Quick Detour for my sponsors today: ROKU

(It’d mean the world to me if you click the ad links.
Doesn’t cost you anything, but it’ll add $ to my revenue from them)

As with any digital ad campaign, the important thing is to reach streaming audiences who will convert. To that end, Roku’s self-service Ads Manager stands ready with powerful segmentation and targeting options. After all, you know your customers, and we know our streaming audience.

Worried it’s too late to spin up new Black Friday creative? With Roku Ads Manager, you can easily import and augment existing creative assets from your social channels. We also have AI-assisted upscaling, so every ad is primed for CTV.

Once you’ve done this, then you can easily set up A/B tests to flight different creative variants and Black Friday offers. If you’re a Shopify brand, you can even run shoppable ads directly on-screen so viewers can purchase with just a click of their Roku remote.

Bonus: we’re gifting you $5K in ad credits when you spend your first $5K on Roku Ads Manager. Just sign up and use code GET5K. Terms apply.

1. Create quality, purposeful content → not “content for the sake of content.”

2. Stop posting infomercials → you’re not selling carpet shampoo.

3. Phrase your posts like you’re writing to someone, not at the internet.

4. Analyze what performs well… then do more of that.

5. BUT also create what you enjoy or you’ll burn out in 4 days.

6. Show personality. Robotic posts die fast.

7. Ask better questions the ones you actually care about (from your daily life).

8. Don’t chase trends that don’t align with you.

9. Drop opinions and experiences, not just observations.

10. Add humor. Human relatability > Algorithms.

11. Pull content from your everyday life (content is everywhere).

12. Share the messy life sh*t → it’s relatable.

13. Celebrate small wins → let people cheer for you.

14. Share losses → let people support you + learn from your mistakes.

15. Connect with accounts that care about their community.

16. Stop chasing people who don’t give an F.

17. Stop eating pineapple pizza.

18. Be kind… non-negotiable.

21. Post what you would engage with.

22. Read your post out loud before posting. If it sounds annoying… rewrite it.

23. Share lessons, not just achievements.

24. Write for the reader → they are the star.

25. Avoid walls of text. The X attention span is 0.69 seconds.

26. Use formatting that doesn’t make eyeballs cry.

27. Don’t trauma dump at 3AM. (Do it when your audience is active.)

28. Stay curious. Ask the questions you want to learn from.

29. DM people you genuinely vibe with.

30. Stop overthinking every post. 90% of your BANGERS will be accidental.

31. Build a community you actually like hanging out with.

32. Let your content evolve as you go. You’re not a pre-written sitcom character.

33. Take breaks. Burnout ≠ consistency.

34. Don’t treat your audience like peasants. Gratitude looks good on you. 😉

35. Stop comparing yourself to people 900 days ahead of you.

36. Never copy someone else’s tone… you’ll sound like their alt account.

37. Share your story. People follow the person, not the posts.

38. If you’re bored writing it, they’ll be bored reading it.

39. Talk like a human, not ChatGPT 2019.

Last but not the least….

40. Unapologetically be your true self. THAT is your cheat code.
