The stats are in! Organic growth on X is officially dead. I posted the exact same long-form post on X (Twitter) and Threads (Instagram). The results are shocking: Twitter: 4 likes - 1 share - 4 comments - 285 views - 0 new followers Threads: 174 likes - 12 shares - 37 comments - 9141 views - 87 new followers So the natural question becomes: • Is it even worth growing X? • And how do you even do it? The answer is yes! I'll post a newsletter for the reasons why you must grow on X. Meanwhile, I paid growth gurus between 15k-200k followers to learn their secrets. Turns out it's a simple checklist! Here it is: • Comment 50 times a day • Send DM's to bigger creators • Write long-form posts and get them retweeted That's literally it, but let's break it down a little further. // X Comments Most people get this wrong and just plug and play AI answers. That is a recipe to NEVER grow. Or if you do, you won't be able to convert followers to 💰. This is the flow: People see a valuable/intriguing/thought provoking comment. > "Who is this guy?" > Checks your profile > Sees your bio and your vibe > Skims your timeline to see anything eye-catching > If they like what they see from a first impression, follows you to "save for later" Forget about leaving comments if they suck, might as well not do it. // Send DM's You'll want to create relationships with creators that have an audience bigger than you. But most people don't know how to talk to people in an non-needy way. The power dynamic is different, you need them, they don't need you. So if you want to get on their good side, you MUST provide VALUE to them. How? Try to genuinely connect with something that they said in a post. • Add your own experience. • Share anything that might be helpful to them as a person or as a brand. • Don't be annoying, be helpful and likeable. // Write long-forms Writing content is not a new thing, but you have to do it in a way that benefits you and others. It can be an insight, value, a story, an experience, or how you overcame a problem.

Listening to people talk about buying aged domains that come with quality backlinks. Has anyone tried this method? Speaking of backlinks, anyone use backlink building platforms? I know Google is against this type of strategy but lots of people are saying it’s needed to succeed.

I've bought so many courses myself. Don't get me wrong, each one is great and has tons of value. I wouldn't be where I am without them. But most of them have just too much: • Fluff • Endless videos • Thousands of words I'm tired of sifting through hours of fluff just to get to what I'm supposed to do. Overwhelm is a real thing and annoying as hell. So, as a Flow Creator, I'm going to make my own: • Clear • Simple • Easy to do • Steps 1 - 2 - 3 • Proven to work All so you can get paid to create. Who can relate to information overload? 👋

@Chris Starkhagen Just read your newsletter. One thing...30 minutes...great advice. For today, I will spend that 30 minutes figuring out what that one thing will be for the coming weeks. Best advice I've received in quite some time. Thank you!
