Clubhouse Transcription Success
Share
A story about how Shaan built his early Twitter following by live-transcribing an Elon Musk Clubhouse appearance.
"Elon was on Clubhouse when Clubhouse was hot. Clubhouse was invite-only and overloaded, so I just went 'for those who are locked out of the Elon thing, here's what he's saying.' I just live typed and transcribed everything interesting he was saying in a thread in real time. I was the only guy doing it.
On one hand, I felt a little silly - I was like 'man, I've become like a professional notetaker on a beta app of Clubhouse, what has my career come to?' And then I saw it was like 7,000 likes already.
It talks about how some people think they need to have this really great insight or amazing perspective, but sometimes you're just providing a service better than others. You're just clipping good content and posting it consistently. People will follow you for that. You can build a huge audience as simply a curator or remixer of content - you don't even need to be an original content creator."
