Who let the dawgs out 🐕


Sept 9th, 2023

Hey Reader,

Yesterday, my dog Bronnie pooped round the corner from my house.

Twice. But I didn’t have a 2nd poop bag.

This old lady stormed out like a Viking holding a broom stick ready to shove it down my throat.

“I’ll be right back, I live up the road.”

She waited. And watched me with eagle eyes as I did the deed.

Lesson?

Stop accumulating an audience. Start accumulating a reputation.

Don’t be the guy who leaves the poop flying around. Be the champ who collects it.

How the hell are you going to spin this into value, Jacob?

I signed up for value, not dog shit.

Hold up champ.

It birthed the “Digital Dissection Dogma”.


Dogma, in Greek, means a system or belief that is true.

Bronnie ➡️ Poop ➡️ Dogma - makes no sense.

But when life gives you melons, learn to get ideas from the deepest dungeons.

Now, let’s show you how to make many micro snippets of value from 1 long form post.

Write a long form post, or record a video.

I recorded a video on "how to get clients".

Go as deep as you can on 1 concept. This is the seed.

Break each topic into content buckets.

Example. In the video, I touch on:

  • partnerships
  • word of mouth,
  • sawdust
  • testimonials
  • getting your first client

Now you've got the trunk.

Dive deeper into dissecting the content buckets into branches.

Example. "Getting your first client" touches on:

  • Doing free work
  • Getting reach
  • Turning it into paid work

Then outline the content types and assign them to each branch.

Example: Single image, text, carousel, tweet, post, reel, newsletter.

Bonus: Repurpose. A tweet (1,661 views) read out loud turns into an Instagram reel (720 views). Magic ey? I literally read that off my screen.

Bonus II: Redistribute. The same tweet, on LinkedIn (6,062 views) & TikTok (342 views).

Bonus III: You could take that branch, and run it through last week's email - the treadmill.

Rinse, repeat for every topic. Holy fuck-shit-melon-guacamole.

Now, Reader, here's the raw diagram I made after I shot the YouTube video.

This took me to the promised land.

If there's one take-away, I'd like you to put in your back pocket:

Plant the seed. Digitize the trunk. Dissect the branches.

I told you we'd make gold out of a bunch of dog shit.

Remember. Influence comes from impact, not impressions.

PS. I'm picking 1 person who responds with "MELON KING" to do a carousel together on LinkedIn in the coming week. We'll pick a topic. Write it out. And do a call to go over it. That'll give you exposure to a 30,000 audience. As a thank you for being part of my melonverse. Because I want you to fucking win.


Thank you for reading Reader,

I’ll see you next Saturday. Your #1 fan,

Jacob "your neighbordhood dawg" Pegs
