“He who walks with the wise shall be wise, but the companion of fools shall know harm.” This applies to social media too.
+ who are you following?
+ whose ideas fill your mind?
+ are you wallowing with folks who preach doom and gloom? Or are you surrounded by winners, givers, and brilliant minds?
Friend, audit your social media. Guard your mind jealously. Focus on positives. Eschew negativity. Find the beauty. Walk with the wise.
@serenaded_ A particular sentence from the X version made me pause and imagine (He said “I want you rich so we can jolly ride on my yacht.”).
I dare say this was the sprinkle of salt that the LinkedIn version lacked for proper consumption.
@TheDivineKele I'm your guy @DarkFury86 Meta ads specialist. I've run multi-country campaigns across Nigeria, Zambia, South Africa, Ghana & Kenya, and caught a pixel tracking error that was inflating a client's reported conversions before it cost them real money. Happy to share case studies, DM
@Akpanthankgod_ The issue I have is that my cpc and ctr are good. With CPC as low as 45 and CTR at 14%. This shows interest and action taken yet when they get to the landing page they don't checkout.
YouTube creators below 10K subs, know this:
The hook is a promise.
The body is the delivery.
The call to action is the next promise.
Every great video is a chain of kept promises.
Break one link and you lose them.
90% Of YouTubers Are Bleeding Views Every Single Day, And They Don't Even Know Why.
You upload. One video explodes. The next five die.
You tell yourself it's the algorithm. It's bad luck. It's timing. IT'S NOT!
That rollercoaster is a sign that:
YOUR AUDIENCE HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOU.
And a confused audience never comes back.
I've spent 3+ years writing YouTube scripts, and I've watched hundreds of creators make the exact same mistake
They chase virality while their channel slowly dies.
The gurus won't tell you this. They're too focused on thumbnail tricks and upload schedules.
Here's the truth:
ONE VIRAL VIDEO MEANS NOTHING IF YOU HAVEN'T BUILT A RECOGNIZABLE, BINGEABLE YOUTUBE BRAND.
And in the next 2 minutes, I'm going to show you exactly how to build a YouTube brand.
Step 1: START NARROW.
From your first sub to hitting 10K, your job is finding what resonates with your audience.
Not virality.
Build a core audience that deeply believes in what you stand for.
You can't expand from nothing.
Step 2: IDENTIFY THE 3 AUDIENCE LAYERS IN YOUR NICHE
•Core: Hardcore Followers.
•Casual: people who dip in and out with interest
•New: people who wouldn't search your niche but would click a great video about it
Step 3: Make Videos That Will get ALL THREE to click this.
If only your core can enjoy it — the video is too narrow.
If only a new viewer would click, you've drifted off-brand.
The sweet spot is the video that brings all three in.
Here's the final step: Build A Reconizable YouTube Brand
A YouTube Brand finds a universal angle in your niche.
You find a topic rooted in your niche.
And explore it from an aspect that speaks to a feeling, fear, or desire that exists beyond your niche.
Every niche has a universal emotion underneath it.
Find that emotion. Build your brand there.
@SirJarus Sir J, I can handle this. I'll match your voice, post consistently, engage daily, no ghost mode, no corporate filler. I work with founders.
I manage social media for brands and founders.
There's a difference between a page that exists and one that builds influence. Let's talk.
According to Jordan Peterson, when a person declares themselves harmless and therefore think to be good, they are actually weak.
The goal is to be dangerous and choose not to be.
Like a samurai, capable of using the sword, but choose to keep it sheathed.
