I know you want to help people. I do too. I’m not sure why we are this arrogant, but that’s who we are — we might as well accept it, own it, and get really fucking good at it. Helping people with content is a noble pursuit. I’m all for it. But let’s be honest — it doesn’t work well.
I'm going through a thing right now where I'm becoming hyper-aware of how many judgments I have about people's behavior and how much fear I have of expressing those judgments. I suspect it's why I don't make money. I hide all the good stuff behind cryptic, abstract bullshit. I've become a little more obnoxious recently, starting around the beginning of the year.
Could you sketch out what it would look like if I had enough influence to get someone to move from social media onto my mailing list, and then pay money? Like, what would the next step be? If I wanted to convert someone who just sees me as a weird friend who posts weird things on social media into a paying client, what would have to happen?
