What’s the fastest way to come up with ideas?
Use systems.
I created my own content matrix in Notion.
- Choose a topic
- Match it to a style
- Write a quick headline
- Repeat until you have 10 ideas
Much of writing is about systems.
I made $0 online in 2019.
3 years later:
- 100M+ impressions
- $1.7M in online income
- 4 successful revenue streams
What changed?
I started writing online every day.
Here's my simple 4-step process.

Struggling to format your writing?
There are so many tools out there to help.
I am loving @typeshare_co
They have beautiful templates built right in for inspiration.
No better way to get started.
No easier way to lose a reader than unclear writing.
So, once I'm done, I pass my writing through @HemingwayApp
It tells me:
- The grade level
- Poor word choices
- Poor sentence structure
Paste in your writing and see where you can simplify.
99% of people waste distribution opportunities.
You've already written something.
Why not share it everywhere that's relevant?
I use @Hypefury to send my content to multiple platforms.
The tool is powerful as hell.
Writing consistently is the most important step of all.
Here's the TL;DR:
• Ideate with topics/structures
• Format with tools like Typeshare
• Edit with tools like Hemingway
• Distribute with tools like HypeFury

Most people suck at building relationships online.
It's always:
- Help me!
- Can I pick your brain?
- Will you like my Tweet?
A terrible approach.
Here's how the top accounts on Twitter build real relationships:

To start, trust me when I say this:

Your profile cheat sheet:

I hesitate following people who don\u2019t have a description in their bio or no profile picture.

A good bio is a strong signal. With little effort, it\u2019s an invitation for the curios to connect.

Strangle selling. ( I am doing mostly in weekly Bank Nifty)
When to sell? When VIX is below 15
Assume spot is at 27500
Sell 27100 PE & 27900 CE
say premium for both 50-50
If bank nifty will move in narrow range u will get profit from both.

Few are selling 20-25 Rs positional option selling course.

Nothing big deal in that.
For selling weekly option just identify last week low and high.
Now from that low and high keep 1-1.5% distance from strike.
And sell option on both side.

A brief analysis and comparison of the CSS for Twitter's PWA vs Twitter's legacy desktop website. The difference is dramatic and I'll touch on some reasons why.
Legacy site *downloads* ~630 KB CSS per theme and writing direction.
6,769 rules
9,252 selectors
16.7k declarations
3,370 unique declarations
44 media queries
36 unique colors
50 unique background colors
46 unique font sizes
39 unique z-indices
https://t.co/qyl4Bt1i5x
PWA *incrementally generates* ~30 KB CSS that handles all themes and writing directions.
735 rules
740 selectors
757 declarations
730 unique declarations
0 media queries
11 unique colors
32 unique background colors
15 unique font sizes
7 unique z-indices
https://t.co/w7oNG5KUkJ
The legacy site's CSS is what happens when hundreds of people directly write CSS over many years. Specificity wars, redundancy, a house of cards that can't be fixed. The result is extremely inefficient and error-prone styling that punishes users and developers.
The PWA's CSS is generated on-demand by a JS framework that manages styles and outputs "atomic CSS". The framework can enforce strict constraints and perform optimisations, which is why the CSS is so much smaller and safer. Style conflicts and unbounded CSS growth are avoided.
