(highlight:: she never mentioned the most effective social media trick: Write good stuff that people want to read.
That’s because writing good stuff isn’t a hack. It’s hard. It takes time and creativity. It can’t be manufactured. It works, with a near 100% success rate. But it is the social media equivalent of burpees.)

(highlight:: Hacks are appealing because they look like paths to prizes without the effort. Which, in the real world, rarely exists.
A few of the only useful hacks I know:
Marketing hack: Make a good product that people need.
PR hack: Do something newsworthy.
Writing hack: Write every day for years.
Learning hack: Read a book. When finished, read another.
Work culture hack: Trust people and pay them well.
Investing hack: Give compounding the decades it requires.
Networking hack: Email people you admire and ask them out to coffee.)
