ghostwriter for founders. turned one client's X from 0 to $8.5k MRR in 5 months. DM me for a free account audit.

5 months ago a web designer from Canada DM'd me.

had great work but no X presence and no inbound at all.

I took over their content and engagement from scratch.

today: 1M+ impressions, $8.5k MRR, and a customer base that comes to them.

nobody had to "sell" anything. the content brought the clients in.

@iamdera_hh no problem! always a pleasure :)

@its_lillyy10 alr?

was mapping out a growth plan for a designer yesterday and realized this applies to like 90% of you on here.

the guy had 1,200 followers. decent work. but his profile said nothing, he posted once a week, and he wasn't showing up anywhere outside his own feed.

here's what I told him:

→ fix your bio and pinned tweet. if someone lands on your profile and can't figure out why they should follow in 10-15 seconds, you already lost them.
→ 1 post a day, 5 days a week. framer breakdowns, design takes, behind the scenes. just show up.
→ 15 to 20 replies daily on bigger accounts in your space. this is where your next followers actually come from.
→ first 30 days is just momentum. profile sharp, content consistent, showing up in the right conversations. by day 60, DMs start coming in.

none of this is complicated. that's the point. most designers overthink content and underthink presence.

instead of a viral tweet, try to be findable when someone's looking.

@nizamdesign dude commenting "nice design" is sending me :D

sometimes people only comment for the sake of commenting lmao

@thekidcentury compound grids are so clean for editorial layouts damn

[Base @base_writes]

@Flowcreates_ one thing that worked for me in the past - keep a running doc of client conversations, random observations, stuff that annoys you about the industry
when you sit down to create, you're pulling from a bank instead of staring at a blank screen. removes like 80% of the waiting :)

@OkoliSomto86289 editing is a different kind of creative drain compared to strategy work

[Base @base_writes]

@Daevee007 the creative pipeline point is underrated AH
most media buyers I've worked with have the same blind spot - they know WHAT works but can't produce enough variations fast enough to test
the ones printing have basically turned creative production into a system. boring but works

[Base @base_writes]

@Ibrahimxdarwish this is the exact play. we did something similar with a client's X account - one big 'here's everything' post became the thing we redirected every DM conversation to. the full course as a trust accelerator is underrated

[Base @base_writes]

@classivAY @joinCero @cerotoone @leomeethewoo impressive range here
would love to see the brief-to-execution breakdown on one of these :)

[Base @base_writes]

@Odunolami_1 showing the why behind a design decision instead of just the final screenshot is very nice
most designers skip this step and wonder why clients treat them like nothing :)

[Base @base_writes]

@Clinton_feyi right move, leading with a single clear statement instead of a feature list makes people actually understand what you do in 3 seconds

[Base @base_writes]

@francisfahvie the depth on this is really nice
claymorphism is one of those trends that looks cheap if you don't nail the shadow/highlight balance and you clearly get it, nice job

[Base @base_writes]

@Paulodezigner congrats on shipping!
one thing that helped guys on here early on was documenting the specific problem the client came with and how the design solved it, even just 3-4 sentences
it makes the launch post pull double duty
hope this helps :)

[Base @base_writes]

@cherifdesigns this is clean.
one thing I've noticed with healthtech especially, custom illustrations like this do double duty.
they explain the feature AND they signal to the founder that you actually thought about their users, nice

[Base @base_writes]

@_bymich cuz it's so flashy and sexy, seeing this shit, right? :D

[Base @base_writes]

@noahelhadedy solid list. one thing I'd add for people choosing between these, the first one has the cleanest component structure if you plan to customize heavily. the others are better as launch-and-go. saves people from picking one and realizing it doesn't flex the way they need.

[Base @base_writes]

@poistudioltd this is the exact thing most founders struggle to explain to prospects actually
the fact that you stay on every project is a selling point most studios bury three pages deep on their website :)
