How To Promote Your Stuff On The Internet: A Thread

After all the recent online events/conventions, I realised that there are a lot of people who don't understand how to maximise their promotion potential, so here's a quick, basic thread on how to do that!! 1/13

 1. POST YOUR LINKS EVERYWHERE. People are lazy and want to do things as easily as possible. Put your shop/website/patreon link in your Twitter bio, in your pinned tweet, in your IG bio, make links easy to find on your site, put your links everywhere, please oh my god. 2/13
If you're making a post talking about your shop, put a link to your shop in the tweet (or in the tweet below if you're worried about algorithms). Say "shop link below!". Make it as easy as possible to find your shop! The majority of people will not go looking for the link!! 3/13
2. POST YOUR EMAIL EVERYWHERE. Someone looking to hire you isn't always going to want to DM you, and if they can't easily find a way to contact you, they'll just skip you. Put it in your bio!! Put it in your pinned tweet!!! Put it in the header of your website!!! 4/13
3. Related: make a website. If you don't want to make a portfolio website, then make an Instagram or Tumblr where your work is clearly on display. People are lazy. People don't want to scroll through memes to find your work to see if they want to hire you or buy from you. 5/13
4. Make your Online Branding cohesive, at least during important advertising times. Use the same icon across platforms so that you're recognisable. During TB I made sure to use the exact same image everywhere so people would recognise my work even if they didn't know my name 6/13
5. The algorithm sucks and you need to bump your work. A great way to do this without just replying "bump!" or "hey look" to your original post is to add more information with each bump, adding value to the thread. 7/13

Hey here's my shop!
↳ Here's something I'm selling there!
6. Include links and info about what your promotional thread is about in every tweet. What if one tweet gets a bunch of retweets and is shown contextless to hundreds of other people, who, again, are going to be too lazy to click to read the rest of the thread? 8/13
If your thread is about your shop or a crowdfunding campaign, this can be as simple as a "Buy here: [link]" line at the bottom of the tweet. People 👏 are 👏 lazy 👏 so you have to do the work for them. 9/13
8. Occasionally make NEW posts about the same thing!! Even if you're bumping everything, people will always miss things. Plus a fresh post will also get engagement from people who already saw and interacted with your original post. 10/13
If it's a new post about your shop, show new/different merch you're selling! If it's a new post about your crowdfunding campaign, use new promotional pictures!! Or just use the same ones with slightly different wording and bam, fresh new post. 11/13
7. Stealing this one from @haridraws: something that's super helpful as a commissioner or someone who's hiring is if your bio/pinned tweet has a line like "private commissions closed, business enquiries open [EMAIL]". Now I don't need to ask you! I just know! Thank you!!! 12/13
In conclusion, when you're drafting your post promoting yourself, step back and look at it again and think "have I made this as easy as possible to do the thing I'm asking".

Please feel free to reply with your own tips 🙏 Good luck promoting your stuff. 13/13
OH bonus tip: linking to an instagram account? People are LAZY. Post a link instead of just saying your username! Far less people will look you up if you say "check out my instagram @/evegwood" instead of "check out my instagram https://t.co/jXF22QsE0p"
Bonus bonus tip: check out my sick webcomic https://t.co/YPsgzqqNWN ⚡️

THREAD: Turkeys don’t vote for Christmas. It’s 6pm on a Friday evening, everyone is sat around a table at a nice restaurant in London. The head of Marketing from some big company is sitting down with his agency who invited him down to talk things over.

They insist on paying the bill, it’s a casual thing they say. Just a chat about ideas.

Wine starts flowing and jokes too. Everyone has a good time.

Especially the agency, they just signed a new client retainer for £5,000 a month.

Easy pickings.

Too often we see Marketers signing agency contracts because of a few casual chats, usually following some conference waffle sales pitch about how everything in Marketing is dead now and only they have the solutions in this “new world”.

The point here is that turkeys won’t vote for Christmas.

They won’t sell you the best option, they’ll sell what’s best for them.

But the problem isn’t the agencies, its Marketers.

Agencies will try to sell you what they sell, of course they would. Marketers of all people should be aware of this. It doesn’t really matter if you get on really well and they paid for your meal and they are young, millennial, white and middle class and do digital.

Marketing, Content, & Audience

Clubhouse highlights from @Julian, @shl, @mkobach, & @tobydoyhowell:

When building an audience, optimize for 3 things:

Volume
➡ How many followers?

Affinity
➡ How much do they prefer your tweet to the same one from someone else?

Recursive power
➡ How influential are your followers toward your goals?

Here's how to do marketing:

People follow to be entertained.

Entertain people & remind them that you exist.

You'll be top of mind when they want to sell an e-book or are frustrated by a slow check-out.

Don't make marketing more complicated than it is.

Forget funnels.

@mkobach just wants @Fast to be present to more people & knows 2M > 1M.

@tobydoyhowell just wants people to see MB everywhere & realize that the Brew is inevitable

Fact: people are more relatable than brands

Building your company around a personal brand(s) is a competitive advantage.

@Fast encourages & even helps people to build their personal brands

20 Most Important Lesson of 2020

// A THREAD //


It was a fast and weird year.

The year of change.

My life changed a lot and I learned even more.

Here are the 20 most important lessons - which will shape the upcoming decade for me.


1. Systems Are Better Than Goals

In the past, I failed many of my goals.

This year I've realized that it could be caused by the fact that they were goals, not systems.

Thanks, @ScottAdamsSays for helping me realize this.

Short article on the topic: https://t.co/lyBqGBR0yM


2. Use Notion More

@NotionHQ is definitely the most useful tool I've discovered this year.

I use it for:

- Twitter
- Freelance CRM
- Content Creation
- Website project management

And for personal use, it's completely free.


3. Email Is Immortal

This year we saw on social sites:

- Shadow bans
- Normal bans
- Decreasing reach (e.g. during the presidential election)

That's why I believe building an independent audience e.g. email list is mandatory.

Marketing 101

How to build a brand strategy from 0-1: a guide for startups

// 🧵

Reminder: brand strategy should be done WITH your Head of product and Head of Ops vs presented to them.

This creates buy-in and alignment on why this is important from day 1.

Brand strategy is NOT a marketing plan.

Brand strategy is WHY you will win.

Marketing plan is HOW: levers you will pull to hit your goals.

Step 1: Review Competitive Landscape

Do tear downs.
Understand leading value props.
Interview users of your competition to understand what’s working, what’s not.

Know who the players are and where they play vs where you will play.

Step 1b: Create your “ONLY” statement

Complete this sentence

We are the only brand that does x, y and/ or z.

Are you better, faster, cheaper? What makes you different and how would you say that efficiently.

Ok, here is a thread for you.
What happens when you have:
Netflix
Apple
Amazon
WarnerMedia +
Disney+
SonyCrackle (Reboot)
Verizon All Access (after they buy CBS/Viacom)
UniversalSkyMedia
By 2021
Answer? Internet Slows To A Craw and Dies.
Why?
Bandwidth.

Netflix's gets 35% of all internet traffic.
Now we all know Apple Coming to Netflix Corner.
We know that WarnerMedia Planning One
We Know about Disney+
Now how will the net handle 8 Streaming Platforms all at once?
Answer - IT CANT.

But Novid, the speed, the 4K the all everything?
NOOOOO BUDDY.
Even if you could do it and even if AWS ran six million clouds, The Net Will still slow to a crawl. 35%, goes to nearly 90% if any of the 8 or all of the 8 eat at netflix's numbers.

Oh, they wouldn't be running at once.
FOOL. You forget how bad things were when game of thrones season premieres came around. HBO SERVERS FALL DOWN GO BOOM!

Now see if a season like 2021 come around and they air shows on a same day. It gets crazy. AT&T and others gonna realize they cant build out forever. Something will give and it might be your entertainment consumption big time.

Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?


Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir

BAU’s official Twitter account


BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS

THIS.

Russia hasn't been a willing partner in this treaty for almost 3 decades. We should have ended the pretense long ago.

Naturally, Rand Paul is telling anyone who will listen to him that Trump is making a HUGE MISTAKE here.


Rand is just like his dad, Ron. 100% isolationist.

They've never grasped that 100% isolationist is not 'America First' when you examine it. It really means 'America Alone'.

The consistent grousing of pursuing military alliances with allies - like Trump is doing now with Saudi Arabia.

So of course Rand has also spent the last 2 days loudly calling for Trump to kill the arms deal with Saudi Arabia and end our alliance with them.

What Obama was engineering with his foreign policy was de facto isolationism: pull all the troops out of the ME, abandon the region to Iranian control as a client state of Russia.

Obama wasn't building an alliance with Iran; he was facilitating abandoning the ME to Iran.

Obama wouldn't even leave behind a token security force, so of course what happened was the rise of ISIS. He also pumped billions of dollars into the Iranian coffers, which the Mullah's used to fund destabilizing activity [wars/terrorism] & criminal enterprises all over the globe
