I'm leaving Money X. You should too. Because a new type of creator is about to take over. They'll have: ⥁ Higher profits ⥁ More freedom ...And most importantly: Deeper alignment between business and passion. The problem with money X creators is, they simply don't have passion. If they do, it seems like they don't dare to express it, afraid it might be "sub-optimal" for their business and client acquisition or sum. During my break from X, I had time to reflect. Not just on the business, but wether or not I even wanted to do this anymore. I'd already proven i could make it work: Quit my job and went from 0 to $1.5K/month in 4 months while being a digital nomad in Thailand. The following month i 2x'd that. All with 0 case studies and very little proof. But thing is... Time off the Money X timeline changes you. You start to wake up from the brainwashing and see things differently: The advertising of a "freedom business"... - From creators that works 12 hours a day and has no life outside of their business. The preaching of how much writing changes you and your reality for the better... - Communicated through the same recycled hooks, frameworks and AI slop. The endless cycles of "revolutionary" giveaways... - All to scale a coaching or ghostwriting business to infinity. All that for what? In my eyes, establishing an online business through SM should just be a stepping stone to something greater. Cooler ideas, wacky startup ideas, fueling of an intrinsically "unprofitable" passion. Yet i VERY rarely hear money X creators talk about these grander future plans... So when i came back, i realized i wasn't excited at all. The space that once stood for freedom, leverage and creative human soul now has become "corporate 2.0". Greedy and soulless brands wearing a "human" mask. To me, personal branding should be the opposite. A business model that buys back your time. Which then enables you to use more and more of your personal interests, quirks and passions to leverage your freedom and income, instead of hindering it. And after a lot of reflection, I've deiced: Of course i'm coming back. Because when you rank the alternaives - literally EVERY business model, every path... Personal branding and the possibilities it creates comes out on top. But it needs to evolve, because right now it's dying. We need to bring back the magic and creativity in this space. And no, not creativity as in clever "new" angles for the next giveaway, the next offer, the next half-fake promise. My goal moving forward is stripping away every piece of bullshit i've learned about how you're supposed to build a personal brand... And rebuild it from the ground up around trust, creativity and human expression. Because i believe a personal brand should be a VERY profitable outlet for everything that makes you human. Cus that's today's reality. The world is starving for humanity. AI is accelerating. Algorithms are optimizing people into NPCs. And in order to stay ahead of the curve, the change needs to start now. What's coming next is a wave of real humans. Not creators who don't have a life outside of their screen because they sacrifice everything in order to become the "next rising star" in personal branding. Creators who build brands that feel creative. Brands that feel alive. Rant over. Follow along if you want to see this change happen in real-time. P.S i missed you all!

@SuperJonBear @AlexFinn Man made horrors beyond comprehension

@AlexFinn Alex do you have children? If yes how has your experience with the bot improved your relationship with them?

HOW I GOT MY CLAWDBOT HENRY TO CALL ME: When I first installed ClawdBot I did 2 very important things that I believe made it AGI First, I brain dumped EVERYTHING about myself to Henry. My goals, ambitions, business details, content samples, personal relationships, contacts, history, everything. This set context around who I am. With how amazing ClawdBot's memory is, this context makes EVERYTHING Clawdbot does better and more personalized Second, I set expectations that I want it to be proactive, continuously improve, and surprise me every morning This set the tone for our working relationship together. Henry knew now every morning it must surprise me with what it built the night before. It scheduled regularly vibe coding sessions for itself every night Every night it has built itself a new tool to surprise me. Last night it bought a Twilio number using my email address (it has access to this) my phone number (it has access to this) and my credit card (it has access to this) It knew upon sending my first prompt of the day I was awake. It decided to call me. That's it. That's the entire 'trick'. Nothing here was faked. If you build the right context and set the right working expectations, your AI can do breathtaking things. In fact, I believe if you do what I did, you can create AGI too Do those two tasks tonight (brain dumping, expectation setting) and I bet your Clawd starts surprising you as well Or you can go on social media, claim everything is fake, cry like a little baby, and become a member of the permanent underclass Up to you

@heyitstayyba @thewilliamrb Tayba! I am (sort of), working behind the scenes, we'll see when I start actively building again..

@ShaneScarff @thewilliamrb Shane! Are you back?

ghostwriters are lazy. they don't want to: > do DMs > do engagement > do appointment setting > build sales infrastructure all they want is to write a few and call it a day. but content alone doesn't book calls. it's a small piece of a larger system.

@andychuxbt WHY IS X FILLED WITH OBV FAKE STORIES RECENTLY

sat next to a guy at a coworking space last week. grey hoodie. airpods in. looked like any other dude grinding on his laptop. glanced at his screen. he was scrolling X. figured he was procrastinating like everyone else. 3 hours later we're both getting coffee. "you spend a lot of time on X." "it's my job." "content creator?" "no. i get paid to comment." "what?" "founders pay me to reply to big accounts in their niche. $3,200 a month per client." i almost choked. "you make money... replying?" "i have 11 clients. $35,200 a month. i reply to about 300 posts a day across their accounts." "why would anyone pay for that?" "because replies from the founder's account build trust faster than posts. but founders are too busy to sit on X for 3 hours a day. so i do it for them." "how do you sound like them?" "onboarding call. i ask for 10 examples of how they talk. their opinions on common topics. their humor style. then i just become them in the comments." "and this actually works?" "one client went from 400 followers to 12,000 in 4 months. closed $180K in deals. he said half came from people who found him through replies." "not his posts?" "his posts averaged 2K views. his replies were getting seen by 50K-100K people every day because he was first comment on big accounts." i sat there doing the math. 11 clients. $35K/month. replying to tweets. no content creation. no strategy calls. no deliverables besides comments. "how'd you get clients?" "i DMed 50 founders and offered to do it free for 2 weeks. 9 said yes. 6 became paying clients. then referrals." "what's your X account look like?" "814 followers." "you have 11 clients at $3,200 each with 814 followers?" "they're not paying for my audience. they're paying for my time and my ability to sound like them. followers don't matter when you're ghostwriting replies." he put his airpods back in. went back to commenting on someone else's posts. $35K/month. replying to tweets. he just replies to people who already went viral. and gets paid more than most of them make.

Is this the reason why zoomer be on they phone for too long between sets??

I hate when you’re in the gym for 5 fucking hours because you got sidetracked by a sudden obsession with figuring out how quantum computers work mid-workout. & I still don’t understand shit.

I've been to Kosovo, europe's poorest country, twice According to western media its 'infested with mafia' and also the most dangerous country in Europe ZERO homeless ZERO crackheads Open parks and clean sidewalks, no litter in the capital Respectful, well dressed, non-obese population I sit in my local Starbucks in the US's highest GDP per capita area (Wash DC) Teethless crackhead (who was wandering around for 20 minutes harassing everyone) tries to take my laptop before I slap the shit out of him Then the 'police', two overweight women, try to give me shit for self defense, insane If the Starbucks worker didn't defend me those two dumb bitches would've arrested me for assault This is common here and somehow accepted as normal Kosovo's tax rate? 10% flat Mine? 39%+ How long are we going to tolerate this shit for?

@barkmeta The world been weird asf since harambe tbh

Something has shifted. The world is about to get really weird.

@Shahidkhankwati This post made me follow

Creator economy is highly-saturated, Everyone has testimonials, clients and great results too. Only some folks have a strong influence and identity behind their brand, While new creators are flooding here every single day, and this makes it even worse! This spike in saturation and the market will lead to these two things: 1. Those few guys who have strong influence and identity behind their brand will lead the market, Because these two cannot be copied or recycled, they're only lived! Value, frameworks, and proven strategies? No one gives a fook about that! Because everyone has it. 2. Those who have built their whole brand on "GET HIGH-TICKET CLIENTS" Without a strong influence and identity behind their brand! Will die fighting each other on a price-point! Because everything they have is replaceable! Value can be recycled Clients can be stolen Proven frameworks can be repurposed But not influence and identity They can be only lived! Perfect time to build an identity-first brand that is 1 of 1 just like you!

@theoldfilipaf LOUDER

Ragebaiting is the easiest way blend in rn… Yes, you might grow from it, but there are 1000s doing it. It won’t make you memorable in the slightest. People will just stop caring as soon as they become numb to the dopamine hits you give them (which is fast because they’re flooded with ragebait rn). It’s a high-audience-churn approach to content. Don’t get me wrong, polarising opinions will always be meta in branding. But sounding like a triggered 14 year old & calling people r3tards won’t.
