I went from 900 to 125,000 followers in 12 months. But 90%…

I studied math at Princeton - mostly because I hated writing.

But colleges do a horrendous job teaching you to write.

So I spent 200 hours learning to write on my own.

Then, I summarized the frameworks I learned:

https://t.co/PxJqFGYJdG

College completely failed in teaching me how to write.

So I spent over 500 hours studying legendary authors and copywriters.

Then, I distilled what I learned into 6 simple frameworks.

But unlike college, these won't cost you $120,000.

Here they are for free:

If you use it right, you can learn anything on Twitter.

So I scoured the archives to find some of the hidden features of the internet's most popular tools:

If you use it right, the internet is the most powerful tool in human history.

But most people aren't using it to its full potential.

Luckily, there's now a Twitter thread with advanced tips for every internet tool - using this exact hook.

Here's the 10 best of them:

I wanted to learn the art of capturing, keeping, and monetizing attention - using writing.

So I immersed myself in the writings of the world's best copywriter.

Here's what I found:

The highest-paid copywriter in history: Gary Halbert.

His legendary sales letters generated over $1,000,000,000 in revenue.

And in one of his very last letters, he shared 12 time-tested strategies for writing better copy, faster.

Atomic Habits was the best book I read in 2020.

But while reading is good, application is better.

So here's how to use the frameworks from that book to build a writing habit:

https://t.co/P3RMSIlswk

Atomic Habits from @jamesclear changed my life.

In Atomic Habits, James lays out the Four Laws of Behavior Change.

1. Make it obvious
2. Make it attractive
3. Make it easy
4. Make it satisfying

Here's how to leverage them to build a daily writing habit (\U0001f9f5\u270d\U0001f3fc):

Now, we're heading into a new year.

And it's the time of year to fall into the "planning" trap.

So before you spend weeks and months trying to make the perfect plan, read this story of 2 men learning to fish:

https://t.co/2rvF6uO26Y

I used to have one severe addiction:

Planning.

My brain loved the cheap dopamine of gathering books to read, tasks to complete, and videos to watch.

But when it came to taking action, the euphoric rush faded.

What ended my addiction?

Now, these 9 threads were outliers.

But I wrote *every day* in 2021 (giving myself more shots on goal).

And I can attribute just about every good thing that's happened in my life to writing and publishing every day.

After seeing the benefits writing unlocked for me, I wanted to help others start too.

And over the last year, I've helped over 2,000 writers start writing online.

So if you're looking to kickstart 2022 by writing online, there are 7 days left to join:

Along the way, I've learned a lot about what makes for effective digital writing.

And I compiled every framework into this free 13,000-word ultimate guide.
