“iShowSpeed Owns The World” is an absolute masterclass in storytelling.
It got almost 600k views after only 9 days.
And here are 7 storytelling techniques from the video which left me in awe:
When I was in school, I got an assignment to interview a person with our dream job
99% of the class interviewed a retail store manager
I cold emailed the CMO of Versace and got him on the phone and he invited me to meet Donatella Versace
Send the cold email. Send the cold DM🫡
@copymanuel Exactly man, my first hit was somewhere over my 30th script, then I got a couple more and didn’t care as much as the first time I got it haha
🚨📕 THE BOOK OF ELON IS NOW LIVE!!! 🎉🚀
This is the book we WISHED @elonmusk would write…
“All of Elon's most useful ideas, in his own words.”
Learn directly from the world’s greatest entrepreneur, like you’re sitting across from him at dinner.
It took FIVE YEARS to make this for you.
Because it's built from hundreds and hundreds of Elon's public appearances.
I went through 3,000,000+ words to collect the most useful and timeless ideas.
The final book is ~50,000 words.
Every word is USEFUL.
(This is what I do. My first book, The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, is one of the top 100 most highlighted books of all time on Kindle.)
Then, I spent $50,000+ on editing and design so it looks and feels beautiful.
Then…
> Foreword by @naval.
> Visuals by @jackbutcher.
> Blurb from @mrbeast.
> Published by @scribemediaco.
> And yes, approval on this idea from Elon himself, thanks to @samteller.
I went Maximum Effort to make this an all-timer.
We got 10/10 on reviews from early readers, then worked on it for ANOTHER YEAR.
Why so much effort?
My mission is to create One Million Musks.
For a generation to lift our gaze and build, so our grandchildren live in a world beyond our wildest dreams.
I’m an independent author.
I don’t get an advance.
I risk my own time and money to make these books.
Then we give away millions of them. Digital versions are free.
I believe this book can benefit every human, and if you can’t pay five bucks for it, I want to personally gift it to you.
Because I know it is useful.
Useful how?
You may be seeking purpose, a mission worthy of your life’s effort.
You may have a clear purpose and seek the tools for success.
You will find both in this book.
Get the benefits of Elon’s entire life of hard-won lessons in a five-hour, easy read.
(I checked, it’s a 5th-grade reading level.)
You’ll feel personally mentored by the greatest entrepreneur in history.

Bad hooks destroy your content
• No view
• No growth
• Wasted time & effort
So I made this Hook Checklist to make sure my hooks are good.
It will bring me 1,000s of followers in 2023.
Wanna see it?
Like + Cmt "Arrr!" and I'll send you.

@Jayyanginspires I don’t have any question, but reading your book gave me the confident to quit my 9-5 (avr income, monotonous job, no room for growth and toxic environment, but it’s stable and respected) and pursue another path.
It feels really strange after working a 9-5 for almost a decade.
@MercureCopy Relying too much on tools like that it’s dangerous, after relying on writing using AI for a while, I switched to manual first, AI later.
And the first time I used my brain to write again, I stared at the screen for like 30 minutes haha
@stevenbaterina Yep, but the thing stopping most people from creating content is because of delayed gratification, the seeds you planted won't bear fruit right away so it's pretty tough to maintain it for a long time
@copymanuel Is there any reasons behind that? It’s getting more expensive to get a job but what about the quality of those jobs.
Although I’m not on Upwork yet but I heard people are complaining about shitty jobs on the platform
@Nicolascole77 May they need to switch to longer form content, yes it's going to reach much smaller audience but the ones who engages are usually the ones you need
@MercureCopy This post spoke directly to my gut.
What an amazing piece of work. And this one is absolutely my favorite:
"And in that moment you realize you’ll always be someone else’s bitch until you figure this business thing out."
