@Codie_Sanchez You find your illustrator yet? Want to turn doodles into deals beyond your book?

Want to make $5,000? I got you. I need an illustrator for my book graphics. Pick a tweet of mine, turn it into a cool illustration, drop it below... potentially win $5k.

I’m still mad about Covid (a lengthy thread). 1. I’m mad that we couldn’t have meaningful conversations about vaccine efficacy on any of the major social media platforms without consequences like our posts being taken down; being shadow banned; or even being deplatformed.

You can’t finish if you always restart.

If I wanted to build a Twitter Audience in 2023 these are the 5 strategies I would follow and the 5 creators I would steal them from:

the internet is a vehicle that prevents creative people having to "force" work that is clearly not their wheelhouse the problem is you can only figure this out after publishing an incredible amount of work

Highly recommend checking out #storyworthy by Matthew Dicks Especially if NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR CONTENT #story #storytelling #visualthinking #graphicrecording #cartoon #sketchnote #sketchnoting #doodle #mastermind

For all my Commie/Socialist friends who complained about my Joe Biden gas prices cartoon… you’ll be happy to hear that Agora is spending a lot of money on an ad that features more accurate numbers to sell an expensive investing newsletter #fjb #LetsGoBrandon #advertising

Do you direct mail your customers? Wouldn’t BUYERS be the best prospects for your more expensive offers — which might be worth spending a few extra bucks to reach via more a intimate media than email or ads? #directmail #snailmail #oldschool #directresponse #sales

Traffic + Conversion = Cash Flow… but what happens to the customers that fall through the cracks? #visual #sales #cartoon #marketing #business #traffic #leads #business #crm #media

If you’re struggling, you’re doing it wrong… learned a long time ago, only a poor craftsman blames his tools. What’s not working, and what do you think would fix it? #screwed #hammer #nails #cartoon #illustration #doodle

A partner of mine showed me his simple 1-page letter that's allowed him to buy businesses in industries he has no expertise in... and get equity in over $100M worth of deals in the last 3 years. By the way, he's not even 30 years old. Mind blown. #dealmaker #directmail #doodle

@pierce_mcm I’m still learning Twitter… it’s like a damn part time job trying to do social media

@EricBakey Id send ya a DM but I don’t think you’ve opened them haha, feel free to dm me if you want to chat Beamer stuff

Offer those 68,000 customers a high ticket upsell and watch another 2 million roll in 👀

How do your personal values impact your professional accomplishments? When values are clear, decisions are easy… Fitness. Learning. Creation. #visual #values #decisions #doodles

@pierce_mcm Yessir. Travis is a solid teacher

@EricBakey I should 👀 your in the Beamer group right? Great to connect man!

When proposing a project — step back to see the big picture: 1. What is the profit potential and what’s a fair split of the “pie”? 2. How much effort is involved and who is doing what? 3. What are the potential risks to reputation or revenue and how can you eliminate them?

In SALES — the focus is on “overcoming objections” In MARKETING — it’s all about “irresistible offers” In MANAGEMENT — the focus is on “operational objectives” Where is your FOCUS right now? And is it the MOST USEFUL one? #visualthinking #sales #marketing #management #focus
