How to Play The Great Online Game
Honestly I don't have a fracking clue where this will go... So Love to hear your thoughts...
1. Why, why now…
Welcome to the beginning of something new and exciting. I'm launching this newsletter because I believe in the power of personal branding, the importance of sharing knowledge, and the value of building real friendships.
Why…
The digital economy has transformed how we connect, learn, and grow. In this ever-evolving landscape, I've found a passion for consuming and synthesizing a vast array of content—from podcasts and newsletters to courses and articles.
This newsletter is a space where I can share my insights, experiences, and the valuable knowledge I've gained along the way.
It’s a place for people who are eager to create a personal brand, explore the one-person business model, and understand the significance of writing in mastering X.
Why Now…
After months of contemplating and gathering the courage to take this step, the moment feels right to me.
The digital landscape is full of opportunities for creators like you and me to take control of our narratives and build direct relationships with our audience. Substack have made it easier than ever to launch a newsletter, grow an audience, and eventually monetize our passions.
The current environment shows me the importance of adaptability and independence.
With traditional media and job markets in flux, more people are turning to self-driven projects to find stability and satisfaction.
Now is the perfect time to leverage these tools and build something meaningful.
That’s why the time is now.
2. What kind of community am I looking to build here
It’s more than just launching a newsletter—it's about creating a vibrant and engaged community. Here’s the vision for the kind of space I aim to grow:
A Space for Personal Growth and Empowerment
This community is designed for individuals who are passionate about personal branding and the one-person business model. It’s a place where we can all share our experiences, successes, and challenges, fostering a supportive environment where everyone can grow and thrive.
A Hub for Lifelong Learners
I envision this space as a hub for those who are committed to continuous learning and self-improvement. Here, we’ll dive into insights from various podcasts, newsletters, courses, and other content, distilling valuable lessons and actionable strategies. Members will be encouraged to share their own discoveries and insights, creating a Jackpot of knowledge.
A Collaborative Network
Building relationships is at the heart of this community. We’re here to support one another, offer feedback, and collaborate on ideas. Whether you’re looking to brainstorm, find accountability partners, or simply connect with like-minded individuals, this community will be your go-to resource.
A Safe and Inclusive Space
Inclusivity and respect are foundational to this community. It’s important that everyone feels welcome, heard, and valued. We’ll cultivate an environment where diverse perspectives are not only accepted but celebrated, ensuring that all members can contribute and benefit from our collective wisdom.
A Platform for Authenticity
In this community, authenticity is key.
Members are encouraged to be true to themselves and share their genuine experiences and thoughts. This is a space where we can discuss not just our triumphs but also our struggles, knowing that honesty and vulnerability are powerful tools for growth.
A Commitment to Daily Writing
Writing is a key skill for success on platforms like X (formerly Twitter). It’s simple but not easy…
Daily writing practice, offering prompts, tips, and feedback to help each other improve. The most important thing here is to write about anything you want, see it as a game and be consistent about it.
Follow up on your tweets, threads and see what gets traction and what doesn’t… It’s because of the feedback you get you can double down on what works.
A Focus on Monetization and Practical Success
While personal growth and community are paramount, I also recognize the importance of monetizing my passions.
My mindset is GIVE-GIVE-GIVE, without expecting anything in return except for you to read my newsletter, give feedback and have fun together.
That doesn’t mean there’s no payed option available… because I’ve learned that if you ask money for knowledge people tend to take it far more serious and absorb the knowledge.
By joining this community, you’re not just subscribing to a newsletter—you’re becoming part of a movement. Together, we’ll navigate the digital economy, build meaningful connections, and achieve our personal and professional goals. Welcome to a space where we can all grow, learn, and succeed.
