🚀[One Idea Monday #1] Newsletter Relaunch: What’s New?

The Internet Demands Greatness, A Workshop I'm Running, and The Realm of Experimentation

Akwaaba friends,

I’m back with the weekly newsletter. I know, “You have tried this 3 times in the past!” And I know “They all didn’t work out because you’re too creatively chaotic for a weekly deadline.”

So this time, I’ll try to do this a bit differently. In this 4th edition, I’ll share with you:

1. All the good stuff I consumed (read/listened/watched) during the week.

2. 1-2 Cool Idea(s) from what I published that week.

3. Maybe an update from my life (very experimental, tell me if you don’t want to hear it 😂)

It will be delivered to your inbox at 10:00 a.m. every Monday.

Besides all the “brainy” stuff, I hope I can deliver some positive energy for you to start the week 😊

That’s all. Let’s experiment with this together 🧪

🌟 Good Stuff I Consumed This Week

• Blog “The Internet Demands Greatness”: 1 of the best essays I’ve ever read about Entrepreneurship and the Internet. Perfect for Creators and Builders.

  By understanding that people care less about you and your company than you think, it gives you the space to build things that people are truly passionate about.

• Podcast “3 books that made us better YouTubers”: 12 years in the creator game, so Colin and Samir really dropped a lot of gems in this episode. They shared about the importance of an “experimental mindset” as a creator - which is super similar to my blog post last week “Để 1 ước mơ sống mãi”

  Failure isn’t something evil. It is the necessary consequence of doing something new.

• Book “$100M Offers: How to Make Offers So Good People Feel Stupid Saying No”:

  This book changed my perspective on how to choose a market and who to serve, or rather how to serve EVERYONE more effectively. This is probably the most capitalistic book I’ve ever read (more than any economics textbooks I read in college). It is for sales and business people, trying to get rich (that’s it, that’s the sole purpose).

  But it is also SUPER detailed and actionable, the language is accessible, and some ideas are just paradigm-shifting.

  5/5 experience.

✋ Oh wait, before we continue, here’s something cool (for Vietnamese speakers) I have to share:

Tuấn Mon

and I are running a FREE workshop called “Nhà Máy Đóng Gói Ý Tưởng” this Sunday (10/09) at 10 A.M.

It’s how we package ideas into blogs.
It’s a snippet of my favorite lesson in Writing On The Net.
It’s fun and educational, and if it isn’t, I assure you that it’s short :)

We’ll share about:

• 3 phong cách nội dung trên Internet,

• 2 loại “tín” trong bài viết, và

• 1 bài test giúp bạn biết mình nên viết về chủ đề gì

🎯 Bạn sẽ rời khỏi workshop và thay đổi cách mình phân loại và đóng gói nội dung trên Internet mãi mãi.

We have 100 FREE spots open, and they fill up really quickly! Save your spot now:

💡 1 Idea From Me

Để 1 ước mơ sống mãi, bạn chỉ cần không bao giờ cố thực hiện nó là được.

Giả sử bạn ước mơ “trở thành 1 blogger và xa hơn là 1 tác giả sách” đi.

Để ước mơ này sống mãi, bạn chỉ cần không bao giờ viết là được. Nếu bạn không bao giờ viết, bạn sẽ không bao giờ phải đối diện với sự phê bình của công chúng, hay đối diện với sự thật là mình không giỏi như mình tưởng.

Sẽ chẳng ai nói với bạn là “Mày viết tệ thế!” nếu bạn không bao giờ chia sẻ những gì mình viết.

Ước mơ sẽ sống, nhưng là sống ở 1 miền đất bạn sẽ không bao giờ tới được.

“Miền đất của Khả năng” là nơi nhiều người giữ cho ước mơ sống, tới khi chính họ chết đi.

💌 Life Update

• I’m moving to Sai Gon in 2 days!! What are the best things to do/ see/ eat? Please reply and help me make the most of my coming years here 😚

• My team and I just launched the fourth cohort of our Blogging Bootcamp Writing On The Net! And we officially SOLD OUT our first 20 Early Bird offers in 3 days.

  We still have spots for Regular Comer. And the next 20 who SIGN UP will get our exclusive, 80-page ebook about Blogging. So speed up!

• For the past 10 days, I’ve been working relentlessly on this launch. The pressure of being a full-time founder and lead salesman of the only product we’re monetizing right now is immense. I hope to share more about this journey with you in the coming newsletters.

This weekly newsletter 2-month experiment will be in English because of my audience’s votes:

If you only want Vietnamese content, send me an email! (By the positioning of this message, you can tell I’m not expecting any email about this 🤣).

But I’m expecting emails about your thoughts on this newsletter!

• Do you enjoy this format?

• What more do you want me to share about (other than the current sections)?

• And how to make the most out of Sai Gon?

That’s all this week! Thank you! 💖

I’m always grateful for your attention. You could have given it to anything and you chose to invest it with me.

See you next week!
