Write 100 Posts First

A framework for becoming a successful content creator by focusing on getting reps in before seeking growth advice. The approach emphasizes practice and improvement over quick wins.

Core Philosophy

• Write 100 posts/pieces of content before asking for growth advice
• Most content will be bad at first - this is normal and expected
• Focus on getting better with each piece rather than immediate success
• By post 100, creators typically know what they're doing wrong and what needs improvement

Why This Works

• Forces creators to develop their own style and voice
• Provides necessary repetitions to improve craft
• Helps identify natural strengths and weaknesses
• Eliminates need for external advice early on
• Creates foundation of experience before optimization

Real World Examples

• Mark Manson used this approach for blogging

  • Started with poor content
  • Gradually improved through repetition
  • Eventually reached millions of monthly visitors
  • Led to bestselling books and career success

• Mr Beast applies similar philosophy to YouTube

  • Advocates making 100 videos before seeking advice
  • Focuses on iterative improvement
  • Values practice over perfection

Key Benefits

• Filters out non-serious creators
• Builds authentic voice and style
• Develops understanding of medium
• Creates foundation of work
• Reveals natural talents and interests
• Provides real experience to learn from

Implementation Tips

• Focus on completion over perfection
• Make each piece slightly better than the last
• Don't worry about immediate growth
• Trust the process of repetition
• Use natural voice rather than copying others
• Learn from doing rather than studying

The framework essentially states: don't focus on growth strategies until you've put in the work to master your craft through repetition and practice.
