ANECDOTE

Viral Thread Sparked A Community

  • Dickie started Ship 30 after a 30-day Twitter thread challenge where day 29 went viral and grew his followers from 200 to 1000 overnight.
  • He turned that momentum into an accountability cohort by charging $50 refundable if members wrote every day for 30 days.
ADVICE

Start With A Tiny Seed Audience

  • You only need a few engaged readers to start iterating and improving your writing, not a massive audience.
  • Use those early readers' feedback to refine ideas and let algorithms amplify what resonates.
INSIGHT

Publish More To Outsmart Algorithms

  • Algorithmic feeds make follower counts less important and give every post potential upside.
  • The antidote to algorithm changes is publishing more to gather data and find what resonates.
