    The quickest way to build your audience is by sharing original content.

    Don't recycle.

    Reinvent.

        Do you follow the hashtag tip on that site you linked? I am just wondering what happens when you paste the same hashtags to every post haha.

          I would only use a max of 10 # and don't use the most popular ones as your content won't be seen. For example, rather than using #Entrepreneur I would use #businessowner as it's less popular so my chances of getting to the popular page will increase.

    my God what a genius way to market your course. How did you structure your base marketing strategy and how do you apply it to twitter ?

    1. 1

      Thanks, dude.

      My marketing strategy is pretty straightforward. I use a notion to set up all my to-do lists for the week. Morning time is content creation & growth, then in the evening, I will do my sales/ promo work.

      For Twitter, I use the 3 C's - Content, collaboration and consistency.

      Thanks for the recommendation, love the way you can sanity check your #'s... I'm always looking for ways to validate/find more #'s, finding conversations is so hard on social media especially Twitter and is something I want to do more of @paddle.com

        No problem Noah, it is a great tool. Worth mentioning that I wouldn't go beyond 10 # per post.

          Makes sense :) Do you have a recommendation to increase engagement on Linkedin, or find it :)

          1. 1

            Linkedin is very focused on quotes right now. I would recommend start sharing quotes from Richard Branson, Buffet, Vaynerchuck these all do really well.

            Also, personal stories go down really well. The more honest the better the engagement.

              Awesome David, thanks for that insight. I've been trying to understand my audience for some time, this is really nice info who did you come to an understanding that works well?

              1. 1

                No problem Noah.

                I'm always looking at what works and doesn't and what I've learned is the quickest way to build your audience is by sharing original content.

                Don't recycle.

                Reinvent.

    "Don't judge a book by its cover"

    When it comes to getting people to engage with your content the opposite applies..."People judge your content by its cover"

    So always ask yourself "is this something I would want to engage with"

    Title, image and copy all matter equally.
