8 Brutal Truths About Social Media That Will Help You Grow Faster

Today’s Tip: If you want to grow faster on social media in 2025, study these lessons.

Social media is a game that anyone can win…if you know what you’re doing.

But the problem is, there are lots of gurus, coaches, and mentors that aren’t fully transparent about how things actually work.

All I wanted was for someone to sit me down and tell me what to do.

I couldn’t find this person, so I failed for a while.

To help solve this for you, I made a video breaking down the 8 brutal truths about social media I wish I knew sooner.

After you watch the video, you’ll know why I said I would have paid thousands of dollars to learn these from the beginning.

Don’t make the same mistakes I did.

Here’s a summary of the learnings (explanations and examples) in the video:

• Truth 1: Virality Can Be Engineered

• Truth 2: People Aren't In It For You

• Truth 3: Ideas Matter Way More Than You Think

• Truth 4: Storytelling Is The Lost Art That Builds Cults

• Truth 5: Editing Matters Way Less Than You Think

• Truth 6: Spend More Time On Your Visual Hook
