Rob Hallam · launch

Introducing The Attention Playbook: everything you need to grow on X as a founder.
- Rob Hallam (@robj3d3) September 24, 2026

Also drawn on, all public and self-reported by Hallam: his 2025 growth playbook thread (content mix, profile as landing page), his 2026 “how to actually grow” video (video rules, friend graph, kill list), the 1 to about 198 follower throwaway-account experiment he ran in September 2026, and the module list and case studies (agency, SuperX, sponsor side project) on the Attention Playbook sales page. The course itself is not out, so nothing here comes from paid lessons. Revenue and follower figures are his claims, not audited numbers.

This post took 5 minutes to write. Many others I labored over for an hour flopped.
