A message of hope and social media marketing
My youngest daughter is in full-rehearsal mode for her summer show these days. It’s a play involving all her school (first five grades), and the theme song is “Try Everything” by Shakira.
It’s a positive message of hope and perseverance. A song about not giving up and, maybe more importantly, “trying everything even if you could fail.”
That’s what I did here.
The title is bad (it got an engagement score of 33% on this headline analyzer), and the image is even worse, yet, you clicked. (Thank you)
With a title like this, the article has every chance to fail. But I wanted to try.
What if it succeeded and got 80,000 claps like this article titled “Hi.”?
I would love to tell my daughter I got a successful story thanks to her. It would make her so proud and happy!
Not to mention all the Roblox toys she would buy on Minecraft with her commission.
I’m listening to Shakira’s song while writing this article, and she reminds me that even the most famous people tried and failed at the beginning.
Jessica Wildfire is arguably the Queen of Medium (and my oldest daughter’s favorite writer). She now focuses on politics, society, and climate change, but when she started, one of her favorite topics was sex. Her article listing her top posts from 2017–2018 include:
Of course, Jessica Wildfire’s brilliant, and that’s a big advantage, but she was also not afraid to try different topics, formats, and ideas before focusing her talent on “OK Doomer,” her substack newsletter.
Let her inspire us to try more.
In the end, it’s all about what you want to be remembered for. You have to act according to your VISION. Try things! Be fearless, be curious, and above all, be you!
Me?
I want to be inspirational.
I want to bring hope to the millions of online creators (particularly the ones in rich countries).
Is there a better way to make their eyes shine than by becoming über-successful and filthy rich myself?
I don’t think so.
Together, we can do it.
I trust you.
You have what it takes to take risks.
You are bold and courageous.
You’re the type of person who explores new ideas, even if they seem crazy. For example:
- Follow me.
- Give me money.
