Last week I got 25 new subscribers, here’s how

---

Not by reinventing the wheel or discovering some secret growth hack Adam Mosseri whispered to me in a lucid dream.

I did it by doing what was obvious.

But before I show you how, let me tell you a story.

Once there was a young advertising man who built a wildly successful career not because he was lucky, talented, or even smart. In fact, he definitely wasn’t the sharpest guy in the room but he was always willing to do the simple things that everyone else overlooked.

That’s because, where you go, whatever you do…

Most other people in the room secretly want to be a genius.

They want to be seen as inventing something new and revolutionary.

They want to be recognized as “looking smart” instead of actually focusing on being smart.

It’s a trick our mind and ego play on us. It tells us that success is only for the lucky, the talented, the quick-witted, and the ultra-intelligent. Well I’m here to tell you that is not so. And that is the same reason why you will see people with half your knowledge and experience successfully monetizing their skills and experience online.

The reason is because they’re not getting bogged down by the all-too-common problem that secretly haunts every intelligent expert across the globe, far and and wide. That problem is called…

The Curse of Knowledge

It’s where we forget that the real secret to success in life is to take what’s complicated and make it simple for others.

Anyway, all to say… while everyone else is in the brainstorm room trying to out-expert each other, our successful young advertising man has already shipped his ad, made the sale, and made his way home for dinner.

But how?

Fast forward to me sitting at my desk two weeks ago.

Overcomplicating everything in my business when by now you’d think I should know better.

I had this idea sitting in my notebook for at least a year. In fact, I’d already teased the idea on Threads months ago and gotten good response but never created it. The concept was simple, all I had to do was assemble a few successful posts I’d already written, record a video breakdown of how they work. And compile a few short questions that make it easy for readers to get similar results for themselves.

In the end the whole thing took just a handful of hours over a single day to complete the process from start to finish.

But over the past few months I kept putting it off because I wasn’t sure whether or not it was going to bring the right kind of people into my business or not.

How silly. Instead of finding out for sure, I got all wrapped up in “looking smart” instead of being smart and just running the experiment.

But on this particular morning I thought of our young advertising man.

His name was Obvious Adams.

And suddenly I began to realize that I don’t need to be the best, the smartest, or the wisest.

I just need to do what’s obvious. And in the lead up to the re-launch of my Legendary Writing Guide, the easy and obvious thing to do was to finally put the Viral Storytelling Guide out there and see who’s interested.

So I did.

And the result was 25 new subscribers in a single week.

It’s not that I’ve never gotten similar results or even better in the past, it’s that now I’ve finally realized that if I just continue to do what is obvious, hopefully I can match that, or do even better week after week, month after month, and year after year.

So that’s my new goal.

Do what it takes to earn 25 new subscribers (or more) each week and show you how I’m doing it so that you can do the same.

And you can see how to do that for yourself inside the Viral Storytelling Guide.

You’ll see more of that inside the upcoming update of my Legendary Writing Guide.

And you can look to Obvious Adams, and you can do what is obvious by applying the original 15 Legendary Writing Secrets to your writing starting to today by grabbing the original Legendary Writing Guide using the link below:
