There are people in a remote village in Italy pulling 16 hours work days.

Feeding their cows, working on the farms, and walking around open fields.

They do not have any monetary goals.

Neither do they have any materialistic needs.

All they need to enjoy life and nature as it comes. 

They talk to cows, cats, dogs, pigeons, flowers … there’s a flow to their order of life.

There is beauty to everyday life.

They work 16 hours a day and don’t worry about it.

Yet they do not work hard, nor do they ‘hustle’.

When asked what they’d do if they were starting life from scratch, most of them had the same thing to say

“Feed the cows. Work in the farms. Go to town and talk to neighbors. If I was reborn tomorrow, I’d do this all over again.”

So beautiful yet such a simple flowing way of living life.

I wish I had something so simple and routine.

I wouldn’t worry about the *number of hours I worked and my productivity

Because I’d flow every day.

Don’t you wish you had something similar?

Email lists are so underrated. You can directly message 100% of your audience on the email list.

Here are 7 ways to grow your email list:

1. Create a free 5-day educational email course followed by 3 days of FOMO pitching emails.

This works because people love receiving free education. 

A free email course is the best way to 

- Get people on your email list
- Immediately give great value
- Convert 10-20% of leads within 5-8 days.

2. Post 3-5x/week on LinkedIn. 

LinkedIn is the best text-based social media in 2024.

Because there are over 1 billion users here.

So post 3-5x/week around your industry topics.

Ask them to sign up for your email list to learn more. 

3. Repurpose your newsletter on Twitter (2-5x tweets/day)

This is the easiest way of growing your newsletter. 

Put your newsletter issue in ChatGPT.

Ask it to extract 10-20 short insights from the newsletter. 

Post them as tweets, and in the following tweet, ask them to sign up for your email list (automate this with Hypefury or Typefully,)

4. Set up a free e-book giveaway through a landing page.

Again, people love free education. 

Giveaway an ebook through a landing page 

Gatekeep the ebook with a signup form 

So people give you their email to get access. 

5. Offer free consulting sessions in exchange for emails.

Free consulting is a great way of 

- Understanding your target audience's problems better
- Spending more time with your ICP
- Growing your email list

All at the same time. 

So why not give away 2 sessions/week to random subscribers? 

6. Giveaway a $100 gift card to 1 lucky subscriber.

Who doesn't want free money?

Announce a $100 Amazon Gift Card giveaway to 1 lucky email subscriber.

What do they have to do to participate? 

Give you their email :) 

7. Write 1x newsletter issues per week.

Having an email list without regular newsletter issues is like standing in front of a crowd and staying silent.

Send at least 1x weekly newsletter issue to keep your email list warm.

Educate, nurture, connect.

Add a P.S. section at the end of each issue promoting your products/services. 

—

Honestly there are so many ways to grow your email list.

But if just pick one lever and keep pulling ...

Your email list will grow on autopilot.

Can you add 1 more way of growing an email list?

How can LinkedIn posting help in growing email lists?

How do regular newsletter issues contribute to growing email lists?

All great personal brands I remember are people whom I relate with.

Like a good song sticks in your head ...

A good personal brand sticks in your head too.

These people post about their daily lives in a way that appeals the best to people like me (solopreneurs, ghostwriters, etc).

I don’t remember alot of practical posts (though I bookmark them alot)

But I do remember personal posts where I can relate with the person.

So if you want to get the attention of thousands of people out there …

Post something thousands of people will relate to.

TL;DR 

People won’t remember the tactics you post (most of the time).

They will remember your

- Credibility
- Personality 
- Writing style

So be you.

Even when you’re posting tactics.

A little personalization can make your brand sticky.

Just like the songs stuck in your head.

Agree?

#personalbranding 

How important is personal branding in professional success?

How does credibility impact personal branding?

Why is personality important in personal branding?

Personal branding is a big myth.

Most people are busy creating their viral selves.

“Whatever works on sOcIaL MEdIA I will follow the tReNds.”

“Look I went viral baby 1000 likes and $0000.”

“I was drinking wine yesterday night and posted on LinkedIn while drunk and got 100s of comments OMG LinkedIn is so cringe …”

The whole personal branding thing is a big bust.

Those ‘two words’ are a front to mask up our innate need for attention.

When you hear ‘how to grow your brand’, your mind hears ‘how I can get the attention of thousands of people online’.

The only thing we’re seeking through personal branding is attention.

It can be the attention of customers, friends, family, big companies, bosses, girls, boys, etc …

But we’re all seeking attention in some way.

Personal branding is only a buzzword.

So don’t look for ways to grow your personal brand.

Instead, look for ways to capture the attention of the right audience.

Want more customers? Learn where the attention of your current customer is.

Want investors to send hot DMs? Learn what kinds of meetings leads to investments from investors (talk to funded founders).

Want more girls to like your post? Learn what kind of aesthetics girls spend the most time learning about.

Want more boys to like your post? Just post a selfie … (jk)

‘Personal branding’ is just a nicer way of saying ‘seeking the attention of the right people’.

But most people here don’t know the kind of attention they are seeking.

So under the veil of personal branding, they try to go viral and get everyone’s attention, which doesn’t serve their ultimate purpose.

All because some idiot told them the best way to grow their personal brand is to go viral. 

Suck it up and admit you’re seeking attention online.

Then learn how to seek the right attention if you wanna grow your personal brand in the right direction. 

#personalbranding

How important is capturing the right audience's attention in personal branding?

Why is personal branding considered a myth?

What strategies lead to successful investments from investors?

Imagine spending 16 hours alone on a small boat in the middle of the ocean.

People look for anything to hang on to when left alone.

- Spill eggs on the boat and wait for the yolk to try so they can clean it later on.

- Filter water glass by glass for hours at the end until the sun goes down 

- Count the number of clouds in the sky.

But what would you do if you were told to work for 16 hours? 

You wouldn't work for all the 16 hours.

You'd create meaningless tasks just to fill the time.

Why? 

Because you don't want to be alone for one second of those 16 hours.

Solitude is a bitch.

But high-performing individuals embrace solitude.

They don’t need to create tasks to stay busy 

They don't need to escape.

They work hard on the problems they care about 

Because they know how important it is to work on the things you love.

16 hours of work is so much time to stay focused.  

But when you are working on something you love, distractions are not needed.

Time flows by without you even knowing it.

You enter the flow state for any number of hours you're working. 

So get on with it and find something you love, and do that for the rest of your life.

Work will feel like play, be it for 2 hours a day or 16 hours a day.

How do high-performing individuals view solitude?

Why are distractions unnecessary when working on something you love?

What is the significance of working for 16 hours without distractions?

Your email list is 100% owned by you.

7 levers you can pull to grow your email list

(and grow by 50-100+ subscribers every month)

→ Create a free 5-day educational email course followed by 3 days of FOMO pitching emails 

→ Post 3-5x/week on LinkedIn and ask readers to sign up for your list to learn more

→ Repurpose your newsletter on Twitter (5-7x tweets/week)

→ Setup a free e-book giveaway through a landing page

→ Offer free consulting sessions in exchange of emails

→ Giveaway a $100 gift card to 1 lucky subscriber

→ Write 1x newsletter issues per week

There are so many ways to grow your email list.

Just pick ONE lever and keep pulling.

And pick a repeatable lever so you can keep doing it repeatedly!

An EEC (educational email course) is a perfect way of growing your email list.

Because you create the EEC once and then just get people to give you their emails through a conversion-focused landing page.

AI is cringe right? 

Can’t be creative and has no emotions.

Can’t follow instructions clearly.

Makes no sense at times.

AI sucks … 

Then why are top businesses spending $100K+ this year on AI solutions?

Why are companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta fighting to create the best AI model?

Don’t you know what happened with all earlier forms of technology?

The first versions always suck.

iPhone 1 didn’t have a front camera.

- Had 16 GB max storage. 
- Didn't allow video recording at all 
- Didn’t give you the ability to share files on the cloud.

iPhone 1 was shit.

The latest version iPhone 15 isn’t shit. 

- Has a 48 MP back camera
- A 12 MB front camera. 
- 6 GB of RAM and 512 GB of max storage
- Allows you to share files over the cloud.

It’s the greatest piece of mobile tech ever invented.

And the customers know it.

Apple is the most valuable company in the world.

In fact, Apple’s $3T+ valuation is more than many small country’s GDP.

So yeah AI might be really shit right now.

Even GPT 4 isn’t a great technology.

- It messes up and hallucinates. 
- Can't order food for us.
- Can't cook or clean for us.

But GPT 10 won’t be shit.

It’ll be mindblowing.

- Will be able to talk to us for hours.
- Will clean, cook, do the chores, and get groceries for us.
- Will be able to drive us to the nearest Starbucks and order our favorite coffee. 

GPT 10 will make our life easier than it has ever been. 

So you have a decision to make.

Will you be on the side of doomers who hate the latest trends only to adopt them once they become mainstream?

Or will you be on the side of early adopters, who cautiously try the latest trends to see if it can boost their productivity?

It’s your choice.

But it doesn’t matter if you use AI or not.

The technology is going to improve massively.

Choose at your own expense.

You've been warned.

40+ hours/month or $2000+/month … what would you invest in your personal brand? 

While you’re busy operating your business, your competitors are posting content on LinkedIn and becoming an industry authority.

Some of them hire ghostwriters/agencies.

Some of those entrepreneurs do it themselves.

Some of them have in-house strategists to handle their personal brand.

But if they have the resources (either 40+ hours/week or $2000+/month), they’re investing it to building their brand.

You should too.

Imagine a year from now what social capital you will have versus the social capital they will have after 365 days of posting content.

A huge difference. 

This is a huge opportunity cost too 

Because exposure on socials gets inbound leads, customer interest, investor interest, speaking engagements, and whatnot.

So start investing time or money in your personal brand today.

Better now than never.

P.S. I'm taking 1 more LinkedIn ghostwriting client for the month of May.

I wrote 0 words for 3 days because I was on a short trip to Mussoorie.

I still did client work because it needed to be done.

Why did I lose the discipline of writing every day but not the discipline of doing the work?

Because writing is a part of my routine. 

Trips introduce a break from this routine.

Instead of writing the first thing in the morning 

I wake up and think what tourist place I’ll visit today.

(For client work, there are deadlines so it gets done without any routine)

It’s surprising but I’ve noticed that I enjoy writing when done on a consistent routine.

So I’m getting back to my drug - writing 1000 words a day. 

P.S. What's your drug you can't live without? 

What are some tips for consistent writing?

How can one increase their daily writing output?

Imagine someone giving you $1000 worth of education in exchange for your email. You’d be a fool to not give your email. 

This is what educational email courses do.

Educational email courses are underrated marketing vehicles most AI businesses are ignoring. 

- Automated education delivered to your leads on autopilot

- Get new email leads through a high-converting (30-50%+) landing page

- 5-10 days of educational emails to educate your leads on the specific problem your software, business, service, or consultancy is solving

- Give prospects a trial of your software through GIFs, images, videos

- Ask leads to sign up for your software, fill up your demo form, or get on a call with you.

When you base these email courses on the PRINCIPLES of the problem you’re solving instead of specific tactics, you create a marketing asset that’ll last for years.

For example, if your software is solving sales analysis with the help of AI, base your email course around the 5 mistakes sales leaders make while analyzing data

Inside the course, teach them the principle mistakes all sales leaders make while analyzing data, and show how you solve them using your software. 

For 2-3 days after the end of these 5 days, follow up with your leads and hard sell them on signing up for your software 

(which you can do because you gave $1000 worth of education for free)

Get conversions from these FOMO emails.

All you need to do is get traffic to the email course.

And it will work on autopilot.

P.S. Want an educational email course for your business? DM me and let’s talk. 

What is the impact of FOMO emails on conversions?

How can email courses benefit marketing strategies?

6-month-old AI software engineer Devin raised $175M at a $2B valuation. 

VCs are going all in on the future of AI. 

Look at this guy using Devin AI to test his product and code.

The Devin AI Software Engineer actually works and tests out the product by creating demo values on it's own.

The future of AI is agentic.

Tell the AI agent your goal and it works on your behalf.

Insane if this can be applied to more areas then just coding.

Imagine an AI agent doing the shopping for you, booking trips, scheduling meetings, and helping you cook meals. 

The applications of AI Agents are enormous!

This is for everyone who's skeptical of using AI in their workday ...


You don't want to be like those tech protesters back in the day when the computer/calculator was launched.

They wanted to do things the ‘old’ way instead of just ‘typing’ out their thoughts.

They wanted to do the math in their ‘head' instead of letting the calculator do it for them. 

Some people hated the iPhone when it came out for the first time.

Look how important computers have become today.

How important scientific calculators are.

Where the iPhone is today. 

iPhone’s maker Apple is the most valued company in the world.

Technology always triumphs over ignorance and hatred. 

So you see …

It doesn’t matter if you hate AI.

AI doesn’t care if you hate it or not.

AI is going to take over the world.

AI will write, sing, dance, shoot videos, book trips, order recipes, and do 50% of your work.

Well AI is already doing most of those things. 

And AI technology is advancing every day.

- AI in Robotics is advancing.
- Compute is becoming cheaper thanks to Nvidia.
- Handheld AI devices like Rabbit R1 are launching every day. 

There’s AI in smartphones.

AI in computers.

AI inside your Excel sheets.

AI inside Enterprise processes. 

AI is literally everywhere.

Either learn how to use AI or keep wondering why others can get so much more done in less time.

Because if you can learn how to use AI the 'right' way, you get similar results while doing less work. 

Nobody cares about how many 'hours' you work but you. 

Smart work >>> Hard work.

So start learning how to use AI today or risk falling behind.

AI is the ultimate equalizer for those who don't have the time but are smart enough to know how to get the work done in less time.

After chatting 2+ hours with at least 4+ people, I get tired the fuck out. 

I’m not a fan of group meetings 

Because I get tired after talking to dozens of people within 2-3 hours.

Then I must shut up and zoom out from the back of the room.

If you try to talk to me, you’ll get back gibberish.

Because my social energy has run out.

And I want to run out of the room. 

It's weird but I gain energy from hanging out alone (lol).

That is how I operate.

How do you act around large groups of people?

Do you gain energy from the people around you or get tons of anxiety?

I’m somewhere in the middle because I can spend some time (1-2 hours) in large groups where I have to directly interact but not too much time (6+ hours will destroy me)


How can one effectively manage energy during group meetings?

How can individuals navigate interactions in large group settings?

What benefits can solitude offer in a professional setting?

42% of startups fail to hit product-market fit. 

Many AI SaaS companies are trying to build a GPT wrapper, which is a big mistake. 

AI access isn't a strong enough reason for SaaS customers to stay. 

They can use ChatGPT instead of buying your SaaS.

So as an AI SaaS founder, you should be asking yourself three questions 

1. Can a custom GPT do the work our software is doing? If yes, why are we building this?

2. Are there established competitors who’ve already validated their software and hit PMF, even if they've not integrated AI yet? (Perplexity already had PMF because of Google's Search Engine's success) 

3. If AI vanished from the face of the earth, will our customers stick with us?

Only the AI SaaS companies with a unique selling proposition will survive the next year.

For example, if you're building an AI SaaS that integrates 

- Topic Ideation
- SEO Keyword Research
- Writing And Editing 
- Content Management 
- Team Collaboration 

All on the same platform ... (like Vocable.ai)

You have a unique proposition. 

And people will want to buy your SaaS subscription with or without AI as it'll save them time and resources regardless. 

If you're building a SaaS in the AI space, the core of your software should benefit your customers even without AI access. If not, you need to think hard about what you’re building and why it will succeed. 

P.S. I help AI SaaS companies capture 30-50% of their web traffic with educational email courses. DM me "EEC" to learn more. 

What makes unique selling propositions crucial for AI SaaS companies?

Why isn't building a GPT wrapper sufficient for AI SaaS companies?
