“ How did I just gain 2,000 followers from 1 post, overnight, when yesterday I had 300 followers??? “
This was the reality of online writer Kieran Drew before he learned the skill set that put him 2000 followers ahead of his competition.
Now at 200,000+
The Slowest Year of Life ( and how to avoid it )
“Make your first $1000 online in 30 days”
That was the line that haunted him.
He started to think it was just him, he sucked.
1 year of writing online, and no money made, no big following, the only thing he had was he stuck to it.
“ Think in terms of 2 years instead of 2 months “
Is what Kieran Drew said on a podcast after making several 6 figure launches.
His writing at the time taught advice he didn’t know how to do! Until:
One random night sitting at 300 followers Kieran decides to release a story that added 2000 followers to his account the next morning:
10 years ago, I broke my neck.
Then doctors found a tumour at the base of my skull.
And my spine bent by 56 degrees.
It was the best thing that ever happened.
Here are 10 life-changing lessons I’ve learned:

This is it, he cracked the code.
What not to do: tell generic advice to strangers who don’t care
What to do: tell stories, build curiosity, over-deliver value
And that’s what we are going to break down:
Life Sucked, But I Enjoyed It
In other words, strike curiosity…
In his tweet that added 2000 followers, his curiosity line was:
“ It was the best thing that ever happened “
This makes you wonder how that is even possible, just like the next part of his skill set:
What’s In It For Me?
If you nail this down, there’s no way you won’t explode in growth, and make loads of money.
Over-delivering value is the part that keeps your audience hooked for more of your content.
Simple format: Write less, give more.
I Almost Died, Here’s How
Extreme, but all you need to tell a great story, let me explain.
Who's story would you want to listen to? |
The first one: Nobody cares how you got a hole-in-one! There’s no reason to read…
The second: How could a one-legged golfer get a hole-in-one, and he said it was easy!? I’m hooked!
Now let’s set up a framework to get you writing viral posts:
Pick a topic to write about ( what are your hobbies, who do you want to be, what is something you know more than others about )
Write 100 drafts ( the rule of 100, work in reps of 100, and you will go viral faster than 99.99% of people, use deep work, write for 2 hours daily, no distractions )
Your first line needs to “Wow” the reader ( to stop the scroll, your reader needs to audibly gasp, this is a great starting point, go back to step 2 to refine this )
Curiosity wins attention
( Emotion over logic. )
Example:
Becoming a full-time creator lets you design your day how you like. ❌
Life is amazing when you win back control of your time ✅
Clarity earns followers
Uncertainty is a killer
Example:
I made some changes to my newsletter… ❌
Over the past month, my newsletter response rate has almost 10x’d ✅
Tell a story not a saying ( people connect with people, share your story but give the reader value so there was a reason they gave you their attention )
Repetition beats talent ( like any skill, execution, and consistency are your best friends, if you dont stop doing it, and apply what works, there’s no way you won’t crush it )
These steps work, but you need a strategy to guarantee your success.
So I dug up Kieran’s strategy to hitting 200k followers, generating 7 figures online, and quitting his day job as a dentist to live freely:
On Sunday we cover his exact strategy to achieve this…

Do this for 2 hours daily, and I bet you'll be ahead of 99% of people
