Scott P. Scheper left a crypto company he cofounded to pursue, of all things, analog productivity systems.
Sexy!
Could somebody peel me off Scott and throw me in the dryer real quick?
Okay, I’m back.
Scott’s made $70 million as an independent writer and marketer, first bodying the affiliate game before pivoting to teach the power of analog.
As in reading actual books, jotting down notes by hand, and filing them away in a cute little card catalog – just like Mrs. Burke, the librarian, used to do when she wasn’t scratching her dandruffy perm and dropping flakes all over her cardigan.
Read on for my Antinet Zettelkasten review.
I don’t know if Scott’s wearing that hat or that hat’s wearing him, but whatever’s going on up there, it’s definitely making a statement.
Anyways.
If you wanna become a prolific reader, researcher, or writer, the answer isn’t to “just do more of it,” Scott says.
Nope. You need a system for capturing and developing the right thoughts. A system that helps you to think.
Y’know, that thing you used to do before social media turned you into a background character in your own life?
Yeah, well, clamp your laptop shut and put your phone on silent – because the best systems for thinking aren’t digital. They’re analog.
Think about it.
The best writers still swear by good old-fashioned pen and paper. Jerry Seinfeld comes to mind.
The problem is, there’s no easy way to retrieve handwritten notes.
You can’t be flipping through 75 pages of schizophrenic scribbles on a yellow notepad just to find that one million-dollar idea you had a week ago.
This is where Antinet comes in.
It’s a dorky but deadly effective notecard system that helps you store, find, and connect ideas without getting distracted by some gymfluencer’s giant ass and then opening a private browser to see if she has an OnlyFans.
Not that I ever caught my ex doing that or anything.
But yeah. When it’s time to write, you’ll have a goddamn treasure trove of ideas at your fingertips.
In other words…
Antinet lets you pump out content like a coffee goblin on Adderall.
Case in point:
Scott’s crazy ass wrote a 542-page book on the subject, titled Antinet Zettelkasten.
Zettelkasten is German for “note box.”
It’s a note-taking and idea-organizing system developed by some ancient sociologist named Niklas Luhmann, who used it to crank out over 70 books and 400 papers in his lifetime.
Sheesh!
My dude was running a publishing sweatshop, party of one.
From what I understand:
- You write each idea or note on an index card.
- Then give it a unique identifier (numbering system).
- And then link related ideas together like a physical web of knowledge.
Obviously, Scott’s book Antinet Zettelkasten lays out his unique approach to the process.
It’ll serve as your secret weapon, transforming you into a reading, research, and writing machine, Scott promises.
And if it doesn’t?
Send that shit back, and he’ll refund you in full. No questions asked.
That’s how confident he is that it’ll upgrade your brain. Some chess prodigy even called the Antinet “runner’s high for the mind.”
Scott believes in this book so much, he’s selling it to you at cost.
Just cover printing and fulfillment: $14.96. Alright? And he’ll ship it to you, for free, no matter where you live.
The catch?
Scott’s got a couple of upsells locked and loaded: The Scott Scheper Letter for $96/month and his Write to Freedom course for, wait for it… $7,800.
FYI: Scott originally sold the book on Amazon, where it sits at 3.8 stars after 98 ratings.
One reviewer summed it up best – said it felt like a 300-page book stretched to 700, with Scott telling you to “try analog” 1,000 different ways.
I’ll throw him a bone, though:
This information does get more valuable by the day, as algorithms and AI tighten their grip and make us their bitch.
