How to Meet Random People
–
Buy everyone you see a drink and before they’ve even
taken a sip, ask them to come home with you.
99 out of 100 people will say no but 1 person will
eventually say yes. Congrats, you scored.
That’s how traditional advertising works. It’s
expensive and guarantees a minimum result.

Don’t be these guys

How to Make Friends
–
Approach only people that look compatible. Curiously
connect around common interests.
Ask them for their number and call a few days later. You
scored. Call again, connect again. Score again.
That’s how digital marketing works. It takes more
work and takes longer, but now you have a
relationship.

Everything Creative has a Formula
–
Every movie you’ve watched and every song you’ve
listened to was built on a formula.
Feed your audience engaging content, incentivize
them to participate, then make them an offer they
can’t refuse.

Stop going for one-night-stands
and start making friends
