Keccers push/pull strategy for early growth On social media There are 2 ways to use any social media A push: creating new top level material; the artist, a “creator” A pull: pulling meaning or insight out of what others have shared; the reply guy At the start, for an unknown, it is usually not enough to do just one to gain a following. You have to do both, and be good at both. Imploring people to “create more interesting content” is generally true but usually neglects one side or the other. So a person who pushes out beautiful things but neglects to ever pull may feel insulted by this advice but it really means they need to thoughtfully engage with others as much as they thoughtfully create. It IS difficult objectively We want to believe that the work should speak for itself. And you know yeah it should. But that is not the world we have created so learn to live with what we’ve got. Good work alone is not enough. It must be a part of a greater web of attention and relevance

How do you handle the mental side? Like, say you want to create, and you have little interaction that you see with the things that you create, on the other side, you interact with others creations of what they’re putting out there and you feel like you’re unheard. Sometimes that can take a mental toll I think.. how do you manage that? (I think these days I just go about life by putting what I think is cool out there, and if it hits, that’s a bonus, if it doesn’t, I’m just happy I put myself out there) But I do wonder about the mental side sometimes.

It is uncomfortable for me to even acknowledge I am being perceived. Maybe that mental advantage in some way. In my head no one ever reads even though at this point it is patently untrue I think you have to believe or concept this as like: your job is to be yourself and be ready for your people to find you. Take ego out. You are building a long term record that compounds. The metrics are byproducts not goals

Indeed, I agree. Seems like it’s more of an inward focus to keep track of your personal goals, and your personal progress. I think knowing that you’ve been consistent with what you’re doing is better than any leaderboard. But, the metrics just come along for the ride.
