One of the brightest minds in Twitter belongs to @shl.

Sahil is a master of product building and value creation.

For it, he must know how customers behave as well.

I dug into his tweets looking for gems.

And yes, I found them.

Here are 7 lessons by @gumroad's founder 👇
1/ Trust First, Sales Second

You won't build an audience just by sharing your affiliate link.

Trust precedes sales, 100% of the time.

- Share your expertise
- Teach your audience
- Entertain them with stories

Be a friend first, a salesman second. https://twitter.com/shl/status/1225060759417212928?s=20
2/ People Want Specific Solutions for Specific Problems

These days a Jack of all trades has virtually no power.

You want people to remember you when they think of something.

Just like @david_perell for writing or @jackbutcher for visuals.

Stand out. https://twitter.com/shl/status/1254160492601290752?s=20
3/ Use Consistency & Social Proof

Social Proof: People want to do things they see other people doing (so they buy).

Consistency: People want to be (and to appear) consistent with previous actions (so they buy again).

Use them. They are powerful.

4/ People Say ≠ People Do

There's a huge gap between these two.

People that want to do something go out there and do it.

People that do not just like to pretend they are going to.

Learn to differentiate both. https://twitter.com/shl/status/1251758656632152065?s=20
5/ Authority Leads to Freedom

Everyone has a unique set of skills. Including you.

From it, share publicly:
- What you think
- What you know
- What you are learning

Slowly you'll become an authority out of it.

Start today.

Enjoy freedom tomorrow. https://twitter.com/shl/status/1238134649752186880?s=20
6/ It's HOW you say it.

Make your content more enjoyable!
- Stories
- Analogies
- Teachings
- Experiences

Your audience will take more from it that way.

You will become more memorable to them. https://twitter.com/shl/status/1229168522162397184?s=20
7/ Social Proof... YES, AGAIN

Seriously, there's no easier way to sell.

Who will people trust more?

The creator? Or other customers like them?

Exactly.

Remember the 3 R's:
- Ratings
- Reviews
- Results

Use them more. https://twitter.com/shl/status/1221840217771888640?s=20
Bonus/ No one will remember

People are awful remembering.

Stop tormenting yourself.

No one cares.

Get out there and create! https://twitter.com/shl/status/1217814893723734021?s=20
