Building an Audience With Whale Bait and Moonshots

📝 How I Got 230,000 Followers With 2 Content Types I have 230,000 followers on X. The growth graph shows the real story of how they came to be. Looked roughly like the picture at the top of this article. Social media doesn't grow linearly. It jumps. You post 1000 times and nothing happens. But then you get 1 post that blows up. And good news: The game is actually easier nowadays. I built my audience when feeds only showed you content from people you follow. (Not stuff that's trending like today.) Nowadays it shows you what's trending more often than what your friends are posting. This means it's much easier to get reach now. And if you connect the dots you're going to realize that's a big deal. Dot #1 (established a few days ago): Financial freedom starts with 7 clients that pay you weekly because that means you get paid every day. So you're really only 7 yes'es away from a massive change in your world. Dot #2: Social media doesn't grow linearly - but in jumps. Dot #3: It's easier to get reach now than it was before. These give you a good idea of the strategy to follow in 2026 (I'm already doing it): Whale Bait. And Moonshots. Whale Bait is content tailored to people who can actually pay. And as we covered, you only need 7 of them on a weekly offer because that means you get paid every day. And Moonshots is content that the 2026 algorithm likes: Whale Bait that gets engagement. This engagement makes Whales click on your profile. And when Whales see Whale Bait already in your profile, that's when you win. This Moonshots + Whale Bait strategy gives you the best of both worlds: A fresh stream of Whales. And content that turns them into clients once they scroll your profile. http://x.com/i/article/20245713204285849…
