The big night has come: the premiere of The Tim Ferriss Experiment!
Starting now (3pm PT, 6pm ET) and ending around 8pm PT/11pm ET on December 1st, I’ll be doing everything possible to get #TFX to trend high on Twitter. If you’re seeing this the day after, it’s still important!
This is a new critical metric that TV show execs are using to determine success or failure. Traditional Nielsen rankings aren’t enough.
Want to see my attempts to deconstruct parkour, professional poker, guns, language learning, and much more? Please help me ensure this first episode does well!
See below for how you can best help…
FIRST, WHAT I’LL BE DOING
– Live Twitter Q&A from 4:30pm PT (7:30pm ET) to at least 6pm PT (9pm ET). Ask me anything, but you must include #TFX.
– Giveaways! I’ll be giving away super cool stuff, including:
- Subscriptions to my Quarterly packages
- Merrell shoes
- Signed books, including mine and Vagabonding.
- Sonos Playbars ($700 sound system)
- Goodies related to the drumming episode
- And much more…
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
If you’re up for it (and it’d mean the world to me), here are the things you can do to help. This TV show has been years in the making…
- If you have cable, tune in to “The Tim Ferriss Experiment” on HLN at 5pm PT (8pm ET). If you can’t make it today, please DVR it and watch in the next few days. It counts.
- If you don’t have cable, please watch the show online starting at exactly 5pm PT (8pm ET). YouTube is here, and iTunes is here. I’ll offer play-by-play commentary and live Twitter Q&A on what you’re seeing.
- In any case, please participate in the live Twitter Q&A and giveaways! Use #TFX as much as possible. Original tweets are worth more than retweets of other people.
- Do whatever you can to get people to use #TFX on Twitter between now and midnight! Rally the troops, your friends, your mailing lists, your Facebook friends, your imaginary friends… Offer giveaways of your own using #TFX, reuse your most popular tweets using #TFX, etc.In short, as Gary Oldman in The Professional would say:

Special thanks to Brendan Gahan, who helped organized the below materials.
Sharing any of the below helps ensure I can film more episodes for y’all. Thank you in advance! Much more content coming (about Jony Ive, actually) soon. Here goes…
If you feel so inclined, below are some images with quotes from the show as well as a few fun animated gifs for you to easily share. Please note, if you download the images and upload any of them your Twitter account directly, it will take up a bit more real estate in the newsfeed (and lead to more exposure for the show). Have fun and enjoy.
