How do you do Learn in Public Strategy?

  1. 1.Pick a topic you're learning and commit to sharing one insight per day or per week. Platform doesn't matter — Twitter, LinkedIn, blog, YouTube, or just telling a colleague
  2. 2.Use the 'explain it to a 10-year-old' test: if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. Teaching reveals your gaps
  3. 3.Don't wait until you're an expert. 'Today I learned...' or 'I'm confused about...' are perfectly valid posts. Beginners teaching beginners is incredibly valuable
  4. 4.Create 'learning exhaust': notes, summaries, how-tos, mistake logs. This creates a personal knowledge base AND helps others on the same path
  5. 5.The compound effect: after 6-12 months of learning in public, you'll have a body of work, a network of fellow learners, and opportunities that came to you instead of you chasing them

How long does it take?

15-30 minutes per learning share.
