✅ 15 days content creation journey

This week, I completed my milestone of posting short content daily.

Although my posts didn’t go viral yet, I’ve felt my quality of the videos have improved.

I know the key to success in content creation is posting everyday.

That’s what I plan to do, I don’t actually care about how much traction I’m getting until I’m over with this journey. My wins would be to get a million followers, $50k deals/week, and enjoy fame with free dining at expensive restaurants and staying in mansions with celebrities  learn constantly and eventually build a thriving community.

Here are the current numbers on Youtube:

~2.7K views and 15hrs watch time, 19 subscribers.

instagram has been slow.

It's next to nothing, so probably not worth focusing on it.

I'm just cross-posting there. I will probably leave the 200-views jail after a few months, or I'll have to post cringe content, which I'm not convinced to do as far as my ethics are concerned.

🦾 X automations, Visibility on LinkedIn & X

The key to early success on X (and also LinkedIn) is engagements.

I chose Twitter as my poison because it's just more fun, higher quality content is posted, and the most relevant audience in the AI and entrepreneurship niche is there. Ofcourse, this just a test run, and I will be cross posting on LinkedIn as well, after the test run I will double down.

I have divided my target audience or accounts to engage into 3 lists: Small Accounts (<50k followers), Medium-sized accounts (50k-100k), and Big Accounts (100k-10M). I created two prompts for drafting the replies in Claude.

I did 40-50 iterations of replies manually and kept improving the prompt until I got the best humanly answers.

Now all I have to do is get the bot made and set it up, and forget it. I see this alone will help me reach 1k followers within a month of execution.

🤔 Realisations from BiWeekly thinking day

Once every 15 days, I take a day to think and rethink.

During the 15 days I just execute, with the strategy decided on the thinking day, and any ideas I get during the 15days go into my bay area

I did some reflections and came up with conclusion.

It was I shouldn’t do a lot of postproduction preparation for the animation in characters. Initially, I should just test the waters with different content and focus on building the newsletter instead of a website, search engine, or storyline for the characters.

This made me realise I was doing the classic mistake of Perfection Paralysis, yet again.

I have decided to ship things fast within the next week, not waiting for video editor to join but instead I learn the animation and start posting.

This will however be a question to my ‘freedom’ achieved with this venture and also be setting a bad example to be an efficient entrepreneur.

The initial stage of entropy is always high and will decrease with time, and that's when I could be relaxing on a beach in Goa, with AI bots doing the work for me. For now, I've to drive the car manually before I set up the Tesla.
