Email Copywriting

is social media demonic?


Here’s a tweet I wrote in December 2024:

I constantly oscillate between wanting to build a media empire online and burning all my tech, escaping off the grid and writing books for myself.

I wrote that right around Christmas time after looking at a whopping 3-4 hour daily screen time!

Here I am… a dad of three… husband of one (not a big fan of polygamy)… and I’m giving away 30%+ of life everyday to scroll the updates of complete strangers on Twitter instead of hanging out with my two boys and sweet princess for the holidays.

That’ll jack you up reeeeal nice.

It reminded me of this quote that my pastor says quite a bit:

“IF THE DEVIL CAN’T MAKE YOU SIN, HE’LL MAKE YOU DISTRACTED.”

Oof!

That made me think:

Is social media a demonic thing in my life right now?

Is that the distraction thats taking away from my family, kids, stuff that actually grows my business and such?

MAYBE. 🤷

If you’ve never dealt with this question, I doubt you’ve ever tried to build anything online 🤣

But since that tweet two years ago…

… I’ve made some serious efforts to take advantage of getting dat WiFi Bread as much as possible whilst going “monk mode” in my life.

I’ve done things like:

-- Replace my Apple Watch with mechanical watches (Seiko, Tudor, Omega, etc)

-- Replace Twitter as my “lead generating” platform of choice for YouTube (cause you can post & ghost on YouTube… it doesn’t rely on you spending any time on the platform for your channel to grow)

-- Replace my project management software with a simple notebook & pen (I love Field Notes + Precise V5 Pen)

-- Delete all social media from my phone

-- Install an app on my phone that completely bricks my entire phone from 8PM to 9AM

Aaaaaaand double —NAY, TRIPLE— down on investing in things that grow my email list without having to be social media at all…

Lucky for you, Yours Truly (hiya!) has spend the last month or so writing a 35+ page newsletter on just that!

It's so jam-packed with tactics that I am officially deeming a COURSE IN A CHRONICLE!

Because this monster is truly course-worthy.
