🧲 Attract an audience:

Finding a format that you can be known for (and unlocking growth)

What if making high growth content felt easy?

Sounds impossible right? That’s what I’ve thought for the past 12 months of actively creating content for Twitter.

But recently that all changed.

Over the past 4 weeks, it feels like I am finally finding my ‘fit’ with my content.

I’ve found the harmony of:

What I enjoy writing about 🤝 What people want to read 🤝 Something I can be known for.

For me this comes in the form of two content categories:

1. Weekly AI Recaps

2. Web3 Job Opportunities

I’ve now written over 150 threads over the past year. But previously when I would sit down to write, it would feel like I was starting at zero every single time.

Once a previous thread was finished, it didn’t help me create the next piece of content.

Now that I’ve found my formats that work, it has completely changed my life as a content creator. Now I experience that:

• The content consistently performs well.

• Content is quicker to make than ever before.

• I can make small improvements each time to improve it.

• I’m excited to write content because it’s about what I’m interested in.

When you start your content creation journey, you need to try everything. You throw things at the wall and see what sticks.

But if you have a viral moment, my recommendation is to explore that area more deeply, tinker with it and keep experimenting.

There are so many advantages to having a consistent format and a brand that you can become known for.

Right now I’m experiencing those benefits.

🌿 Feel f*cking fantastic:

Unlocking your creativity

As a content creator, I often feel like I get in my own way.

I overthink the piece of content that I want to produce, and find myself putting off content that I know will be impactful, but I don’t quite know how to start yet.

I’d never experienced someone articulate this feeling so vividly, and how to overcome it, until I’d listened to this podcast with Rick Rubin.

If you enjoy creative work, but find yourself getting stuck, this episode is a must listen:

⛵️ OpenSea is Hiring: $100,000 - $350,000

You guys have been giving an amazingly positive response to sharing these Web3 opportunities, so I’ve done another deep dive to see what’s out there.

This week, we’re featuring OpenSea.

In this thread I break down all the positions available, how much they’re paying and what they require:

By far, the best non-tech position on the list is the Communications Lead, because it has high pay ($150,000 to $265,000), with minimal required experience and can be done remotely.
