Цікава розповідь чувака, який гострайтить твіти для VC. Заробляє $200K, більше ніж на основній роботі в тех-компанії. Каже, що витрачає на це всього 5 годин на тиждень.
В тексті цікаві два пойнти. Як він пояснює необхідність своєї роботи: VC потрібна публічність для отримання кращих угод, Twitter одна з кращих платформ для цього, а гарно писати вміють далеко не всі. І як він знайшов формулу працюючого контенту, процитую (сам бачу багато такого в фіді):
If someone came to me and said, "I want to build my account up to a million followers," there are a couple of different pieces of advice I might give to them. There is something that happens every week that becomes "the current thing," as Marc Andreessen called it. You need to have a take on that thing — and a take on the takes. You need to be reasonably contrarian and also be Straussian about it; encode your meaning in a set of memes that people already understand. You should never say what you actually want to say. Instead, you should make hints and oblique references. Think of it as Playboy, as opposed to porn. You want to leave some work for your readers to do. It can get repetitive, at times. Read the timeline for long enough and you'll start to realize that most of this is just cribbing other people's jokes.
And you need to do this in one tweet. Threads don't work. Images don't work. You need a very tight, expertly crafted 280-character take.
We've been living in the metaverse for 15 years. We live in a technology-mediated reality. There are no facts. Narrative is the only thing that matters. Everything is propaganda.
