It provides the example of Andrew Tate blowing up in popularity by complaining about things his audience hates. The advice is to make a list of common enemies, write down negative things about them, and create content addressing those dislikes.

πŸ“ˆ Mostly talk about unrelated enemies to build your brand

The paragraph further advises spending only 10-20% of content discussing offerings, while dedicating 80% to complaining about common enemies unrelated to your products.

business idea grow a massive brand very

play00:37

quickly online it's a very very simple

play00:40

little uh trick if you say so recently I

play00:44

did a business audit as I do on my

play00:46

channel where I rip business owners

play00:48

apart tell them everything they're doing

play00:50

wrong and I had this guy on who is a

play00:53

coach for fathers and he helps fathers

play00:57

who aren't getting respect in their

play00:58

family who are struggling to lead their

play01:01

family and the name of his brand is

play01:04

Alpha dad and he was struggling to

play01:07

relate to his audience he was struggling

play01:09

to sell and the very first thing I

play01:12

noticed that he was doing wrong was the

play01:15

name of his brand was Alpha dad but all

play01:17

of his marketing all of his language all

play01:19

of his imagery was very passive it was

play01:23

very almost feminine I understand he was

play01:26

from California so I know that's you

play01:28

know kind of just how that goes over

play01:30

there but there's still the other rest

play01:32

of the world that need you to be on

play01:35

brand uh and he was not on brand and so

play01:39

the advice I gave him was you need to

play01:41

look at what your Market your fathers

play01:45

who aren't leading their family who are

play01:47

struggling to get respect in their

play01:48

family what they dislike what they don't

play01:51

like what they hate what makes them

play01:53

angry and you need to assertively talk

play01:56

about that take a look at Andrew Tate

play01:58

what is Andrew Tate always talk about he

play02:01

talks about what the people who follow

play02:03

him don't like like really just sit here

play02:06

for a moment and think back of all the

play02:08

and I'm not saying you should like or

play02:09

dislike Andrew tape whatever I'm just

play02:11

saying the guy blew up think about how

play02:13

he did it he did what I'm about to show

play02:15

you he just did it times 100 if you

play02:18

watch his content you'll notice every

play02:20

single thing he says is basically

play02:23

talking about something that his

play02:24

audience doesn't like and so I had a

play02:26

reel an Instagram reel recently and it

play02:30

got over 2.7 million views and it

play02:32

brought me roughly 10,000 followers

play02:34

based on the data I had another reel

play02:37

that I did on somebody else's channel

play02:38

the School of Hard Knox that got over 11

play02:41

million views and in both Instagram

play02:44

reals I was talking about something my

play02:46

audience doesn't like the one that got

play02:49

2.7 million views I was talking about

play02:51

how people who really have money they

play02:54

don't buy Gucci and Louis Vuitton they

play02:55

don't waste their money on stupid stuff

play02:58

they invest their money okay and a

play03:00

reason for that is most of the people

play03:01

that follow me they're not looking to

play03:04

buy seven Lamborghinis and looking to

play03:08

wear stupid $3,000 sunglasses they're

play03:11

looking to build a business real wealth

play03:15

and not wasted on on garbage okay in the

play03:18

one that got 11 million views I was

play03:21

talking about how the school system

play03:23

sucks about how you shouldn't send your

play03:26

kids to school it's designed to make you

play03:28

poor it's designed to make you an

play03:29

employee now most of my audience are

play03:31

entrepreneurs or spying entrepreneurs

play03:33

and I've noticed that most of them they

play03:35

homeschool their kids they don't want to

play03:37

send their kids to school they're sick

play03:38

and tired of their kids having a bad day

play03:41

and the teacher telling them to chop

play03:42

their Wanger off and uh uh uh become a

play03:45

girl okay it's a very big deal right now

play03:48

you might say well Dan what does that

play03:49

have to do with getting clients because

play03:51

that's what I do I teach people to get

play03:52

clients right getclients.com I teach

play03:54

people to make money with a online

play03:56

business or really any business what

play03:57

does that have to do with school not not

play03:59

sending your kids to school well it

play04:01

really doesn't so much what it is is

play04:04

it's the people who want clients the

play04:05

people who want to build a business well

play04:07

they're entrepreneurial they're

play04:09

capitalist they're I guess you could say

play04:10

conservative leaning they really don't

play04:12

like sending their kids to school they

play04:14

don't like this where the school system

play04:15

is going so I talked about that and okay

play04:20

so the main point here and I'll give you

play04:21

the framework in a second is you want to

play04:24

find out what your audience dislikes

play04:27

both as it pertains to your subject

play04:29

matter matter and as it doesn't pertain

play04:32

to your subject matter right so think of

play04:34

it as let's say that you help people

play04:37

with weight loss and you know that they

play04:41

don't like a certain thing in the weight

play04:43

loss industry you can talk about that

play04:45

but you also need to talk about what

play04:47

they don't like outside of the weight

play04:49

loss industry simply by the nature of

play04:52

who they are and their lifestyle and

play04:55

honestly I would do 80% outside of the

play04:58

subject matter 20% inside of the subject

play05:01

matter if you watch Andrew Tade you will

play05:04

notice that the vast majority of his

play05:07

content does not have to do with his

play05:10

product right he sells some sort of

play05:12

membership site for making money he

play05:14

doesn't talk about that most of the time

play05:16

he talks about getting respect as a man

play05:18

he talks about how feminism is toxic he

play05:21

talks about all these things that really

play05:23

don't have to do with his membership

play05:25

site and then 10 to 20% of the time

play05:28

probably less than 10% of the time he

play05:29

talks about making money he talks about

play05:32

his products very rarely okay and this

play05:36

is the key you build a big brand of

play05:38

people that like you and how do you get

play05:40

them to like you you talk about things

play05:42

they don't like the fastest way to

play05:43

create bond is to have a common enemy

play05:46

and this is the Crux of the whole thing

play05:49

to have a common enemy so here's what I

play05:51

want you to do here is the framework I

play05:54

want you to take a piece of paper and I

play05:58

want you to write in big bold letters

play06:02

common enemy and I want you to write

play06:04

down I want you to think of your

play06:05

audience and I want you to write down

play06:07

every single thing that you can think of

play06:10

that is a common enemy this could be an

play06:12

organization for instance for me it's

play06:15

the IRS right I hate the IRS my audience

play06:18

hates the IRS let's talk some smack

play06:20

about the IRS okay I don't like

play06:23

Traditional School they don't like

play06:25

Traditional School let's talk some smack

play06:27

about Traditional School you see what

play06:28

I'm saying so you need to write down all

play06:31

the things that your audience you know

play06:33

your audience dislikes and you'll

play06:36

probably dislike it too and then for

play06:38

each one of those write down five things

play06:41

that you can say about that thing that

play06:43

is negative and why it shouldn't be that

play06:46

way don't just complain but talk about

play06:49

how it shouldn't be that way talk about

play06:51

the why it sucks try to go a little bit

play06:53

deeper and you will find that people

play06:55

will instantly instantly begin to bond

play06:58

with you they'll instantly begin to like

play07:00

you kind of view it as if you if you

play07:01

walked into a a party right and you were

play07:04

trying to make friends and the whole

play07:06

party was like a Boston Red Socks themed

play07:08

party and you walk in with a New York

play07:10

Yankee shirt probably going to be hard

play07:12

for you to make friends but if you walk

play07:14

in with a Jeter sucks well I'm dating

play07:17

myself I don't think Jeter plays anymore

play07:18

but you get what I'm saying like New

play07:19

York sucks shirt people like oh yeah

play07:23

what's up man right why because human

play07:25

beings Bond over a common enemy they

play07:28

bond over a common enemy find the common

play07:31

enemy and put as much content out as you

play07:34

can basically talking smack about the

play07:36

common enemy I will say Do not name

play07:39

people specifically unless it's somebody

play07:41

that's like I don't know Bill Gates or

play07:43

something like just so famous that it's

play07:46

it's almost like you it's not considered

play07:49

unclassy to talk smack about them but

play07:51

you don't want to name competitors you

play07:52

don't want to do anything like that cuz

play07:53

then you just suck as a person it's not

play07:55

classy and people will look at you as a

play07:57

lowquality human if you do that honestly

play08:00

so don't do that now if you want to see

play08:02

the audit the business audit where I

play08:03

talked about this with this guy I'll

play08:05
