Why small creators are winning.

Everyone’s chasing reach on X. But there’s a faster way to win: Micro-authority. Small account. Big impact. Zero fluff. And it’s growing faster than you think. Today, I have the playbook that will help you win: The 3-step system to positioning yourself as someone worth working with. It doesn’t require having viral posts all the time or crazy time investment. Just clarity, structure, and proof of value. Most creators treat X like a slot machine... Pull. Pray. Post again. They copy what works...

Gurus can't teach you this.

Most creators post. Few actually stand out. And even fewer get remembered. The secret? They found their voice. This was one of the harder parts of my journey. When I first started writing online, nobody cared. I had smart ideas. Clear points. But no traction. Then I stopped trying to sound like everyone else and started sounding like me. I was able to build my brand and my following... Not by posting more but by finding my edge. This isn’t about going viral. It’s about becoming known. Known...

My 5-Step Authority Builder

Everyone says “just create content.” But no one tells you how to create authority. And without authority, you're just noise. Loud. Forgettable. Scroll-past material.

Just a repeatable process to build digital authority at scale. Why does building authority matter? Build instant trust with your audience Get...

17M Impressions, Leo DiCaprio, & $4.5B (the full story)

I’ve written dozens of high-performing threads. But this one hit different. 26 million views. 2,000+ new followers. 21 inbound leads. Here's the thing: Most creators think virality is the goal. They chase likes. Retweets. Vanity metrics. Virality without strategy leads nowhere. No leads. No conversions. No growth. Just dopamine—and a dead thread in 24 hours (or less). Here’s the exact thread that did it: Ken Guient @KenGuient The con artist who fooled Leonardo DiCaprio. Meet Jho Low. • Stole...

I wasn't always a creator...

In today's letter I'm going to share with you the steps I took to go from being a doom-scrolling consumer to a fully committed digital creator. I've been on this journey for a year and a half and it's been rewarding. The digital world is full of opportunities. Leveraging the internet for more than just consuming was the key. I've gained new skills, and established the foundations for new sources of income. Not to mention, I've connected with some pretty cool people. The that held me back: Too...

1M Views in 7 Days (Full breakdown)

I recently hit 1 MILLION impressions in just 7 days. But 1.5 years ago, I was barely noticed. What changed? It wasn't luck—it was strategic tweaks to my content. I went from struggling for engagement to building a thriving audience. These are tested, proven tactics that deliver real growth. If they worked wonders for me, so I'm sharing them with you. You're creating content consistently but it's falling flat. Maybe your engagement is low, or your growth has stalled. It feels frustrating...

My Formula to Consistently Write Viral Content

Last week I wrote about my post about Elon not being the original founder of Tesla. It went viral and was my most liked and hated post ever. The main takeways from that letter was that in order to grow online you are are going to have enemies. After its success, Dakota Robertson, a 7-figure ghostwriter, broke down why it did so well in our private community. Today, I'm sharing those insights with you. Here's the post in case you missed it: Ken Guient @KenGuient Most people think that Elon...

My best post got me the most hate.

My most liked post was also my most hated. Let me explain... Last week, I shared a thread about Elon Musk. Specifically, how he wasn't Tesla's original founder. It became my most engaged post ever. Ken Guient @KenGuient Most people think that Elon Musk founded Tesla. That's a lie. The real founder was kicked out and erased from history. Here's how Musk pulled off one of the most hostile takeovers in business history: 🧵 8:15 AM • Mar 21, 2025 497 Retweets 1551 Likes Read 117 replies Thousands...

Value content vs Trust content.

Most creators think trust is built by just posting “value.” But value alone won’t make people trust you. Because trust isn’t built on information. It's not built on just expertise. It’s built on emotion. And if your content doesn’t create emotion, you’re invisible. What most creators get wrong: They post. They educate. They “provide value.” And they get… nothing. No real followers. No inbound leads. No loyalty. That's because information alone isn’t enough. Trust is what makes people listen,...

Is Your Brand 'Platform-proof'?

X crashed earlier this week. For hours, posts wouldn’t load. Timelines went blank... Creators, founders, and brands couldn't do a thing. The worst part? This happened multiple times on multiple days. No traffic. No engagement. No way to reach my audience. What if this wasn’t just a glitch? What if X never came back? I know that might be a bit dramatic... But think about it: You don’t own your audience. Platforms own your visibility. One buggy update and you can't access the platform. One...
