The power of commenting

I'm not going to play with this but I've found some of the most worthwhile connections through commenting.

I'm going to teach you how right now.

See, you can only post once per day (because if you do more than that, your reach will be lower).

However, you can comment 100x per day.

Sounds shocking? Let me give you more shockers.

In one day:

• If you post one time = your audience remembers you one time.
• If you comment 100x = your audience remembers you 100x (or more).

The options are endless.

The more you comment, the more people will notice you.

The more you comment, the more authority you gain.

The more you comment, the more leads you attract.

The more you comment, the more visibility you get.

But you can't comment "good work," or "congratulations." There's more than that.

Here's how you can add valuable comments on posts.

​
Actionable tip

1. Share your personal experience about a topic.​
​
For example:
​
"I can't agree with you more. I've experienced writer's block as well. As you've said, it took me some time to conquer it too. Now, new content ideas are flowing for me!"

2. Add additional value to the post.

For example:

"Along with the great points you've mentioned, here are 3 more points I'll add.

Commenting will help you,

• attract leads
• gain visibility
• build authority

The results will be exponential!"

3. Tell your point of view.

For example:

"I believe that consistency is not enough. We can do one thing for one year. But if you're not learning and applying new things, then there's no point in only being consistent."

These 3 examples are just a few.

You can experiment so much with commenting.

Do this at least 25 times per day, for the next 3 months.

You'll know what I'm talking about.

Grade 4 language

I'm sure you've heard many say,

"Write as if a 4th grader can understand what you're saying."

I agree with that, 100%.

Here's an example of simple writing:

But not just in writing, but in life too.

People today are looking for simplicity. That's why about 58% of them consider themselves a minimalist.

Over the years, the number will get higher (no doubt about that).

If your content is,

• high in vocabulary,
• filled with complex jargon,
• basically not simple enough to read,

people will just scroll past the next post.

Here's a hack I use to keep my language to grade 4.

​
Actionable tip

More than 80% of the time, my writing itself is grade 4.

But if I spot big and cool words in my writing that a 4th grader will not understand I do this.

1. I'll go to the Hemingway App (actually it's a website).
2. I'll copy my content and paste it.
3. On the right-hand side, there'll be "readability," which shows the grade level my content is at.
4. Beneath that, it will show some complex words I can change.
5. Then, I'll have to continue editing until the readability level drops to 4th grade.

That's it!

Especially if you're a founder or an executive, I'm sure at least 70% of the time you'll have to use complex words.

Try to simplify them with this technique and make your content more relatable to your audience.

I'm sure they will love it! :)

👀 Life Tip

Automation

We live in a world where the amount of work never decreases.

You likely have a mountain of tasks, decisions, and responsibilities daily (be it at work or at home).

But there's a better way to manage your workload.

See in those tasks, there are:

• Important and urgent tasks.
• Important and non-urgent tasks.

We can start by automating those "important and non-urgent tasks" so you can take on the "important and urgent tasks" yourself.

Here are 3 ways to automate:

​
Actionable tip

1. Use an email response shortcut.

Come up with a quick template for frequently asked questions (FAQ). Whether it's about meetings or updates, this FAQ can cut down your inbox time.

This way, you’re saving mental energy for critical tasks.

2. Automate healthy eating decisions.

Opt for a meal delivery service or create a weekly meal plan. By automating what you eat, you'll eliminate daily decision fatigue around food.

Less time thinking about meals = more time for deep work.

3. Set weekly recurring tasks in your calendar.

Set recurring reminders for personal tasks like workout sessions or check-ins with your team.

This gives you more mental space for strategic thinking.

Remember, when you automate your schedule, you allow yourself to work on better things that move the needle towards your goals.
