Episode notes
Build A Swipe File And Practice Structures
- Keep a swipe file of top-performing posts and practice reproducing their structures with your ideas.
- Swap ideas into proven structures and practice until structuring high-performing posts becomes second nature.
Autogenerate And Test YouTube Titles
- After writing a newsletter, run it through a YouTube title generator prompt to produce 20–30 title options modeled on your best titles.
- Test titles on YouTube and iterate after two weeks to improve view performance.
Deconstruct Newsletters Into Post Building Blocks
- Use a "deep posts generator" prompt to break a newsletter into paradoxes, transformation arcs, quotes, and action steps.
- Treat the output as building blocks to spark and combine ideas for social posts rather than copy-pasting full tweets.
