Been having a lot of success with this format lately The formula is an Obvious scam text, but with the implication that I fell for it

Hi everyone, I've been following Charlie for a little while, and I recently purchased the How to Post guide. I'm interested in learning how to write online and, hopefully, turn it into a side business. I already write in my spare time, but it's mostly about history, religion, culture, and anthropology. Right now, I'm currently working on a book about the history of different religious movements. Parody is a bit different from the kind of writing I usually do, but I'm excited to learn and give it my best shot. Great to meet you all!

it's always the dumbest stuff that goes viral. I was down the shore with my fam and I laughed to myself about the whole "market price" thing on menus one night while we were at dinner, so I fired this off: https://x.com/chrisorzy/status/2068787907599507818?s=20 Didn't generate any new business, obviously. but now Im only ~500k impressions away from being monetized, so that's pretty cool, I guess

Had another one of these longform stories hit this weekend https://x.com/chasedownleads/status/2071243437374845264?s=20 Here's my rough process for writing these: - find a real, cringey post to parody (LinkedIn Lunatics account is a good place to start) - open up with some dramatic sounding first line (it's best if you slip the word 'billionaire' or some large sum of money in there) - make the 2nd or 3rd line some ridiculous detail that has nothing to do with the actual story (the spaghetti kiss part, in this case) - break it up into as many short lines as possible for dramatic effect - story ends with someone having a name that isn't actually a person's name

Just cancelled my membership. It's been real. ✌️
