Engagement
Early reading. We have captured 3 original posts for this account, below the 8 we require before treating a median as settled. The numbers above describe what we have seen so far, not a finished profile of the account.
A typical post picks up 28 interactions against 44K followers, an engagement rate of 0.064%. Posts are seen about 2.1K times each, and 1.32% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 4.81% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 0.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 10% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 11:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 4.3K interactions, about 153x its own typical post. Only 3 original posts have been captured so far, fewer than the 8 posts we want behind a median before treating it as settled. Read the figures above as an early measurement of this account, not as a finished profile of it.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 11:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 0% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 0% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 0% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 0% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 907 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% above the same accounts' other posts.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

most ppl simply do not realize that before fb the internet was almost entirely anonymous. there was very little personal branding, in fact if you went into chat rooms or forums, you had no idea who was who. not only that but ppl were afraid to put in credit cards on the internet (it was considered dangerous). anonymity or at least pseudo anonymity basically built the internet, & it was incredibly fun until fb came along & changed everything. like i was a 10 year old kid building websites, doing heavy ebay arbitrage, selling things, & no one really knew i was 10 years old. it was a beautiful new world, like a new frontier if you will.

I'm hosting a meetup in KL with my dear friend @shauneng this Sunday I really missed doing this since my last meetup a year ago. So I planned something exciting to do with him. Some context on him: He went from a $5 Upwork gig to generating 9 figs+ in ecom and is the co-founder of Evolve, the largest ecommerce community on Skool. We're dropping sauce on how he did it in a live interview. September 20th, 1–5pm in Kuala Lumpur. It's a ticketed event to keep things tight. We also have 20 seats for a private dinner + shisha with me and Shaun, overlooking the Twin Towers Tickets: https://t.co/tsPDoypd7N Can’t wait to see you guys

If I could warn you about only one silent business killer, it would certainly be ADHD. It makes you ditch invisible work for new plans. It plagues ambitious people more than strictly lazy ones because starting something new gives you a high that slow boring work never will. During my own time, I built an ecom community to 100k+ members along with a DS business doing $3-4 million/month. Eventually got bored of them and then I started 4-5 new ventures in parallel instead of protecting what was actually working. I spread too thin trying to chase everything at once while profitable businesses suffered from my lack of attention. Laziness is noticeable and can be fuel for smart work, but this ADHD is incredibly fatal because you confuse it with ambition. The only way out of this cycle is having clarity about: What do I want? Why do I want it? What do I need to do? Run a second business, and you learn that your first business lived or died because of the work and not the idea. It's easy to mistake starting something new for actual progress while execution still remains hard.

People underestimate how far conviction can take them. In 2017, a friend of mine went from “average at business” to nine figures in cash with just one decision. He wasn't the kind of person you look at and say "he will be super successful". But he was really, really good at pattern recognition. At that time, Bitcoin crashed and lost about 84% of its value and everybody was panic selling. But not this guy, he started buying more. Everybody called him crazy, but he was so sure of what he was doing that he went all in and even mortgaged his house. Today he's a multi-nine-figure net worth in cash because of that bet. I asked him later did it feel reckless? He said no, he’d already done the research. He knew where it was going because he studied and researched the market for years. This work helped him form his own unique hypothesis. What stayed with me was his conviction. He wasn't even afraid when everyone thought the market was going to hit 0. Not the loud self-belief kind. The kind of conviction you get from doing the work. That's how I feel about AI. I know I'm early. I know that it's useful. AI doomers are scared of risk because they don't know what's ahead. But you have realise that as long as you take a calculated risk, you don't have to be right every time. You've just got to be right once. That's all it takes.

I've never seen a genius idea beat obsession. People chase ideas and they often come up with unbelievable ones but ultimately the winner is someone who was obsessed with a problem. You can't get lucky with that like ideas and you can't fake it. What you can build is a feel for your own what ifs, the balance between optimism and the right solution. History is a graveyard of outlier ideas that arrived at the wrong time. So it's genuinely hard to time something on purpose, but very possible to develop a feel for it. The way you get there is obsession with your craft. It's what gets you asking "what if there was a solution to a problem I keep running into?" That question is what gets you to something you and people like you actually need, while the obsession is what lets you see where it's headed before anyone else does. "What if there was a better checkout page?" "What if there was a community to actually share ecom strategies?" Both came from things I kept hitting myself when ecom was just taking off, and they became some of the most rewarding work of my life. Many such cases.
