About this episode

E411: I just gave this advice to my friend Vova, who’s today starting a new brand. He’s posting daily videos growing a new audience.

I originally told him #9 from this new Shaan Puri post, “#9 - MrBeast’s 100 video rule.”

Then realized the whole thing - all 9 rules - is worth sharing.

In the past 5 years, Shaan Puri’s built audiences of:

- 500k+ newsletter subscribers. - 400k X followers. - 500k+ YouTube subscribers. - 100,000,000+ total downloads of his podcast.

Here are his 9 principles for how he did it.
