How To Go Viral as a Graphic Designer

I’ve been posting on X (formally Twitter) for around 1 and a half years.

Do you think I knew everything when I started out?

No, and I still don’t.

See this post for example. Why do you think it got over 1,000 likes?

It’s because it solves a huge problem a lot of graphic designers face.

Imagine you could learn everything I know about graphic design within 3 minutes of your time? The return on investment is super high.

And this is how you want to see your audience on X. Everybody needs some sort of problem to be solved.

“But Joe I don’t solve many problems.”

Fake it ‘till you make it. Share some stories that you have (you have many trust me) and speak about what issues you’ve faced as a designer and how you overcame them.

If you’re running some kind of digital product, this is going to help you out massively.

From this you can create a lead magnet - a free product that allows people to receive information about design in exchange for a free subscription to your e-mail newsletter.

I’ve built it up to where I can get 100+ subscriptions per day just by creating a 10-20 minute crash course and giving away for free (it doesn’t take much work).

130+ downloads in one day and all 5 star ratings because the content I post is quality assured.

I got here by being consistent and solving problems.

Not by speaking about peanut butter or whatever the latest ‘money Twitter’ trend is.

Stay consistent and win,
