AI Comments, Delusion and morning routines...

I wrote a sarcastic post on LinkedIn last week and it was met with a barrel of laughs.

The post was titled: ‘How I win on LinkedIn in only 8 Hours a Day’, and basically, I went through a morning routine and made it really extra so that people would laugh and join in and mock morning routines…

Now here’s the even funnier part about the whole post for me.

Most of the morning routine I shared wasn’t a joke BUT the timeline was of course silly and made up… (except 4:69am is real ok)

So I basically pulled a double move on everyone, and man, did I enjoy it.

I am so extra that I’m going to break it down for you, YUP that’s right so if you don’t like it please skip this section yadda yadda you know the drill by now….

The start of all my emails here on the ‘Write with AI But Don’t Lose your Soul’ Newsletter is a story. This story may have zero value or relevance to some of you but it’s straight from the bowels of my brain and will either entertain, educate or scare you. So read on ok or don’t…

Here is the routine in question!

THE PERFECT 60 MIN MORNING ROUTINE

4:00am → Wake up
4:05am → 1 cold shower
4:09am → Make 3 black coffees
4:15am → 100 Pushups and 5k steps
4:31am → Write 3 LinkedIn posts (with AI)
4:47am → Comment "WOOOO" on 69 posts
4:59am → Make a nice juicy steak for breakfast
4:69am → Text your VA and make sure they've been commenting on the other top 1% of creators posts for the last 4 hours.

Let's break it down, and I’ll tell you what is true and what isn’t….

1. 4am wakeup → for most of the past year, yes I have woke up at 4am. Why? Paraguay is 5 hours behind London. I post at 11:55am which is 6:55am in Paraguay. I like to spend 45 minutes engaging / DMs so that takes us to 6am. The hour prior I am often writing a post, editing a post or responding to messages in Slack/ emails which takes us to 5am. The first hour of the day I basically scroll shit on LinkedIn, stare at a wall, sit on my deck and yes I get up and make a coffee, have yes have a…
   

2. Cold Shower at 4:05am → Yes, most mornings I do this and I think it’s been a big reason why I’ve lost weight, been consistent with diet and workouts and well I enjoy the pain. Is it every morning? No some mornings I don’t shower. But most of the time yes.
   

3. Make 3 black coffees → I drink probably like 5 coffees by the time I’m done engaging on my Linkedin post every day. Is that healthy? Prob not but at least it’s not whisky ok….
   

4. 100 Pushups and 5k Steps → So for most of last year I did 750 pushups a day. I pinched a nerve in my neck this January and wasn’t able to continue. This month I’ve gotten healthy tho and am working my way back up so yes this checks out. Also I do 15k steps a day and 10k of them are during hour two after I post.
   

5. Write 3 LinkedIn posts (with AI) → This is a blatant lie. I write posts on the weekend and/or write/edit in the AM before I post.
   

6. Comment "WOOOO" on 69 posts → If you tracked my daily WOOOs I have no doubt that this is true. Even if it doesn’t hit 69, it sure feels like it ok…..
   

7. Make a nice juicy steak for breakfast → my first meal of the day is always steak. But usually dont eat it until 1pm at the same restaurant here in Paraguay. mmmmmmm man its good shit.
   

8. Text my VA to engage for 4 hours → I am the only one who comments from my personal account. However my VA does comment from my AI business page so if you see that, its most likely him not me and feel free to troll him to see how he responds.

That’s it that’s my review of the post.

So you can see it was a double troll effort.

Good times.

Anyways lets get into the rest of the newsletter aight….

PS here’s an AI generated meme for no reason…

🤖 Please PLEASE Don’t use AI Comments…

Look I don’t know what’s more annoying…

AI comments or the rants about them BUT it’s my duty as someone leading the ‘write with AI’ space to rant about this every once in a while….

Let me be blunt.

AI comments ARE USELESS and will NOT help you grow your brand on LinkedIn.

Just like hiring a VA to do comments for you doesn’t work that well because the VA does not know your inside jokes, is rushing engagement, and will not put the heart into the comments that you will.

The key to connection, building trust, and eventually conversion is to stand out and create a spark with someone.

This requires context, wit, speed, and effort.

None of these are possible with AI comments.

So please just quit it already or I will keep yelling at you in my comments.

🤖 YouTube Video of the Week ft ‘Delusion’

A few months back I visited London and went on a podcast.

Pretty rare for me to be seen with humans, to be fucking honest, but this one was a doozy. It was with Shoaib Ahmed and was titled: “How to Stop Being a Loser and Win at Life” which is kinda extra lol….

Anyway, I got quite a few funny/interesting/cancelable clips from it, and this was one of them…

Just some random thoughts on delusion and why I think most people shouldn’t bother…

(cool editing on this one)

There are just 14 days left to pre-register for my upcoming course release on May 14th. I will release the course to that list first for 10% off + a couple of bonus offers….

But beyond that, I’m working on giving away lots of value as a thank you to the 3015 people who have signed up for my waitlist so far.

1. I am hosting exclusive live streams for everyone who registers for the waitlist. Last week, I went live for 5 hours reviewing every single person’s profile who showed up. This week I am doing the same except I’m reviewing and roasting posts live.
   

2. At every event, I will give away something, whether it’s a pizza, a coaching call, or access to my course. I like to give and well it makes the events more fun.
   

3. I will be releasing a bonus offer with a micro-community element that will only be available to those on the waitlist.

Okay, okay, Luke, enough; remind us what it’s in this course?

My course is very simple.

By the end, you and your team will know how to write content with AI super fast, and learn how to edit it faster. You will free up your time to focus on networking and converting in DMs… This is the real reason why we post on LinkedIn.

I’ve tweaked the material this week as I finalize it so this is what the course outline looks like now:

Unit 0: The LinkedIn Basics
Unit 1: Build your Content System

Hope to see you at some of my live events this week.

Cheers,
Luke
