It’s 30/08, I want 10k followers on IG by 30/09
The number is pretty arbitrary, but I’m trying to create the frame where I put an unreasonable amount of effort into it and document it all here to keep me accountable.
The goal for the past few months has been to post something online consistently (this blog, some shitty YouTube videos, IG reels, LinkedIn posts) to build the action muscle and get started. Now we focus on growing one channel.
Given the time constraints, I will not be:
- Spending days deciding which channel is best (IG, YT, X, TT, etc)
- Create a bulletproof content plan with pillars, themes… whatever other mental masturbation course sellers say
The approach will be to just ship and iterate.
Required behaviours:
- Post. A lot.

Posted first reel of this push. Captions shit. Music shit. I have speech impediment. Have no idea what I'm talking about. I cringe so hard. Therefore, we continue.

Posted second reel. Captions typo i dont care. Cringe. Need more volume. Should get a mic soon as well. Need to spend on ehour just writing ideas down. Current process is intentionally scroll through a few people posting similar things until I get an idea. We keep moving.

Posted third reel. Captions a bit better tho 2 typos i couldnt be bothered fixing. Speech is a bit better. It takes me 30 minutes of yap to reach an understandable state. Too many takes on my phone. Net +0 followers so far. Keep pushing.

Posted fourth reel. Absolutely crashed after this week. Was considering giving myself an excuse and not posting today. Then recorded a 20 second video of me telling the boys good night. Keep pushing.
