@natecurtiss_yt does the graph show that longer videos = more views because the biggest creators on the platform make videos in that range? or do the biggest creators on the platform make videos in that range because the graph shoes that longer videos = more views?

'How long should my video be?'

@seanb2b what if we did the opposite i noticed your company doesn't sell shrimp ice cream in the shape of barbie dolls

Stop sending cold emails that start with "I noticed your company does X" You noticed nothing Connect Claude to Cloudflare. Scrape their site. Pull their offer, clients, case studies. Now write the email from THAT

@paolo_scales im very curious to know what your article writing workflow is like the consistency + high standard of these is hella impressive

@itspairaw im curious about the vid content ngl

What the fuck is YouTube about anymore?

@hschneiderx i feel like its a bubble tbh. its the hype rn but in a few months people will realize that they're at the same place (or worse off) than without it should die off from there. lets see

X (will always be Twitter) has gone down the drain. Slop posts, slop replies… feels like we aren’t even on the real internet. Dead internet theory seems more true everyday… It’s all AI talking to AI… building every human their own personal echo-chamber of AI slop.

@IAmAaronWill pivoted because i was too successful

@ItsMeBenChan You told me you did OF bro

this is more of a small rant than anything but since i have a platform here goes lol since I've gotten a lil bit of success in the whole "make money online" "entrepreneur" space, I've had a bunch of friends (both in-person and online) ask me how I got here these are people who, just like me, spent the last 5 years or so trying to make something work and I've noticed that the reason why most people don't see success often comes down to just 2 things: 1. they don't work hard enough this advice is often frowned upon or called “cliche” in the space, but it’s as famous (or infamous) as it is for good reason one large part of breaking into this space is actually being able to put aside every excuse you have and work hard yes, it’s difficult. there’s no “easy way” to break out of it. - “dopamine detox” doesn’t work - all the focus tactics don’t work - the 3 Best Tactics video doesn’t work the only thing that solved this for me was making a quiet decision on my own, to do the hard work, no matter what happens, especially when i didn’t feel like it if you want to get results that 99% don’t, you need to be willing to do what 99% aren’t there’s a verse in the Bible which I remember going something like this: “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” many, many people i know had a period of straight grinding when they started out i remember waking up at 4am and sleeping at 11pm for a few months straight - just to try to get the business off the ground while i was working a job i’d be so absolutely exhausted mentally and physically that i was sick all the time but that period where i could barely keep my eyes open, acne ravaging my face, bank account in the double digits, was when i finally made the most linear progress in the biz (im not saying you HAVE to destroy your body in order to succeed but i do believe that being willing to work is a huge part of it) going from zero to one is always the most difficult because you gotta prep yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. swords need to be forged in fire in order to not break on the first swing 2. they don’t know when to quit/pivot seems quite contradictory from the first reason, but here’s what i mean my first venture into online business was through instagram theme pages this was in 2020/2021, long after the initial instagram theme page hype had lived and died i spent 3 months growing a car page from 0 → 10,000 followers trimming follows and unfollows testing content, captions, and hashtags trying different tactics to grow my page faster when i tried to sell it, i couldn’t. realized the niche was dead soon after. i had 2 choices: a. pivot and destroy 3 months of work b. keep going and watch my chances dwindle every day there’s one story from the book $100M Offers where Hormozi talks about his friend trying to make it big in the newspaper industry - an industry which was shrinking by 25% year over year. there was just no way to succeed in such conditions so i pivoted started a minecraft youtube channel, brought it to 3k subscribers in half a year this is also where i started studying content theory for hours every single day, which ended up getting me to where i am now but i pivoted again shortly after because i couldn’t see myself being a minecraft youtuber at 50 years old i soon joined X and started posting book reviews, hoping to monetize those but soon i realized that the only way to make a significant amount of money was to develop a massive audience ended up pivoting again reason why im bringing this random lore up is because one element of success is to be able to think critically about what works and what doesn’t and then determine WHY something isn’t working (and knowing whether to pivot from there or keep going) is it your strategy? is it that the niche doesn’t work? is it that you’re not delivering enough volume? this is only solved through trial and error + constant education track what you’re doing, analyze what’s working and what isn’t, and make a logical decision from there — tldr: if you’re able to 1) commit to working hard and 2) know how to diagnose your situation, you’ll eventually make it. of course, do keep in mind that (pretty obviously) im not perfect, neither are my methods, nor am i where i want to be the goal of this post is just to point out a few common mistakes and misconceptions ive learned from my journey from 0 → about $200k online so hopefully it can help someone else too if you disagree with any of this, please feel free to comment (esp if you’re someone who’s been where i am now and gone far further) rant over

@DustinOgle33 interface looks fire

I’m opening 30 spots for something new: Crossroads Council - $1 Alpha. It’s for people at a real crossroads who want overnight clarity on a decision that actually matters. You spend ~10 minutes talking to the Oracle by typing or voice. Then a Council of Experts debates your situation overnight, and by morning, you get: - a clearer way to think - what to do next - how to course-correct if things change @ZaiforStartups is covering most of the compute for this first cohort, so Alpha is $1 instead of the planned $49. This runs for 7 days or 30 spots, whichever comes first. laoracle.com/alpha

@Laraacostar @paolo_scales was this what u wanted

i'm interviewing people for our new podcast who here is making $$$ from linkedin will need to verify income etc as it will be distributed on my channels (500k+) drop @ and or comment - ideally using linkedin as lead gen etc

@lucas_b_x i have a pro account (its free, due to some partnership) but i don't use it lmao

@ItsMeBenChan but typefully is too clean

my twitter tech stack: - X premium ($10/mo) - Notion (free) That's it, lol. - You can schedule tweets directly on X. - You can scroll the For You page for inspiration. Elon's done a pretty dang good job at making this an all-in-one platform. Take advantage of it.

@ecomTrevor imagine this in a completely diff scenario "heres ur chicken rice" "is it a scam?" "no bruh" "can i get it without paying you?" "no" "then its a scam. ur trying to scam me"

lol
