In the past six months @david_perell has tweeted 3,000 times.

I combined all of them together and distilled the content from 320 pages to ten. The result is a summary of his big ideas, in three parts...

The internet rewards people who are prolific
The internet rewards people who think well
The internet rewards people who are different
The internet rewards people who are domain experts
The internet rewards people who are curious and ambitious

Write online…
It’s the seed of entrepreneurship
It’s one of the world’s biggest arbitrage opportunities
It’s how you show curiosity, commitment, and diligence
It’s how you get compound interest on your ideas

A massive audience is waiting for you

Write everyday…
Write down your epiphanies

Be differentiated…
Find your unique obsession
Be known for something
Be the only person who does what you do
Build a personal monopoly (a unique set of skills)
Use that monopoly to teach

Be a conscious consumer…
The best content is getting better
Have self-control in a world of abundance
Ignore daily news (it limits your rate of learning)
Skip newspapers (read books instead)
Read old books
Obsess over your favorite writers

In general…
Make things (to learn faster)
Read outside your industry (think originally)
Learn from great teachers (not experts)
Make yourself lucky (create value, tell people)
Make creative space (if you want to make things)
Study creators (watch how ideas spread)

In general…
Don’t be original (build on the ideas of others)
Curate (good taste is a business model)
Compete against history (not people)
Be anti-mimetic (copy people who don’t copy people)
Forget scale (find your tribe)
Put practice first (and theory second)

Find the rest here...
