I think what the author describes about a tipping point in receiving offers/intros is true. I also think he is right about social media (FB, Instagram, Twitter) for someone like him. This is also in-line with the author's writing on 'Deep Work' so his stance is not a surprise. However, I see a great great counter-example--Patrick McKenzie (Patio11). I just checked and he has over 42k Twitter followers and is regularly brought up on HN. Yet, here's the third paragraph on his personal website: "I love talking to other small businesses at any time, for any reason: please, drop me an email. I respond to as many as I can, time permitting. Nothing makes me happier than helping people out. See the Standing Invitation for details." https://www.kalzumeus.com/ https://www.kalzumeus.com/ I wonder if the way Patrick portrays himself and his openness to connecting, ends up with him having a higher quality of inbound than the author. I realize that's a conjecture wrapped up as a question.
