1/ One of the best things I did in 2020 was to join a growth marketing program called @growclass

I’d seen it hover around online, I saw some friends talking about it. But I thought, wow, that looks great but it’s too expensive for me at the moment.

[continue thread ...]

 2/ Then I kept coming back and getting more nervous because the more I looked at it the more I wanted to join.

It finally came to a point where I felt an irresistible urge to join the program. And I remember I was on the landing page 10 minutes before the program closed.
3/ And I immediately thought to myself: “I need to learn how to make people interested in career coaching feel like Growclass made me feel just now”.
4/ Then I tried to think about it as an investment. “If Growclass helps me gain 10 more students over the next 12 months, it will pay for itself.”
5/ Well things have changed significantly since then.

I was inspired by others to raise my prices significantly. Now my prices are triple what they were when I first started (and waaaay undercharging).

But the copywriting and website tear downs have made a big change for me.
6/ One thing I didn’t expect to take away from @Growclass was all the incredible community-building ideas and practices, beautiful content, and welcome packages you get.

It inspired me to build better resources for my programs.
7/ But most of all, one thing that I got that was easily the most useful part of the whole experience was support and community.

As a solo founder, it’s extremely lonely, whether you’re seeing wins or struggles.

Not too many people in my life really “get it”
8/ Growclass gave me a place to celebrate my wins, and share my struggles and taught me how to measure and learn from my failures.
9/ So if you’re on the fence, the program was a HUGE investment for me, and was a hard pill to swallow, but I wouldn’t be where I am today without it.
10/ In my first cohort, I had 3 students paying $250 each.

In my second, I had 10 students paying $400-525 each.

Today I’m about to close my next cohort starting on Saturday January 9th with 10 students paying $650-750 each.
11/ So my initial goal of getting 10 extra students over the next year (at $250 each to justify the $2500 CAD cost of @growclass).
12/ Instead what happened is my program changed and grew and I met my goals in different and much better ways!

Largely due to my shift in language and copywriting and how I talk about my programs (which is language I now use on my sales calls too).
13/ So if you’re on the fence, take a look and try to ask yourself “what outcome do I need to justify buying this course” and coming up with a plan for yourself.

You won’t regret it!

Feel free to DM me for any more info!

Hey, for people interested in this stuff, here's a thread about a change we made to running our facebook account:

So, about 5 years ago, we got on facebook. Why? Well, facebook has a big audience and they like to consume on facebook. So, we started posting comics there, even though we got paid nothing and facebook made money off the free content.

Why? Because back then, once in a while, you would say "also hey, I sell books" or "hey, I'm going to be signing at this event" and your facebook followers would actually see it.

Effectively, the implicit old arrangement was "facebook lets me reach readers efficiently, and I supply facebook with free content they run ads on."

Over time, like a bad business partner, facebook basically made it impossible to reach your audience without *paying them*. Thus, you supply them free content on which they run ads, and you get nothing in exchange.

Storytelling is a superpower.

A key to unlocking growth in your writing, startups, marketing, business, or career.

THREAD: 10+ principles of effective storytelling (that you can start using today):

Clarity of Purpose

The best storytellers always define a clear purpose prior to crafting their story.

What is the story trying to achieve? What does success look like with this story?

Commit to answering these key questions before doing anything else.

Define the Audience

Every great story begins with a well-defined audience.

Who is the audience? What do they consciously (or subconsciously) want from the story?

Be deliberate with this exercise.

Be honest with yourself. The audience may look different than you expect.

Establish Structure

“People have forgotten how to tell a story. Stories don’t have a middle or an end any more. They usually have a beginning that never stops beginning.” – Steven Spielberg

Stories need structure.

Clear narrative arcs (like Pixar’s “hero’s journey”) work well.


The Story Spine

Playwright Kenn Adams created a neat framework - “the story spine” - for establishing structure:

Once upon a time there was [blank]. Every day, [blank]. One day [blank]. Because of that, [blank]. Until finally [bank].

Fill it in and watch your story take shape.

Physical things that influence your personal brand.

-Thread.

This is going to be a very different thread from the ones I’ve done before on personal branding. People are looking for people who they can proudly advocate for and recommend, hence in today’s economy

you’re the most important touch point of your product / service and this is why personal branding is important. In previous threads I’ve spoken on the fundamentals to building a personal brand, here I want to share a few things that influence your personal brand.

1. EARS: The things and people you listen to influence your actions, behavior and character.

2. MOUTH: How you say what you think says a lot about how you feel about yourself and how you treat others. Do you leave room to be teachable? Listen as well as you speak? Your destiny is dependent on what you say.

Hey #EconTwitter: For the first time in 20 years, I am not spending my first week of January at the @ASSAMeeting. It's a weird feeling; I've always enjoyed showing off new books, connecting with friends, and talking with economists about new ideas 1/25

As with so much else, #ASSA2021 will be a new (hopefully one-off) experience; and even though I'm not standing by a booth in a sub-basement of the Hyatt Regency Chicago, I'd like to introduce you to some recent and forthcoming books in #economics from @yalepress 2/25

First up is CAUSAL INFERENCE: THE MIXTAPE by @causalinf. The short description is that this is a toolkit for economists and other social scientists to untangle cause and effect, but this book is so much more than that 3/25


It is a labor of love by @causalinf; a guide through one of the most important ideas in economics; and an indispensable "second book" for any econometrics course. It is also the only book you'll ever see that has been endorsed by both @JustinWolfers and @officialyoungmc 4/25

If you've used the online version of the Mixtape in the past, this edition is wholly revised and expanded, with coding for both R and Stata. An HTML version will be accessible at https://t.co/QSvOJb0HSG. You'll want the physical book as well; they are complementary goods 5/25

How to Sell Anything Online

-A Thread-

Retweets appreciated!

Guaranteed 🔥🔥🔥🔥

1) Set Goals in Writing

- Before you sell anything there needs to be a plan.
- Create the plan and make your goal BIG!
- You are not just an designer, writer, marketer, programmer. If you are in this sales industry you are supposed to close deals. This is the end goal.

2) Establish Trust

- Can you sell things without trust? Sure. will you do it consistently, NO!
- Pay attention to everything. Use all the information.
- Take your time building the sale. Your client is not in a rush and if they are, slow them down. Lead them. Be yourself.

3) Build Value

- Be an expert in your field. Show them why your product is the best. Don't tell them, SHOW THEM!
- Be a trend setter. DO NOT be like every other salesman.
- People want a good deal, so help them find one. But do it on your terms.

4) Identify a Need

- If there is no need then you have little chance to sell anything.
- QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS. QUESTIONS.
- Ask them... mean them... listen to their answers. Listen to what they aren't saying. Pay attention to EVERYTHING!

Lately there have been various rumours in the media about myself and Jumbo in relation to Williams. To clarify things, Jumbo is not and will not invest any money in my career. 1/2

Of course we’re collectively looking at career opportunities, however this is certainly not our philosophy and strategy. I hope to announce my future plans soon, be patient 😉 2/2

Unfortunately the "This work includes the identification of viral sequences in bat samples, and has resulted in the isolation of three bat SARS-related coronaviruses that are now used as reagents to test therapeutics and vaccines." were BEFORE the


chimeric infectious clone grants were there.https://t.co/DAArwFkz6v is in 2017, Rs4231.
https://t.co/UgXygDjYbW is in 2016, RsSHC014 and RsWIV16.
https://t.co/krO69CsJ94 is in 2013, RsWIV1. notice that this is before the beginning of the project

starting in 2016. Also remember that they told about only 3 isolates/live viruses. RsSHC014 is a live infectious clone that is just as alive as those other "Isolates".

P.D. somehow is able to use funds that he have yet recieved yet, and send results and sequences from late 2019 back in time into 2015,2013 and 2016!

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

Do you know?

The Golden Shine on the artificial jewellery of modern times is a gift by Nagarjuna.

Now,u might be wondering,who is Nagarjuna?

Nagarjuna was the name of an ancient Indian scholar&scientist whose name is associated with the fields of Alchemy,Chemistry& Metallurgy.


He conducted a number of alchemic and Metallurgical experiments directed towards transforming base elements into Gold.
According to Eduard Sachau's Alberuni's India, Nagarjuna was termed as a Metallurgist who was born 100 yrs before Alberuni's time, who was born in 973 CE.


According to some records Nagarjuna was born in 9th century CE near Somnath,Gujarat and according to some Tibetan & Chinese sources he was born in Vidarbha,Maharashtra from where he later migrated to Deccan region.


Edward Schau quotes in his book,'They have a science similar to Alchemy and Nagarjuna is famous for this science which they call as 'Rasayana'.

Nagarjuna's book 'Rasaratnakara' is one of the earliest documented texts on Alchemy,Chemistry & Metallurgy in Sanskrit.Nagarjuna successfully discovered through his experiments the alchemy of transmutation of base metals into Gold.This was not real gold but a gold like substance.
