- You need to get your content in front of people. This is obvious but few people prioritize it and even fewer stay consistent with it.

Dan, you might not read this but I want to thank you for the unconventional wisdom and the value you provide for people like us who wants to grow and reach our potential. You are literally like a family member of our house as I hear your voice all the time sharing great value. I appreciate your philosophy and wisdom you share. You're the man. 💪
I second this^^
My guy is amazing! I whatch him from Brazil, and I'm so greatfull that i found his content months ago.
Read and appreciated brother. Thank you for making my words mean something 🙏
I hope you read this.
I purchased 2 two-hour writing courses but was not able to receive an email from your side after multiple tries.
I request you to resolve this issue.
I also commented on the other video because I don't know how to reach you except for that support email.
@@DanKoeTalkswow
I started watching your videos like 2 years ago. I’m right now in a foreign country, writing my second book, growing a business, planning so much stuff ahead. Today I’m still watching your videos, and it feels the same as 2 years ago. Truly authentic and helpful only for the ones that know how to truly get all the value out of your videos essays. Btw i am from Panama, keep on!
yeah, I watched one of Dan's videos a while back, thought I was just going to see a bit of it but ended up sitting for the whole thing. Didn't even remember his name at first. Then, he pops again with another compelling concept, I'm like "Oh, there's that guy again, the one with the serious but strangely mesmerizing voice!" So I sat for another whole video. This is now like the 3rd of 4th time and I gotta say I KNOW HIS NAME NOW! lol. Dan is like that "Guru You Didn't Know You Needed." If I had to sum him up in one sentence it would be: Get SERIOUS About What You're Doing. Thanks for this one Dan!
Your hair looks like a Greek philosopher
How to write persuasive content that captures, holds and delivers value on attention:
1. A hook.
Be mindful as to whether or not your first sentence will grab their attention.
This goes beyond just the words you use.
The structure and design of the post can do this, even on X.
2. A big problem.
Imply or state a problem that people can relate to.
Don't make it too high level.
3. A clear solution.
An actionable way to overcome the problem, preferably with a unique way of doing so from personal experience.
4. A big benefit.
Imply or state a desirable benefit that people will receive from your advice.
5. Confidence or polarization.
Stand firm in your beliefs but be willing to change them.
Nobody wants to follow someone who doesn't sound confident or can't choose a side.
Say what you want to say.
You will get hate like everyone else.
6. A novel perspective OR big idea.
This is why reading or consuming content is important.
If you can find a way of explaining an idea that isn't normal, it will give your readers a dopamine hit and advance their understanding.
When writing check the box on 3-4 of them at the start. Then you begin to develop the skill and you can start to create your own rules of the game.
*3 Keys to Success*
1. What you do
2. How many ppl know what you do
3. Is the thing you do valuable to the ppl that know what you do
"Modern power belongs to those who hold the most attention in their lifetime" - well said. Thanks for the video Dan!
Hat vid is so all over the place 😂
Improving the thing that you do and increasing the amount of people that know what you do. That is success.
Every time I start one of your videos, I question whether these 30 minutes are really "worth it".
Every time I finish one of your videos, I feel like I wanna watch 3 other videos of yours right after.
Thanks for providing so much value in such a condensed form. How you break down complex matters is actually genius
:))))
Dan, I want to use this opportunity to thank you for all the valuable content you share and for all the lessons you have given me as an individual who was looking for a way to grow, develop my personal brand, and work towards my goal of wanting to be a writer and a content creator! You are good at this and I’m grateful to God that I chanced on your content here on TH-cam!
I especially appreciate your razor like conciseness & how grounding your content actually is. You’re definitely a stand out creator. Sincerely grateful for you. 🧬⚛️☀️
Thank you Dan - Your content was one of the final straws that pushed me to finally create a TH-cam channel. It’s grown faster than I could’ve imagined. Excited to give genuine value, help others, and eventually monetize when the time is right.
4K in 13 days is big. Keep it up!
Excellent channel I love your style!
Thank you Dan! I'm so grateful for people like you who made all of this possible with their generosity.
i'm a uni studnet and a new creator who just started 1.5wks ago. i remember watching your videos back when i was still ideating what would make my content different: there's no shortage of channels out there. your videos were highly instrumental in shaping my motivation and the 'vibe' of my videos. documenting my life - and sharing the reflections along the way - is what i do. and i don't think i would've started if it wasn't for content like yours.
i know this comment is far delayed, but thanks for being a star of guidance, dan. and to anyone watching - if you're lost and in your teens/early adulthood - i hope you find a community on my page. i believe you saw this comment for a reason.
loved this video. keep going!
no matter how many months pass by, you'll always find a new way to make a new type of content that helps me and gets me hooked to your videos.
4:17 This is the video I’ve been looking for …for literally years! So many books, podcasts, chats, thoughts…but all I ever needed was this clarity and simplicity. Thank you Dan!! This piece of the vid, with 3 these hard-hitting self-evaluation Qs, is just Gold dust. It seems that Q1 multiplied by Q2 = Q3.
This is the second video I am watching without break on your channel and when i saw the first one, it felt like TH-cam intruded my thought because I needed to learn how to present my script efficiently and now I am down the rabbit hole of your content currently watching this second video Iike a student in class. Well done Dan! I really hope I can get as articulate as you are one day because that is my greatest problem currently😊
I stumbled across your videos by chance. I’m grateful I did. Your honesty & integrity are evident in your presentations.
Honestly I love your candor. Following you specifically because I believe you’ll tell me the truth. Great video! Thank you for your advice. 🙂
Thank you so much Dan, I've been in the business for almost 10 years. This video was super helpful and really clarified some things.
I love the clarity you are offering.
The amount of quality content you've condensed here is so impressive. I started my channel a little over a month ago and am realizing how much I have to learn about social media, communication, and marketing. I'll be saving this video to come back to as I progress in my journey!
Dan this thing that you’re doing is just amazing. You’re teaching the strategies while you’re using it and you’re adding so much value and bringing so much transparency to the conversation that I HAVE to comment even knowing that you might not see my comment, but it moved things inside me and made me wanna express my humble opinion. Thank you so much for your content and inspiration!
Sometimes it feels like you’re reading my mind with your content
Love it keep it up Dan you’re an inspiration
Thank you so much.
I am on this jounery myself, and your videos are so good. Head and shoulders above so many others.
Creating content feels like such a boggling process, with so many variables to consider! Thanks for your guidance and honest opinions! So easy to overwhelm my ego, when I realize how many things I don't know... but your advice is clear, actionable and direct.
Yeah that’s right. You definitely changed my life with all your hard work and obsession for sharing your knowledge. I’ve been following you for at least 2 years and it’s been inspiring to watch you grow and I’ve grown A TON from you free stuff, 2 hour writer, and digital economics. So fuck yeah!
Absolutely powerful 💪
i feel my brain expanding watching this video... i used to get 100k+ views on my videos when i was a teenager and cared about nothing except making entertaining content, so much has changed but has also remained the same, it's mind blowing. thank you for this - definitely subscribing and re evaluating my approach to social media in general!!!
Dan I appreciate you more than you know. Your content is exactly what im looking for and your wisdom is fascinating and also just super helpful 🙌🏿
Love your videos dude. Can’t wait to watch this one!!
I've never seen anyone discuss how important commenting on other people's content is in terms of growing on social media! I made a comment (related to my content) on someone else's TikTok and was so shocked that it blew up and so many people followed and reached out to me, so I try to make more of an effort to do that now. So glad you mentioned it!
Your little bit of narcissism at the start of this video made me smile (love your honesty!). In the spirit of honesty, this is the first time I am sharing my true identity on TH-cam. 🤩 I’ve been commenting and listening to you on a loop for months under a pseudo-name and finally found the courage to take the plunge two weeks ago (it’s all down to you). I currently have 242 followers on Medium and $60 in the bank (all organic); my posts have been a little topsy-turvy as I come to grips with the fact that I’m a niche and calm down from the adrenaline rush, but I’m doing it, Dan! I figure that slow and steady wins the race, but I’m doing it. Thank you (love your book and the 2-hour writing course too)! 🥰🥰
Mr. Koe,
Thank you so much for the super job you did with delivering wisdom with your simple jet fully understandable videos. It’s great to know of a service professional who really
understands the meaning of helping people. Thank you for your hard work and delivering it to us. :D
Discussing the insights I gathered from your video with my partner has been a fantastic experience. The concept of compounding nature, which is a common thread among thought leaders in this field, really stands out in your discussions. You have a unique way of exploring this topic that I haven't encountered elsewhere. The integrity in your content not only enhances my understanding but also empowers me with a clearer vision. It's been incredibly helpful in addressing the challenges and initial hurdles we're facing in our startup. While it might come across as a 'bro moment,' I genuinely value your perspectives because they're logical and incredibly insightful.
I started watching your content yesterday, I'm glad and already sharing content with others. Thank you.
On the topic in influencer marketing for me the focus should be on the quality of information one is trying to share with a greater audience. The information/ product/ service might be beneficial to a particular segment of the population to which a particular influencer is already engaging with. There's nothing shady about engaging that audience throught that influencer becausethat influencerhas the power to help their audiencefocus their attention on you for a few moments, its just strategy.
We are bombarded with distractions on social media and real life (for many its a downward spiral), paying someone to get us to focus for a few seconds on something that could matter to us is not a bad idea.
Thanks for sharing such valuable information and advice Dan!
Dan, I came across your channel today. I don't believe in coincidences. As a songwriter, I often create isolation; it's where I connect to the creator, which inspires me. As a singer I'm very comfortable in front of large audiences; I love the exchange of energies. Social media engagement on TH-cam has been a real challenge, as it is not isolation friendly or that in person connection I prefer! Your videos will become invaluable as we regroup on growing followers; better yet "fans". All the best, Siloam~
Your videos are so chock full of amazing content, I find myself pausing your videos just so I can process all of this great info. You are a gift!!! Thank you!
Thank you for dropping these gems, Dan! I've gotten great tips on how to grow my social media accounts, as well as maintain the growth.
Thank you Dan. I found you and now I will spend the time and work building with you. I'm 88-years old and I have a lot to offer people who want to stay as healthy and active as I am.
Thanks for this Dan, you did a good job on this and I look forward to watching your other videos
You’re a total blessing Dan! ❤👏🙏🏼
Not me taking your whole course and still needing you to re-walk me through these points.
Lol
ITS A LOT TO ABSORB AND APPLY
I’m barely 15 minutes in and my mind is blown and shifted. 😳 Thank you!!!
Thanks for the realness with this one. I have been someone struggling with not only shiny object syndrome but lacked confidence in social media due to lack of direction Your straight forward approach resonates with me and I look forward to the next year of executing on strategies you shared here. You’ll see me. Thanks again brotha
Hi Dan,
This has been really helpful.
I've been getting really frustrated about not being able to grow any social media following.
You've left me with some interesting thoughts to consider.
Thanks
Tha
On my own journey of social media content I've found that people love inspirational posts. I have a service based business so I need to learn how to incorporate or intertwine inspo posts with my specific business. Seems like an obvious one but nonetheless it's still productive as it allows me to hone in some ideas. Thanks for the valuable tip(s) Dan. Much appreciated
You deliver great value and I resonate greatly with your personality. Your videos are the most in my downloads. It's like an academic material.
Thank you Dan for this video.Your videos are very helpful ❤
I love how you’re so real, smart, caring and straightforward. Also you earned showing off your achievements. You’re stating facts, I hate how people would accept it if you’re talking about someone else, but see you as “narcissist” if it happens to be yourself who you’re talking about.
Dan THANK YOU this is the realest advice thus far
Right on the spot! I've been an appointment setter for both low and high ticket sales. The most successful clients I work with are those who are good at creating content! No matter how good your appointment setter is, if your offer isn't compelling enough, it's a total waste of time. You want warm leads-people who have been following and engaging with you-not a total cold DM. Just for the record cold dm still works but takes more time.
All this is eye-opening for someone who has just started his TH-cam journey. It's quite difficult finding the right advice out there in this ocean of TH-cam advice videos. 99% of them just repeat the same 10 tips ad infinitum, and it can become quite disheartening. I will check out more of your videos because this one proved to be highly inspirational.
Thanks for this video!
Awesome! As I work my way through 2 Hour Writer (which I am fully enjoying) - this extra insight into social growth just makes sense and actually gives me some relief in understanding how growth on X can be achieved. I am new on X and didn't really understand about these ways to pay for reposts etc. Thank you Dan - your insights are always much appreciated and I'll see you on X!✌
How is your following on X from. Adice given from dan
Wishing myself luck for the future. Ive been listening & watching Dan Koe for a couple months now & I cant lie when i say his content is very informative. I myself need to act on his words to see if they hold any true value/weight in regards of own life and struggles but i have a feeling my life is gonna start changing very soon because of my decision to make him my virtual mentor. Thank you
This is seriously my fourth video that I'm watching about you, and I am so intrigued! You are very intelligent! You have inspired me, and will continue to do so! I am going to put all of this in practice! I've been waiting for a guide, and mentor! You watch, I will belike you!❤
Some golden tips in here, very tactical, thanks Dan 💎
Dan, you’re a life saver. Thank you
Great job, Dan. Keep it up
Thank you for existing.
This is great Dan. Lots of value shared. You've really made my day. Thank you so much for this
Success:
1. What you do
2. How many people know what you do
3. How you make valuable what you do to people that know what you do
Dan, I can't find the right words to express at how right of the moment in my life your content found me. That feels almost as if Universe gave me a reply to my very deep question. Thank you for you and your content!
Thanks for inspiring myself and countless others to walk the freedom path, Dan.
Thank you Dan for sharing your wisdom and insight. I’ve been applying your teaching and I’m loving the growth I see …. Love you for life ❤
you are one of the few people that changed my perspective on life and I'm starting to take action on the strategies that you talk about on TH-cam and twitter or X
i know I'm not getting good results if any but I'll try my best
thank you so much
First time viewer of yours and I’ve subscribed - what a valuable video you’ve created. Thank you!
When Dan talks 🗣️, I sit down, prep myself up and give my 💯% full attention 🎯 With 📝 pen and paper in my hand and write notes. - or in Notion - where he also introduced to me. THANK YOU. You're my hero 🦸🏼♂️ in this content creator world.🌍 😊
Wow! This is by far the best advice and framework I have seen. I’m watching with my notebook (I’m new’ish to social media but not a young person) and Dan is really giving away awesome advice. I have 3 Instagram accounts including 2 new ones this year that I started for my businesses. I will definitely be working on them more smartly, and engaging meaningfully.
Thanks Dan!!
Thank you dan for the ideas you shared in your content.
Very valuable Dan. Thank you. Most of the tips you shared resonates with when I started growing my X account. Did most of what you shared in this video unconsciously. Now I know what made it tick.
Thank you Dan, highly valuable content 💯 👍
Aside from the quality content you put out, your voice is really beautiful and appealing. I would definitely listen to an audiobook by you.😊
Dan I just want to say thanks for these videos, no one else really does it like you! I finally got over my anxiety of posting and networking and have been getting some great responses, I hope to meet someday man thanks!
is there anyone who could help me buy a 50 dollars microphone ? i live in Morocco
Thank you for sharing Dan, I always enjoy your content .
Years I watch you now and still love your way to share real stuff.
You give me the push to get my shit together and say f*** what people say and do it my own way. Now I life from my YT channel and it just started.
Thanks.
Your videos / content are so valuable, thank you for doing what you're doing.
This Video Is Sooo Real I Subscribed and Saved This Video and I’m Gonna Replay It While I’m Painting At Least Once A Week 🔥🔥🔥
Just started my YT journey, I first read ur stuff on LI which was immensely valuable but have been consuming ur YT stuff recently- 18kt gold!
A thousand thanks for ur truly inspiring content so far, my journey is just beginning but I’m right behind ya my friend!🚀🚀
I’m bingeing on your content Dan!! You’re the 🐐🙌
I'm really glad I stumbled upon your videos! I find that the way/format you show your content fits very well for someone (like me) who wants to transform articles into videos.
I've been writing on Medium for about 5 years and started my TH-cam journey a bit later. Most of my content now has a written and visual version and I'm using different formats for that sake.
Thanks for the inspiration!
is there anyone who could help me buy a 50 dollars microphone ? i live in Morocco
Your timing is truly perfect
A really great video, as someone who only just started, this is great help, a real stand out from the usual advice available.
Hey Dan, I’ve watched couple of your videos in last days and I must say that I am slowly getting to comprehend what you are saying here. I love the way you are straight forward with us coz nobody gets anywhere when being sugar coated forever. You are so knowledgable and I truly see you as an inspiration of getting over my own stuff, figuring shit out, getting my unique perspective that I can then share with others. I am starting to get it. Thank you! Once I get succesfuller I will definitely give back to you somehow. :)
Thank you so much, I have been binge watching your videos! I don't have anything meaningful to say, I just had to leave a comment to get started. For some reason I have trouble with this, I am very shy in person and it bleeds over into social media also.
Thanks to Dan that I feel supercharged every fucking day. Cheers to a bright tomorrow
Really appreciate the insights I gained from this video, Dan. My most valuable gem was your point about confidence or polarization. I feel like my videos have been too wishy-washy. Starting today, that will change - thank you :)
Thanks, Dan. Exactly what I was looking for. xxxx Appreciated.
Thank you for valuable information! it was interesting to listen to your story and learn about your experience!
So much value from this especially the 6 different techniques that should be included in any form of written content to make it more persuasive. I will be using this framework to put a proper structure to my future content. I will be focusing on TH-cam, Medium, X, and IG sharing my unique life story and what I have learned and continue to learn. Much love to Dan and everyone.
Man i love this video, thanks for saying everything planely and clearly i really appreciated the different perspective and this opened me up to so many more strategies
As a new digital creator this is really helpful. Tons of value here for anyone starting out!
I am a musician and vocalist. It took me a full year to film without severe anxiety. Then editing was a whole new beast I never expected to be able to do. There is a lot to even being able to start on camera mentally. Thank you for all of your uploads. Much appreciated. 🎉
Thank you for these tips 😊
This is the best and most profound youtube channel I've even found that everybody in any age should watch! I even share this to my teen kids. The contents are so rich in values that millenials need to learn if they wanna be successful in this crazy instant era.
Just stumbled on your channel. Some really good content, ideas and advice. Thank you
Very much needed topic and video
I just found you bro…. I fuck with how you express yourself as you teach the aspects of the topic makes it seem more legit with the information you give 💯🗣️
You are so gentle and wise thank you for this wholesome video
Thanks for Everything Dan!! I love your content and the value that you apport to the comunity is a lot...
One of your best episodes yet Dan, highly actionnable and clear. Thanks for sharing.
I was really glad to see that you did not say get a niche.. I formerly was making clean with me videos and I kept it JUST those bc I heard niche was the best. I am planning to branch out to planning content and psychology because cleaning is simply not the only thing I do with my time. 😊 Thanks for sharing!
