The Best Way To Grow On Social Media (From Zero Followers)
For non-members, read here.
I always had the dream of becoming a YouTuber.
But I failed for years before I saw a shred of success.
That’s what I want to talk about in this letter:
- Why I failed (and what you can learn)
- How to start even if you lack confidence and aren’t a 10/10 supermodel
- How to use other people’s authority to build your own (this will lead to the fastest growth)
- Why treating social media like a video game is the key to being a success (this will lead to sustainable growth)
In high school, I would get home from class, go to the gym, and spend my nights watching fitness creators doing what they loved for a living.
Those creators were the friends who didn’t even know who I was.
They didn’t realize the impact they had on my future.
They had no idea that I, a guy in a completely different location, was implementing their advice, copying their mannerisms and lingo, and becoming a person who was no longer programmed by the environment I grew up in.
The negative aspects of social media are obvious.
