Day 1 of following a morning routine!
I’ll keep it up for a week and then evaluate!
Ok, so it was supposed to be 5 minutes, but I had so much fun brainstorming the ideas below! I did it for an hour haha.
Ideas start to flow after 15 minutes or so, so I think this is great for my business and my brain.
- Why do people follow certain IG accounts?
- Know what we’ll get from the account. e.g. cute Frenchie photos. Funny captions. Informative caption about sea life, beautiful images of travel
- It’s like TED. It’s about: T here is knowledge instead; informative content. E here is Entertainment still. We love to be amused. So cute photos, funny or clever caption. D here is something visually beautiful or sexy.
- To be followed, the content needs to be consistent. Mycutestfrenchies will not post animals that are not Frenchies.
- Also, to be followed, it has to be content that people want. What do people want?
- I want: a dose of cuteness, motivational or inspiring ideas and quotes, interesting info, good looking guys, fashion style tips, fashion ideas and inspiration
- Basically something that improves my life in some ways.
- Health, wealth, love and connection. That’s what we all want.
- What would my Knot Theory ring customers want?
- Who are they?
- Probably someone in a loving relationship
- Someone active
- Maybe has kids
- Relationship / friendship tips – actual good info; maybe partner with someone.
- Motivational quotes about relationships and love
- Ring fashion – we’ll do a lot of good photos
- Will they like photos of couples? Maybe a little bit but not too much.
- Beautiful people wearing Knot Theory. Men and women. See which one gets more likes. Activities include:
- drinking coffee, tea, smoothies, power shakes
- sitting at a laptop or computer
- working out
- doing cool sports
- travelling
- I bet if we just post zoomed in photos of Knot Theory rings with good filters it’ll gain more traction than it does now, because at least it’s consistent. Gives a good idea of what to expect of the rings. And it generates a sense of “many people” wearing the rings. good inspiration for how to match the rings.
- Action: See what watches and jewellery companies with great following are doing. Find 10 accounts.
- Action: start churning out these photos based on my findings of what works! Hire people. Tina. Airbnb “experience” IG photographers. Pay $10 per photo or less.
- Who are they?
- How to get people to be my sales person?
- Commission doesn’t seem to be a good way. Too old fashioned. Too “greedy”
- Influencer points? (Street cred)
- Donation to a good cause points? Or the option to choose between getting a discount or donating to a good cause? “Choose cause to donate to”, and one of them could be “me”. It’ll be funny.
- How can I get Mike to have a deep and meaningful and fun conversation with me? I like his brain. I like the way he thinks. Maybe there’s a layer of arrogance and contempt and pessimism. But he is different. He is witty and clever. He is hilarious. I want to be more hilarious. I can learn from him.
How can I get him to initiate conversations with me?
What’s stopping him now?
- He is busy with work and this is not as important. Doesn’t make him money.
- He is passive. Doesn’t take initiative to talk to people generally.
- He has lots of other friends that are more interesting to talk to (maybe)
- I have a boyfriend (maybe)
- I don’t seem interested in dating him (maybe)
What is he interested in?
- Human psychology and behaviour
- He was interested in who posted about going to female strip club. I’m not sure why…I think it’s because he is curious about people, but it could be that he likes someone.
- Debating a topic
- What apps might sell. Maybe.
- What stocks to buy. Maybe.
He shares so little about his personal life with me. Maybe he doesn’t want to. He doesn’t ever reach out to me. He always replies. But it could be just out of politeness.
I can try asking him more about him.
How are you? What are you busy with these days?
Sometimes when I think about how little effort he puts into our relationship, I feel that I really don’t want to reach out to him.
The thing is, people who want to reach out are usually less cool. They want to hang out with me but I don’t want to hang out with them. Is it like that?
He does like me though. Just in very small doses perhaps. Like how he thinks Anna-Marie was “too much”, “too energetic”. Whaat. I’m even more so than her!
Everyone is different. Maybe I’ll just let this relation mellow out. I don’t want to, but that’s how he is turning it into. Into nothing.
I can be a very interesting person that everyone wants to be with, but he won’t know, because he has no way of knowing. Unless he checks my IG without me knowing.
Ok, conclusion: I’ll leave him alone for a while. I’ll ask him how he is doing in a month or so.
