CONCLUSION:

GET FAMOUS THEN

GET TWITTER

TWITTER IS NOT A

MERITOCRACY

ACTUAL TIP:

CONSISTENCY

What do we mean BORING?

You think your content isn’t exciting?

You think it doesn’t excite people?

or

It doesn’t get the attention it deserves?

I DON’T EVEN KNOW

WHAT WORKS ON

FACEBOOK

ANYMORE

WHAT ABOUT NON-

BORING BRANDS?

YOU ARE NOT

PIZZA POPS

ACCEPT IT:

THEY ARE NOT LIKE

YOU

WHO IS YOUR

AUDIENCE?

ACTUAL TIP:

WRITE FOR WHOLE

PEOPLE

Frank & Oak

● Make your own sausages, pickles

● Barber shop culture

● Travel diary: Qatar, Cape Town

● Los Angeles longboarding

“What do cool people wish they did?”

(Instead of being on the computer)

DO RETWEETS

MATTER?

Does anything matter?!?

No such thing as Viral

“You have to rise about a certain level of noise

so that enough people find out about [your

content]. And if nothing happens beyond that, it

means the content just didn’t do the job.”

LONG VIEW

WHAT YOU DON’T

GET CREDIT FOR

AVOIDING...

ACTUAL OPINION:

QUOTES ARE THE

WORST

YOU’RE TRYING

REALLY HARD AND

I LOVE YOU
