examples in the same market. Where each can beat the others…

With a little thinking.
Ready?
I live in Spain now. And I was looking for a Coworking space.

There are literally 18 of them within a walking distance from each other.

How do I pick?

Well…
I couldn’t pick. Because NONE of them used ANY positioning to try and get me.

They all did the same thing:
