1 Idea From Others

Mert, HeliusLabs CEO commenting on content creation:

"tip: do not do this

creating content for the sake of creating content or getting followers always results in slop

i) do not tweet for its own sake, have something worth saying

the way to have something worth saying is to have done the work and built up interesting thoughts and knowledge — generally through being a founder but also a domain expert. The only exception is comedy/sh*tposting

ii) number of followers does not matter nearly as much as number of quality followers


iii) reply to interesting people


iv) do not think about creating, reframe it as making observations out loud


v) do not be a p***y, say the things that are true without fear of random people on the internet

vi) get over yourself, no one really cares what you say, and will forget it within 24h max


vii) see i), do not say sh*t just to say sh*t, have sh*t worth sayin"
