“The tragedy in this line of business [being a founder] is that if you're any good, you're only going to learn by trying what you think you should do. The job is essentially to be in disagreement with what most people say. That's how you make real big companies — by doing something despite what people think is the right way.” - Ben Rubin (Meerkat, Houseparty, Towns)

There's a saying that goes... "It's not what you know but who you know." which I think is true but the further I get in my career, I realize the following to be even more true... "It's not what you know or who you know, but who knows you and what you're capable of" One interpretation could be how sharing your story, thoughts, and expertise online increases the surface area for luck to happen to you.

[post continued] I’ve been publishing online for nearly 15 years, and some of the of the people who follow me have seen me grow from the kid who just got into college, to landing my first real job, to working at LinkedIn, to going on a National DJ Tour, and all of the miscellaneous side projects along the way. I’ve had countless job offers, reverse hiring pitches, and even helped my last startup raise a seed round of funding by tapping into my network (long live Crave It). I’ve also used my online presence to drive thousands of downloads for that startup, grow my podcast to 10k downloads in 4 weeks, and sell hundreds of thousands of tickets for DJ gigs. Having an online presence is a superpower. I hope this post prompts you to get started (or double down if you’re already doing your thing). https://www.internetempires.com/p/your-lifelong-distribution-engine

Your personal brand is your lifelong distribution engine. Whether you choose to start a newsletter, build a social presence, or host a podcast, the medium is totally up to you. But you have to start putting yourself out there. Especially if you’re a builder, creator, or entrepreneur. One of the biggest problems founders face is user acquisition. Yeah, you can build an amazing product, but how do you get the word out? Paid marketing is getting more expensive. Growth marketers can be tough to hire (especially if you want someone with years of experience in your specific niche). My recommendation is to keep an active, steadily growing personal online presence. This way, you can funnel your audience to whatever projects you’re working on at any given time. This will also deepen the relationship with your online community since they’ll see your progression over time. [see rest of post in comments]

My episode with the King of Memes, Jason Levin is live. Jason is an entrepreneur, viral creator, and comedian. He runs Memelord Technologies - the go-to meme editor, and quite literally wrote the book on the subject, "Memes Make Millions". We cover: - Why Jason quit his full-time job 6 months ago to build a meme empire - How Jason created a software product as a non-technical person - How Jason manages running a software business, an agency, and his online presence - Advice on how people can make their content more fun and engaging - How founders can use memes to make more money (or acquire users) - A major growth hack that Jason is using on X right now & much more My favorite quote from Jason: "We're in the age of infinite leverage." Find "Internet Empires" wherever you get your pods.
