Episode notes
Tweet With Personality, Not Press Releases
- Use social platforms with personality and memes rather than sterile comms to reach audiences.
- Respect the audience and test voice until you find the concise, sharable tone that travels online.
From Inquiry To Lincoln Project Role
- Keith emailed Lincoln Project founders seeking work because he needed a job and admired their ads.
- He landed a regional communications role, learned on the job, and started tweeting with personality under their account.
Start Now And Iterate Relentlessly
- Start now and iterate: try YouTube rather than postponing; time passes regardless.
- Commit to frequency — Keith grew rapidly after moving from weekly to daily uploads and iterating thumbnails/titles.
