If your social media feed sucks, you’re following the wrong people and engaging with the wrong stuff.
Yes, algorithms are a problem.
But they’re not the only problem.
Now, on to this week’s ideas…
The Starting Five

2. 40 Newsletter Creators Share Their Best Advice
Including tips on monetization, getting noticed, and engagement.
3. The “Every Day CTA” Strategy For LinkedIn
A 13-minute video explaining an approach that’s led to $7,000 a day in revenue for its creator.
4. How A Newsletter Expert Uses AI To Improve His Newsletter
Without having it write issues for him.
5. A Free Text Behind Image Tool

• Writing is a collection of choices.
• The more emotion you feel when writing, the more powerful that writing will be.
