2 builders who never spoke to each other

Keep the account on one subject until it moves

An account that changes topic every few days gives nobody a reason to follow it, because the next post is unpredictable. Narrowing to the specific painful problem your offer fixes, publishing nothing broader, and holding that for a couple of months is what turns readers into people asking to pay.

The method

1. 01

   Hold to one subject on social until you have traction, and only broaden the topics after the account is already moving.

2. 02

   If you present yourself publicly as an expert in one field, keep posting in it: opinions on unrelated subjects send mixed signals to the people who followed you for the expertise.

3. 03

   Post only about the narrow painful problem your offer fixes, not general advice about the category it sits in.

4. 04

   Expect roughly two months of narrow, proof-led posting before strangers start approaching you asking to pay rather than asking to pick your brain.
