Really awesome podcast from @Sam Ovens and @Max Perzon and I wanted to touch on this topic because I intrinsically believe we are early. Facebook 2007 vibes. The people who stay consistent today, tomorrow and for a really long time on this platform are going to win. We are so early to this opportunity, I mean heck the main comunity doesn't even have 100k communities in it yet and the goal for the platform is 1 billion users. Stick with your passion, please don't lose your hope in this way of building a future for yourself even if money is a little tight at the moment.

I've just conducted a study of my group vs another group and I wanted to get all of your thoughts as to why GIF is ranked higher than this one? GIF: #227 The other group: #762

Today I will share the secret to ALL of my success in the last 30 days. It's super weird tho. You ready? Use it (sparingly + in your own way) and people will LOVE the stuff you do. 5 steps BABYYYY Step 1: Never serve your broccoli raw Good information alone just doesnt cut it. Make sure your copy is well organized & easy to digest. Step 2: Wrap that bad boy in BACON Take this value nugget of free information and make it DIFFERENT! Fun, colorful, dark, dangerous, curious? Doesnt matter, just has to stand out. If ALL of your value stands out & is easy to digest, (maybe even fun), you will blow up overnight. Personally I always hide my fun inside of my favorite things Food, Color, Stupid fun So figure out your own way to wrap your broccoli in bacon.
