Content is the lifeblood of online business

Problem is 90% of creators are putting customers to sleep with low quality content.

Here's how you can fix that in five minutes:
I've coached 100s of people to build and monetize an online audience.

Biggest mistake they make?

Creating BORING content.

So here's 5 actionable tips I stole from a 7 figure marketer to help you create great and engaging content on a daily basis

[Bookmark this]
1) Infotain them

A lot of people wrongly equate valuable content with serious content.

News flash: Serious content = boring, dull and dry.

The solution is to combine your valuable info with entertainment aka infotainment.

Why do you think it's so easy to go viral on Tik Tok?
Why is YouTube the second largest search engine in the world?

Because video is entertaining.

But the idea of creating infotainment applies to any format: tweets, threads, emails, podcasts etc.

If you can infotain with your content, you'll win every time.
2) Talk about their pains

Most newbie content creators approach content with the wrong mindset by asking "How can I make my content cooler?"

Instead...

They should ask "what pains do my audience have?"

Nobody ever gets bored listening to you talk about their problems.
This is why people will spend the entire day reading and consuming content about the symptoms of their problems.

Because 99% of people live in their own heads.

And they spend that whole time obsessing about their pains.

If you want to 100x your engagement and sales?
Understand that PAIN TRUMPS INSPIRATION.

Create content with this in mind and you'll never struggle to get engagement, get more followers or get more sales ever again.

This alone will put you in the top 20% of content creators.

Next tip 👇
3) Tell stories

Psychological FACT: The human brain is wired to LEARN through story.

Stories are also built-in entertainment.

THINK. When have you ever been bored by a good story?

It's never happened because a good story will always hook you.

The format does not matter.
Another thing I love about stories is they're economical because you can give a TON of value without saying much.

If you want to be persuasive AF? Tell stories.

One good story beats one long lecture because even a short (but gripping) story will do all the persuading for you.
4) Write like you talk

All good content starts with good writing but you don't need to have a writing degree to be a great content creator.

Start by writing like you talk.

This alone will make you a more effective creator than 90% of the competition.

Last one 👇
5) Dare to be controversial

It's better to be wrong and controversial than right and boring.

If that upsets you then you need to grow up.

This is how talk radio works.

This is how politics works.

This is how marketing works.

And it's also how creating good content works.
Enjoyed this?

It will be pre-released at a significant discount to those on my email list.

1) Steal attention with a strong Headline

A reader's decision to read the body copy lives or dies on the strength of your headline.

Your goal is to make the reader curious enough to read the first few sentences.

If you got the reader to sentence number two or three, congrats.

Twitter is the most powerful platform because just ONE tweet has the potential to influence the minds of hundreds of thousands of people.

But writing tweets is hard and most people suck at it.

So here's a free 3 step exercise *anybody* can use to become a top 2% Tweet writer:
I approach tweet writing the same way I approach copywriting:

1) Study what's already working
2) Steal the *framework* (Most important step but NOT plagiarism.)
3) Apply framework to my ideas

Here's how you use this 3 step process to become a viral tweet writing machine 👇
1a) Study what's working

Pick 3-5 Twitter accounts you LOVE and aspire to be like.

If you use it right, Twitter is the best social media platform for intelligent people.

But it doesn't come with a user manual so 98% of people suck at it.

I spent 2 years figuring it out so you don't have to.

Here's 7 ways to 10x your Twitter experience:
1) Clean your feed

Twitter is known for memes and political arguments.

But that's because the algorithm is designed to distract you.

Here's how you can change that:

> On Desktop, install chrome ext "Minimal Twitter" (H/t @BenjaminGJW)

This chrome extension removes all the...
noise on your feed like "Explore" and "Trending Topics" which are usually full of news and junk.

Other actionable tips to clean your feed:

> Mute/block accounts that add no value
> Actively engage with accounts you like
> Unfollow accounts you don't engage with
> Use Tweetdeck

1) According to the Twitter algorithm, threads are the fastest way to grow your following in minimum time.

But they're hard to write. And it's either hit or miss.

Here's how you write one that *actually* does what you want it to do.

A breakdown:
2) A viral thread:

> Hits a big pain point
> Written in plain English (no fancy words or slang)
> Extremely shareable (makes you hit RT without thinking)
> Has a KILLER hook

Let me show you how to do this step by step 👇
3) Step # 1 pick a core emotion

There's 8 core emotions that maximize shareability

1) NSFW that's crazy!
2) LOL that's so funny
3) OHHH *now* I get it!
4) WOW that's amazing!
5) AWW that's sooo cute
6) YAY that's great news!
7) WTF that pisses me off
8) FINALLY someone said it!
