the gist: spaghetti, thrown professionally
guys. my 3-year-old had nightmares last night, so yours truly is running on 3.25 hours of COMBINED sleep. but i promised you what i'm doing daily to win on socials — i.e. this video with 369K views. so. no fluff. let's go!! please note this has been working for 4 days so i know nothing and this is all subject to change at any time!! i make 8 videos every day. all 8 go up as trial reels. the 2 winners get posted to my feed. here's how i pick what the 8 are: i identify my two most recent winning videos. winner #1 and winner #2. then i make two iterations of each:
for example: this was a winner (83K). this was an iteration of it (51.6K). and the other 4 videos? completely new. anything. new topics, formats, deliveries, ideas. throwing spaghetti at the wall, people. here's what i'm learning the game actually is: 1. learning how to extract your own perspective out of yourself case in point: i am trying, over and over, to get a business post to pop. nothing yet. many, many spaghetti throws. but i want to talk about business. so i'll keep throwing until i figure out how people want to consume me talking about it. rinse and repeat, daily. ◼
the part i almost cut: i hate that the iterating thing is working. because my soul desperately wants a "content posting calendar" with everything neatly automated and scheduled and decided. but i'm starting to think those don't exist until you've actually figured out what hits. the calendar is the reward. not the strategy. until then: daily iterating, testing, adjusting.
get ready for more spaghetti. ◼
same time tomorrow: the devastating law of averages for social media

My from-h@#$ pregnancies killed my $2.12M business and my client list with Tony Robbins on it. This time, everything gets built "pregnancy-proof," so my life and business thrive on 60 min/day. Steal the playbook as I build it.
◼ the gist: verdict is still out alright. maria wendt has an instagram ad strategy that goes like this: post organic content if it pops, run ads to it now that content keeps bringing you followers long after the algorithm stops you're essentially making your highest-converting content evergreen. i LOVE this. it feels very pregnancy-proof — pieces from a year ago could still bring me followers, cheap. maria's team is acquiring followers for $0.50–$1.00. which is great, especially if you're...
◼ the gist: my crying prayer maybe this is TMI. sharing it anyway. i recently posted a video about miscarriage. i didn't want to. i felt prompted by God to do it, so i did. it blew up. 72.3K views. then God put it heavier on my heart to talk about miscarriage. 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage, and somehow we still don't know how to talk about it. i guess everyone also eventually dies and we don't know how to talk about that either. trauma is just hard. then a memory of miscarrying came...
◼ the gist: the law of averages is brutal alrighty. first of all: this is unreal. sept 1–13: 1.53M views. +793 followers.aug 17–31: 13,375 views. -1 follower. i'm 25 days into posting for real, REALLY going for it. i don't know everything. but i'm starting to get the tiniest glimpse of how this game is played. the biggest insight? the devastating law of averages. i post about 8 pieces of content a day. the goal is for ONE to pop off. sometimes not even that happens. last friday, the reel that...
