One of the fastest ways to improve your marketing:
Study the people who already bought.
- Why did they choose you?
- Why now?
- What alternatives did they consider?
- What almost stopped them?
Your customers are leaving clues.
Great marketers pay attention.

@DougKennedy93 The best leaders know what it's like to be led. That experience is where empathy for your team actually comes from.

A strong reputation creates options.
You can change companies, launch something new, enter a different market or pursue a bigger opportunity.
Your job title might disappear tomorrow.
The trust you’ve built with people can follow you for decades.

@DougKennedy93 Learning to follow teaches humility, empathy, discipline, and what it actually feels like to be led. If you’ve never learned to serve well, it’s hard to expect others to willingly follow you

If you want to be a good leader, you have to learn how to follow.
It’s why I rarely trust someone who says, “I could never work for anyone else.”
9 times out of 10 they’re horrible leaders.

Your best customers should influence your marketing.
Listen for:
• Why they chose you
• What almost stopped them
• What surprised them
• What they value most
Sometimes the market is already telling you how to sell your product.
You just have to listen.

Four hundred years later, the tools changed and the problem didn’t.
A mixed crowd. One pass at your words. The freedom to leave at any moment. Shakespeare solved it with the ghost, the image, the human voice, and relentless attention to what actually landed.

The through-line is simpler than any of the tactics.
Shakespeare never forgot he was writing for actual people who could walk away. He earned their attention every single line, and never assumed he had it.
That humility, that respect for a distractible crowd, is the entire game

So here’s the whole playbook from the master.
1. Write for the whole room.
2 Open on the ghost.
3. Make your words into pictures.
4 Talk like a human.
5. Steal the topic, own the take.
6. Watch your audience like your career depends on it, because his did.

You have the same thing, and better.
Every post is a night at the Globe. You can see precisely what lands and what dies. Most writers ignore that data or take it personally. Shakespeare treated the crowd’s reaction as free research and let it sharpen the next thing he made.

Lesson six, the habit behind all of it: he watched his audience every single day.
He was an actor on that stage. He stood in front of those crowds night after night, watching exactly which lines landed, which jokes killed, which speeches lost the room. Then he wrote the next

That’s permission for every writer who thinks their idea’s been done.
It has. Everything has.
Shakespeare proved the value was never in the raw idea, it was in the specific way you tell it….Your take, your voice, your angle on the familiar thing. That’s the part no one can

Lesson five: he stole almost every plot, and it didn’t matter.
Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, most of his stories were lifted from older sources everyone already knew. He wasn’t precious about originality of material.
His genius was in the execution. The angle, the

This is the trap most online writers fall into.
They write the way they were taught in school: formal, hedged, throat-clearing, trying to sound smart. It reads as dead on a screen.
Shakespeare, the most celebrated writer alive, wrote closer to how people talk, not further from

Lesson four: he wrote the way people actually talk.
Shakespeare came up right as English drama was shifting from stiff, formal rhyming verse toward something closer to real speech.
He rode that wave hard. His dialogue has the rhythm of how people actually spoke, which is why

There’s a subtle craft point underneath this.
Even the words he coined, his audience could understand instantly from context, because they sounded like what they meant. He wasn’t showing off. He was making ideas land on first contact.
Sticky language isn’t fancy language. It’s

Lesson three, and this one’s my favorite: he made words sticky on purpose.
Shakespeare is credited with putting hundreds of words and phrases into print for the first time.
And notice how many are still glued into the language 400 years later.
“Wild-goose chase.”
“Heart of

Look at why those stuck.
They’re concrete. They’re vivid. They turn an abstract idea into a physical picture you can see.
“Break the ice” beats “ease initial social tension” every time, because one is an image and the other is a definition.
Online, the concrete image always

Every one of your posts lives or dies the same way.
The first line is not a warm-up. It’s the whole ballgame. Shakespeare knew that if he opened with throat-clearing, he’d lose the room before the story started. So he opened on the ghost, the storm, the murder.
Open on the

Lesson two: he was obsessed with the hook.
Shakespeare almost never opened cold.
• Hamlet starts with a terrified guard and a ghost.
• Macbeth opens with witches on a storm-blasted heath.
• The Tempest literally begins with a shipwreck.
He grabbed the rowdy crowd in the

So lesson one: he wrote for everyone in the room at once.
The groundlings wanted dirty jokes, ghosts, sword fights, blood.
The nobles wanted poetry, politics, philosophy. Shakespeare refused to choose. He layered his work so the same scene delivered a crude joke and a profound

That’s the online writing masterclass right there.
Your audience isn’t one person. Some want the quick, punchy take. Some want the deep insight. The best posts, like the best scenes, work on both levels: a surface anyone can enjoy, and a depth that rewards the people who slow

And here’s the constraint that shaped his entire craft.
The audience heard every word once. Out loud. In real time. No rewinding, no re-reading, no going back to catch what they missed. If a line didn’t land instantly, it was gone forever.
That’s your reader on a screen, thumb

His audience was brutal, and this is the key to everything.
His theater, the Globe, packed in a total mix of people. Nobles paid extra for cushioned seats. But right in front of the stage stood the “groundlings,” who paid a penny, roughly the price of a loaf of bread, to stand

First, who he actually was, because the marble-statue version hides the lesson….
Shakespeare wasn’t a lofty poet locked in a study writing for eternity.
He was a working man in the entertainment business. An actor, he was a shareholder in his theater company, and a guy who

Shakespeare was, in his own time, a commercial writer fighting for the attention of a loud, distracted, half-drunk crowd.
Which makes him the single best teacher for anyone writing online today. Same exact problem: hold people who can leave at any second.
