Late Checkout - Jeff Bezos Just Hit Follow
Before we dive in to this week’s newsletter: New pod episode is LIVE with Harley Finkelstein, a friend of mine and President of Shopify. We chatted about non-obvious ways to find mentors in your town and went deep. Listen on Spotify and Apple or watch on YouTube with some visuals. Tweet at us about the episode. Let’s get into this week’s newsletter So... you won't believe what happened. Jeff freakin' Bezos followed me on Twitter. Yeah, that's right, THE Jeff Bezos. I'm still in shock. But this got me thinking - what if I could give you the inside scoop on how to build audiences and go viral, just like I did? Let's break it down into non-obvious frameworks to make your content so irresistible that even billionaires can't resist smashing that follow button.
Now, let's get practical. Here are some examples of content creators who've nailed these frameworks:
Common pushback I hear when people are not really active on social. Pushback #1: “But I have nothing to say” Everyone has something to say. Think deeply about stories that are relevant to your niche. Dig deep, and then dig deeper. Pushback #2: “It’s tough, I’d rather just focus my energy on X, Y, Z marketing channel” The opportunity in building an audience on social is one of the highest leverage things you can do with your time. Pushback #3: “It’s saturated. The world doesn’t need another Twitter, YouTube or Podcast” When I started my podcast in 2021, everyone told me “it was too late”. I’m glad I didn’t listen to them. Now, it’s a top tech podcast. There is always room for fresh perspectives. So, what's the takeaway from all this? When you put yourself out there and create content that's bold, different, and genuine, you never know who might start paying attention. Follow these frameworks, and you might just find yourself with a billionaire follower too. And that value of that is probably $1M+. And remember, the internet is your playground - so go out there, make some waves and have major fun.
