Attention Dominance in an Attention Economy: How MrBeast and the World's Most Viral Experts, Influencers, and AI Driven Strategies Win the Social Feed
Attention is now the scarcest currency in the world-and this book is your playbook for dominating it. It dissects how MrBeast and a small circle of elite creators, entrepreneurs, and AI tacticians systematically win the social feed-and shows you how to apply their playbooks to your own brand, business, or career.
Attention Dominance in an Attention Economy is a deep, fact-driven breakdown of the modern attention economy as a solvable game, from YouTube and TikTok to podcasts, newsletters, and AI-generated content. Using MrBeast as the central case study-but going far beyond him-it maps the incentives, algorithms, and economic engines that make some people inescapable online while others stay invisible.
Inside, you will learn:
Why MrBeast's rise is the result of thousands of experiments in titles, thumbnails, pacing, and stakes-and how those principles translate to any niche.
The two games everyone is playing online-awareness and conversion-and why trying to play both on the same channel quietly kills your results.
How top operators like MKBHD, Alex Cooper, Gary Vaynerchuk, Brendan Kane, Codie Sanchez, Ryan Pineda, Davie Fogarty, and others turn views into real assets.
How AI "content machines" are transforming the creator economy-and what still truly differentiates humans.
The platform-level incentives of YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X, Spotify, Telegram, and more, and how their algorithms decide who rises and who disappears.
The core skills you will need over the next decade to win high-value attention without burning out or becoming a commodity.
The book is structured in six parts, moving from first principles to field-tested strategy: defining the attention game, opening the black box of platforms and AI, diving into hooks and storytelling, unpacking creator-entrepreneur empires, exploring tactical platform warfare, and confronting ethics, resilience, and the next decade.
This is written for creators, founders, operators, marketers, and executives who already publish-or already own growth-and know that "post good content and be consistent" is no longer a strategy. You will not find secret hacks or copy-and-paste scripts; you will find patterns: how world-class players test, iterate, and build systems so that attention compounds into opportunity, deal flow, and long-term leverage.
Whether you are a creator, entrepreneur, or executive, you are already in the attention game every time you send a cold email, launch a product, or hit publish. The real question is whether you keep playing it blindly-or start playing it with the same rigor as the people who now define culture.
