FF #028: How to get your content to standout in a sea of sameness

How To Get Your Content To Standout In A Sea of Sameness. What's going on {NAME}. Welcome back to Friday Fire where I share one actionable tip, tactic, or strategy to help you build your one-person online bizness. An idea hits you like a bag of honey crisp apples. Ooo this is gonna be a good one. You can feel it. You sit down at your desk and open LinkedIn... You type the words… "Want to get more people to engage? Provide more value." You hit post. You breathe a sigh of relief and lean back in your chair. "I’ve done it. Content… PUBLISHED!" But then… the sad part. You wait. And wait. And wait… No one engages on your post. No one reaches out. Nothin. "Wtf did I do wrong?! I posted content. I told them to provide value. Isn’t that valuable?!?!" Here’s the truth… Your content isn’t hitting because you’re saying the same shid as everyone else. Surface level material that brings nothing new to the conversation. I literally just saw a tweet that said if I want to be healthier... drink more water. Ok thanks for that lol realll insightful stuff there buddy! Strive to be DIFFERENT. Different is better than just being better. Here are 3 ways to do that... #1 - Personality. Notice how I use my own slang? And have my own vibe + way of talking? The way I write is my personality. It’s close to how I am in real life. No one is better than YOU at being you. It’s funny when people try to imitate my stuff. My vibe, slang, offers, sometimes even my emails word for word. What they’re really doing is sending people to me for free lol. Because you can't beat me at being me. Come up with your own slang. Your own way of talking. Your own vibe. Your own swagger. Let your personality rippp. #2 - Who. Last night I was talking to a guy who helps specialist doctors setup new patient acquisition systems. We're at an event in Nashville and he closed a $150,000 client while here. First of all... damn son. Second... I took a look at his content and it's basic marketing+sales principles. The main difference is WHO he's talking to. The specialist docs he works with didn't go to school for marketing and sales. They went to learn how to be a doctor. So when they see content from my new friend... it's new and different to them. They eat that shid UP. Changing your "who" can have a huge impact on getting your stuff to stand out. #3 - Your background. Look at all the people you follow and engage with. Why do you follow them? Why do you engage with them? Is it because they post "tips" and generic info all the time? Or do you follow them for who they are and their background? One of the people I follow is my mentor Travis Sago. Sure he posts great tips... but I don't follow him for tips. I do because of the stories he shares... his experiences... opinions... unique perspectives... All things he has from decades in bizness. You can't fake this stuff. But if you have it... use it! Share more of your background. Give people a reason to listen and engage with you. === So those are 3 ways to be different and get your content to standout in a sea of sameness. Being different is better than being better. You can use these 3 strategies to do that. Alrighty... That's it for today's Friday Fire action section.

A Mother's Love is certainly one of my favorites, too, because of all the messages I get like this one. Click the button below to take a look inside A Mother's Love: It's about an interesting creature... a lonely Yeti, who's living in the snowy mountains all by herself, hoping for some company... Here goes: "If you're looking for some fun, or maybe even a friend, go up to the mountain to the path's end. There you'll find the Yeti, who lives all alone. She'll make you feel welcome in her snow-covered home. So pack up your gear, go slow and steady, the fun's just begun because the Yeti is ready!" This fun poem is from a new book called The Yeti Is Ready... And it's given my kids a new perspective on friendship & acceptance!" Click the red button below to take a look inside The Yeti Is Ready: You will rejoice to hear that no disaster has accompanied the commencement of an enterprise which you have regarded with such evil forebodings. I arrived here yesterday, and my first task is to assure my sister of my welfare and increasing confidence in the success of my undertaking. I am already far north of London, and as I walk in the streets of Petersburgh, I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight. Do you understand this feeling? This breeze, which has travelled from the regions towards which I am advancing, gives me a foretaste of those icy climes. Inspirited by this wind of promise, my daydreams become more fervent and vivid. I try in vain to be persuaded that the pole is the seat of frost and desolation; it ever presents itself to my imagination as the region of beauty and delight. There, Margaret, the sun is for ever visible, its broad disk just skirting the horizon and diffusing a perpetual splendour. There—for with your leave, my sister, I will put some trust in preceding navigators—there snow and frost are banished; and, sailing over a calm sea, we may be wafted to a land surpassing in wonders and in beauty every region hitherto discovered on the habitable globe. Its productions and features may be without example, as the phenomena of the heavenly bodies undoubtedly are in those undiscovered solitudes. What may not be expected in a country of eternal light? I may there discover the wondrous power which attracts the needle and may regulate a thousand celestial observations that require only this voyage to render their seeming eccentricities consistent for ever. I shall satiate my ardent curiosity with the sight of a part of the world never before visited, and may tread a land never before imprinted by the foot of man. These are my enticements, and they are sufficient to conquer all fear of danger or death and to induce me to commence this laborious voyage with the joy a child feels when he embarks in a little boat, with his holiday mates, on an expedition of discovery up his native river. But supposing all these conjectures to be false, you cannot contest the inestimable benefit which I shall confer on all mankind, to the last generation, by discovering a passage near the pole to those countries, to reach which at present so many months are requisite; or by ascertaining the secret of the magnet, which, if at all possible, can only be effected by an undertaking such as mine. These reflections have dispelled the agitation with which I began my letter, and I feel my heart glow with an enthusiasm which elevates me to heaven, for nothing contributes so much to tranquillise the mind as a steady purpose—a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. This expedition has been the favourite dream of my early years. I have read with ardour the accounts of the various voyages which have been made in the prospect of arriving at the North Pacific Ocean through the seas which surround the pole. You may remember that a history of all the voyages made for purposes of discovery composed the whole of our good Uncle Thomas’ library. My education was neglected, yet I was passionately fond of reading. These volumes were my study day and night, and my familiarity with them increased that regret which I had felt, as a child, on learning that my father’s dying injunction had forbidden my uncle to allow me to embark in a seafaring life. These visions faded when I perused, for the first time, those poets whose effusions entranced my soul and lifted it to heaven. I also became a poet and for one year lived in a paradise of my own creation; I imagined that I also might obtain a niche in the temple where the names of Homer and Shakespeare are consecrated. You are well acquainted with my failure and how heavily I bore the disappointment. But just at that time I inherited the fortune of my cousin, and my thoughts were turned into the channel of their earlier bent. Six years have passed since I resolved on my present undertaking. I can, even now, remember the hour from which I dedicated myself to this great enterprise. I commenced by inuring my body to hardship. I accompanied the whale-fishers on several expeditions to the North Sea; I voluntarily endured cold, famine, thirst, and want of sleep; I often worked harder than the common sailors during the day and devoted my nights to the study of mathematics, the theory of medicine, and those branches of physical science from which a naval adventurer might derive the greatest practical advantage. Twice I actually hired myself as an under-mate in a Greenland whaler, and acquitted myself to admiration. I must own I felt a little proud when my captain offered me the second dignity in the vessel and entreated me to remain with the greatest earnestness, so valuable did he consider my services. And now, Margaret, do I not deserve to accomplish some great purpose? My life might have been passed in ease and luxury, but I preferred glory to every enticement that wealth placed in my path. Oh, that some encouraging voice would answer in the affirmative! My courage and my resolution is firm; but my hopes fluctuate, and my spirits are often depressed. I am about to proceed on a long and difficult voyage, the emergencies of which will demand all my fortitude: I am required not only to raise the spirits of others, but sometimes to sustain my own, when theirs are failing. This is the most favourable period for travelling in Russia. They fly quickly over the snow in their sledges; the motion is pleasant, and, in my opinion, far more agreeable than that of an English stagecoach. The cold is not excessive, if you are wrapped in furs—a dress which I have already adopted, for there is a great difference between walking the deck and remaining seated motionless for hours, when no exercise prevents the blood from actually freezing in your veins. I have no ambition to lose my life on the post-road between St. Petersburgh and Archangel. I shall depart for the latter town in a fortnight or three weeks; and my intention is to hire a ship there, which can easily be done by paying the insurance for the owner, and to engage as many sailors as I think necessary among those who are accustomed to the whale-fishing. I do not intend to sail until the month of June; and when shall I return? Ah, sister, how can I answer this question? If I succeed, many, many months, perhaps years, will pass before you and I may meet. If I fail, you will see me again soon, or never. Farewell, my, excellent Margaret. Heaven shower down blessings on you, and save me, that I may again and again testify my gratitude for all your love and kindness.
