The Secret to My Massive Success

Spoiler alert – It’s Glasses

Do you yearn for prosperity but lack the experience or credentials to get it? Have your more educated and better-looking friends passed you by on the financial highway of life? My friend I feel your pain but, even more importantly, I am here to tell you that all is not lost.

Through my comprehensive three-step program I can teach anyone to make hundreds of thousands of dollars with minimal effort as a social media influencer. All it takes is a faulty moral compass and you’ll be bilking the guileless masses in no time!

The secret to my success has to do with the number three. Why? Because the average person is too dimwitted to remember more than three concepts at any one time. You’re not dimwitted are you? Good! Let’s get started!

First, you’ll notice my calm and slightly upbeat tone. It’s reassuring and confident and makes up for my lack of formal training in medicine or law or psychiatry or any number of other subjects that I pretend to know about.

Second, you’ll notice the way I dress. It’s nice but it’s not too nice. You won’t see me in a suit or even a tie like some sort of Wall Street tightass. On the other hand, you’ll notice that I’m not wearing a crusty Phish t-shirt like some sort of hobo. Instead, I’m just wearing a simple button-up shirt, open at the collar to show my viewers that I’m laid back and, yet, still professional.

My third and final secret? It’s asking questions just like that to engage my audience. Of course, they’re rhetorical questions but they make me sound like I care about your response when, in reality, I don’t!

But wait I’ve got another tip for all of you who have been here.
