Ok who is teaching this DM strategy?

I’ve seen this exact same framework in my inboxes for weeks.

It’s certainly a step above a cold DM & at least they have bothered to check out my website.

But it’s still in-authentic.
It’s transactional
It’s icky
Why would I want some stranger I don’t follow, haven’t interacted with to give me advice on my website?

I don’t know you
I don’t trust you

Why would one DM with a mention of something specific from my website suddenly establish that?
Too many people are just unwilling to put in the work to build genuine relationships.

Instead they get sucked in by these short-game tactics.
In short if you want to make more sales in the long run

👉 Build a network
👉 Be genuinely interested in people (not just in what you can do for them)
👉 Establish credibility through content
👉 Build an audience of raving fans

Then people will DM YOU.

Rant over.

We have 30 people signed up for the Daily Creator Course 🙌

I'm SO excited to be sharing my signature method for showing up daily as a creator that feels both joyful & sustainable...

but also produces a prolific amount of content 😁

Here's what we're going to cover 👇
Module 1 we'll talk all about setting up a sacred daily creative ritual.

I'm convinced that this has been the KEY 🔑 to the sustainability & prolificness of my creator journey.

A space that's not about the production of content. Just pure curiosity & creativity. Image
Module 2 we'll cover finding your signature platform & style.

Most creators make the mistake of trying to be everywhere straight out of the gate. But it just waters down their presence & their growth.

Instead, I'll talk about how to be memorable & nail one platform at a time. Image

Creating consistent content daily is equal parts ritual & system.

The ritual for me is Wake Up. Make Coffee. Write.

The System is my Daily Creator System. Here's how it works 👇
Austin Kleon says "But if you have a sacred place & use it, something will eventually happen."

But just sitting in your sacred space with a coffee isn't going to get content written. You need a system to support you in your practice.
Have Everything In One Place
My daily creator systems live on my daily page in @tana_inc because that is the first thing I open each day.

Rather than have to jump around to different places, I can get started right away by opening up the node.

One of my goals this year is to leverage content in multiple ways.

Rather than stress myself out trying to create different content for every platform, I'm using one idea in multiple ways, on multiple platforms 👇 Image
Each week I'm planning on taking one pillar content - either a Youtube Video, Article or Newsletter & turning it into a:

👉 Thread for Twitter
👉 Long Form Linked-In Post
👉 Carousel for Instagram
The idea is not to push people back to the original content. But to:

👉 Stretch the content reach
👉 Present it in different places
👉 Show it in different ways
👉 Multiply the number of eyes on the content

I really believe that being a creator can be a life-changing experience 😁

But for so many of my friends creating content is frustrating, takes WAY too long & doesn't seem to get easier the more you do it.

But it doesn't have to be that way...
I've been able to build a sustainable (& joyful) creative practice where content flows & spills out of me constantly & it all comes down to one thing:

SYSTEMS (sorry if you were expecting something else).

James Clear is right when he says you fall to the level of your systems.
So I'm launching The Daily Creator Course where I'll teach my 10 signature systems to help you get organised and create content with ease.

Finally, stop struggling & just build a simple, sustainable creative practice.

Would love to have you on board 👇 evchapman.com/templates/the-…

On any one day I write & publish multiple pieces of content.

I've found working on multiple things each day the easiest way to always have something interesting to work.

But I don't have all day -> I simply allocate one hour each morning. Here's how it breaks down 👇
Every piece of content I write is in one of three staging (& energy) areas:
🔴 Needs A Braindump (usually I do this when I have the idea)
🟠 Needs some space to think & write
🟢 Needs final touches & to hit publish

Each day I choose one thing from each stage to move along home.
By working on one of each staging areas I rarely feel like one piece of content is a heavy lift.

Each day something gets a little more attention, thinking space & writing.

And by the time it hits 🟢 it feels like nothing at all.

SOP checklists are not just for teams.

One of the best things you can do for your future self is to write down process checklists for regular tasks you do.

And It doesn't have to be complicated. Here's my simple guide to personal SOP checklists 👇
SOP's don't have to be scary or complicated. As you're completing a regular or recurring task:

👉 Write down each of the steps as you do them
👉 Add links to docs or websites you need (so you can get back there in one click
👉 Include screenshots or looms for easy reference
These checklists will save you so much more than just time.

👉 They'll stop you from procrastinating on tasks (because the steps are in front of you)
👉 They'll reduce cognitive load so you can get more creative work done
