❌ The Algorithm is Broken. This is what you need to do in 2024.

The algorithm right now is broken.

The best creators are making viral content every single day…

And they’re not growing.

And that means it’s your perfect opportunity to get ahead.

Back when I was starting as a content creator, my content sucked. I couldn’t grow at all.

But I used one simple strategy and it changed everything.

Spaces 🎙️ 

When I was a beginner, I went on every space I could speak on.

At first it was scary, intimidating and I felt like I had nothing to talk about.

But then once I clicked request that first time I was hooked.

See, spaces are growth pockets that run 24/7 on X and almost no one takes advantage of them.

If you speak on a space for 30 mins, you can come out with between 5-20 new followers.

And if you do that a couple times a week, you can grow 10x faster than you are right now (and even faster than some of the biggest creators in this current algorithm).

At first this small amount doesn’t feel like much, but if you do it consistently it adds up

(I went from 2k to 10k almost entirely through speaking on random spaces).

If you’ve never spoken on a space before,

My challenge to YOU is this:

1. Find a nice, mid-sized space (20-30 people).

2. Hit request

3. Ask one question.

Once you break down that barrier you’ll realise it’s so easy.

🍄 Become Better:

🎙️ I’m starting a Space to show how Web3 content creators are making money in 2024 (come and join next Tuesday)

If you’ve been reading this newsletter for a while, you’ll know I love Kelano’s story.

The man has less than 8k followers, generates more revenue than most creators in Web3 and has time to walk his dog multiple times a day and watch movies with his wife.

He is the true success story of Web3.

So when I was on a call with him, I asked:

“I want to interview you for a space, are you keen?”

But what I wasn’t expecting was him to say:

“Want to start a space together?”

I’m in - I said

We’ll be doing a deep dive into:

1. How to start a content driven business

2. How to get your first client

3. The dark side of being an entrepreneur that most people won’t tell you.

🏋️ How to make your New Years Resolutions stick.

If you’re like me, you’ve probably set yourself a bunch of resolutions and things that you want to change to start the new year.

Right now we’re in week 1 of the new year, and everything feels great.

We’re motivated, we have more time, why wouldn’t our resolutions stick?

But this is peacetime my friends. This is the easiest part of the climb.

If you want to make resolutions that stick, they can’t stick because of motivation.

They have to stick because of your system.

Here’s what I’m doing to make my resolutions stick:

1️⃣ Make good habits easy, make bad habits hard

Want to run more? Leave your running gear laid out next to your bed for when you wake up.

Want to drink less? Don’t keep alcohol in the fridge at home.

2️⃣ Get an accountability partner

Particularly for activities that can be done with someone else, find someone who is starting this resolution with you.

Want to play tennis more? Find someone that you play with once a week. Want to read more? Find someone that you can read with and discuss the book.

3️⃣ Don’t have too many resolutions

We all want to get fitter, read more, eat better, start our side hustle, etc.

But having too many can be the downfall the causes none of them to get done.

Warren Buffet has a great system for prioritisation. Write down your top goals (in order of importance). Cut out the bottom 75%, and only focus on the top 25%.

🧗 Started from the bottom now we’re here…

^{If you’re new here, one of the core principles of the content I share is that a newsletter is the most linear and simple business you can start in Web3. It has high sponsorship revenue and can go from being a side hustle to a full-time business in under a year. I am building this newsletter in public, to share the progress each week so that you can be a part of the journey. Now let’s get into it 👇}

This Week:
Subscribers: 3,538
Open Rate: 39.4%

Tracking my goals:

🚂 Improve the graphic design of this newsletter: Paused until 4,000 subs.

🚂 3,538 / 4,000 Subscribers: Starting the year by taking an L. But that’s alright because the strategy has flipped. This year I’ll be experimenting with paid growth, starting in late Feb.

✅ Update the welcome email for new subscribers: (Complete)

Have an awesome weekend friends 🫡
