@JamesMOnline I try to bring that personal side every time I write my blog posts because people still exist so that personal touch for the blog should too

Nobody remembers most tweets they read 30 seconds after they're done reading them. Why? They're forgettable, and you sound like everybody else. When I started blogging in 2010, people followed blogs with a passion because people wrote them from the heart. They shared personal stories and their real lives. They were human. People weren't just fans of the content, they were fans of the people behind them. 10 years later the blogging landscape turned into rehashed SEO slop, where every top result was just a rehash of the same thing. In a way, Twitter is becoming the same. If you want to be remembered, bring that personal side back out. We live in the AI age - information is abundant. Connection is not.

@JamesMOnline @ItsKieranDrew Yes nervous to see where it goes yet I want to see where it goes

@ItsKieranDrew Critical thinking as well. Scared to see what will happen to critical thinking over the next 10 years..

AI has made the ability to create and the ability to focus a lethal skill.

@JamesMOnline I need to do this more

If the algorithm isn’t pushing your content, brute force your way into people’s feeds. Be the guy that shows up everywhere. If your posts aren’t getting pushed, show up in everybody’s comment sections. Piss people off because you keep showing up in their feed. Quit making excuses.

@JamesMOnline so much has happened recently so before Christmas I found someone that I asked to help promote my newest fitness course however I got people signed up for free and one sale I spent 150 and feel like I got nothing now I haven’t heard from them now how do I promote it

@JamesMOnline @GrammarHippy I need to learn how to promote my courses and not hire people to do it that doesn’t work for me I’ve sold one of the two paid courses though

@GrammarHippy I did info for 5 years, eCom for another 5 and now am back to info. WAY better business model despite making more money in eCom

Is anyone here even doing info or are you all ecom people?

@JamesMOnline I now have three courses on udemy two paid one free but promotion is still so hard for me I’d love to make it work well for me but I’m not sure how

@JamesMOnline Yes!! Exactly

Your content isn’t failing because it’s bad. It’s failing because no one believes you. The truth is, most information isn't new anymore. Everything has been said hundreds of times in hundreds of different ways. The same idea can be ignored 50 times… Then someone PROVES they got real results with it, and suddenly everyone listens. Drill this into your head... people don’t buy information. They buy proof and belief.

@parkerworth Books have the highest density of information across pretty much any format. That being said, I still probably end up spending more time listening to podcasts because of the ease of listening.

@JamesMOnline @stijnnoorman I messed up trying to promote my newest udemy course now I’m afraid to share it or ask for help

@stijnnoorman Yet people would rather spend most of their time looking for a golden ticket, instead of executing on what is proven to work.. Makes it kinda obvious why most people never get anywhere

20% of success is trying new stuff. 80% of success is repeating the same boring tasks.

@JamesMOnline Not focusing enough on promotion on my courses and my one blog not the fitness one that kinda died

Your entire life can change immediately if you could just eliminate your biggest vice. Maybe it’s binge watching TV. Maybe it’s pornography. Maybe it’s alcohol or drugs. Most people have something they know they shouldn’t be doing. Breaking such a strong addiction can be one of the hardest things you’ve ever done. But what do you get in return? You get a life. With all of it’s beauty.

vocal.media/stories Check out my new blog about lifestyle and hobbies

@shawngossman I tell them through small words they can understand and I tell them they can do anything no matter what they just have to go after what they want

@Treehilllover How do you tell them your story that they can immediately relate to?

What’s your biggest goal this year? A) More followers B) More money C) More freedom/time D) Turn it into a business Reply with a letter.

@shawngossman People who know they want fitness in there life but don’t know where to start

@Treehilllover Do you have a target audience? Go where they are and make yourself known. Make them see the expert you are.

@shawngossman That’s good though I need more subscribers to my fitness courses and my lifestyle and hobby blog I put on vocal media

@Treehilllover Sometimes. Out of the 3K subscribers on my newsletter, I might get around 3 paid items per month

@shawngossman It doesn’t get seen

What's your biggest fear when sharing content?

udemy.com/course/learn-h… udemy.com/course/fit-fle…

@shawngossman I have videos attached to each blog post

@Treehilllover I think that would be a smart move. Written blog content definitely still had its place, but video content is the way of the future.

If you could make $1,000/month from outdoor content, what would you create more of -- blogs, videos, or social posts?
