        ship30for30 dickiebush Nicolascole77 Not a newbie writer Amazon is famous for its writing culture, and I enjoyed it. But corporate is not the same as writing online. Following my own advice on bootcamps, I don’t treat this like a shortcut. zekearanylucas/1548246687365246978

      ship30for30 dickiebush Nicolascole77 1) Research skill alignment There is no JD for self-promotion, and it isn't easy for me, but here are my target skills: • Authentic voice (not just for clicks) • Find my audience (as a generalist) • Community building • CBC as a tool • New habits • Analytics

        4) Network and calibrate Looking for more than accidental connections, so deliberately making extra time for the class: • Writing reviews • Coffee chats • Collaboration • Inspiration I am optimistic we can accelerate each other.

          5) Followup projects This one is easy. I already started a blog and podcast, so my followup is really my main focus. But I also fully expect some new side-projects to come out of something immersive like this. Stay open, stay curious! 🥑🥔
