Do you like eggs?
I know I do. Not as much as bananas of course. But I love some good eggs.
They’re great. You can put them in everything. There’s not a single meal on earth that doesn’t get better when you add an egg. Hell they’re even used in cocktails as well.
But why am I talking about eggs?
Well I’m subscribed to quite a few email newsletters. And one of them caught me completely off guard. The mail opened with the following question: Do you have enough chickens to make an omelet for breakfast in the morning?
Well no I thought. I get them from the store. Like most people. Why would I need chickens?
But that wasn’t the point. The mail goes on to explain how having enough chickens to make an omelet is like having enough marketing power to sell your product/service.
I’ve seen my share of crazy analogies in the past. But this one I didn’t expect.
So let me enter this game and start making my own analogies. One even crazier.
I asked you if you liked eggs at the beginning of this email.
Imagine if you said no. You don’t like eggs. But do you like pasta? (the type with eggs in it). Do you like a frittata? How about Shakshuka? Tortilla? Hollandaise sauce? Quiche? Egg fried rice? Pancakes???
Everyone likes pancakes.
My point is. You don’t have to like every single ingredient to like the recipe. Switch it up. See what other recipes you can make with that ingredient. There’s bound to be something you like.
I once knew a guy that said he didn’t like tea. I asked him what kind of tea. He said “just tea”. What do you mean you don’t like “just tea”? Tea is water with a taste. It can almost be any taste you could imagine. Tea doesn’t even have to be hot. Cold tea exists as well.
Anyway.
It’s the same when it comes to building your creator business on Twitter.
Imagine you don’t like engaging all that much. Have you tried posting different types of comments?
Instead of being all serious and sounding like you have something smart to say. Experiment with sharing your own experiences in the comments. Not your thing either? Try making jokes related to the tweet. Turn every tweet into a philosophical lesson about bananas (my favorite).
I’ve even seen people use the main idea of a tweet as inspiration to write a short 280-character poem. If it works it works.
Focus your attention on what you like most. Don’t say something isn’t for you if you haven’t tried all the recipes yet.
Now go out there and find your favorite recipes. Don’t be the person who doesn’t like tea. Be the person who LOVES a few select egg recipes.
If you like to know more about marketing and how the original analogy went with having enough chickens. Be sure this subscribe to Adam’s newsletter. He’s a great marketer and knows what he’s talking about.
