I've been on Twitter for 4 years now, Got over 148,000 followers, And made hundreds of thousands of dollars on this platform. Here are the 8 lessons that if I knew at the start, would've doubled those numbers:
Replying to
1. Be timely
Some of my best tweets have been during crises
Why?
Because it's in everyone's heads
- The bitcoin dip
- The delta variant
- BLM
- Lockdowns
- Gamestop scandal
Share your opinion on relevant topics often.

2. Have inside jokes
I have two:
Black coffee and crackheads
These transcend your brand. They're bigger than you but can be traced back to you.
(Hint: This is why memes are so powerful)

3. Play the long game
If you check your follower count every day, you're not playing the long game
If you get anxious because a tweet doesn't do well, you're not playing the long game
It's mathematically impossible to stay stuck if you just keep tweeting
Keep going

4. You could easily make 10x the money you're making now just by collaborating with other people:
-Launch a product
-Do a webinar
-Trade services
-Coach each other
-Help each other grow
How much money you make is directly proportional to how good your networking skills are.

5. Don't get lazy
The moment you get comfortable is the moment your writing quality declines.
Don't let it. Write daily and write a lot.
I've forgotten better shit than most people will ever create.

6. Build an email list
You can get banned at any moment if Twitter decides so.
Building an email list is insurance.
Also, it's a great leveraging tool for making tools aside from selling to your audience.

7. Nuance isn't persuasive
People don't like to follow people with soft opinions.
If you have an opinion, make it strong.
Show it often in your tweets.
You'll attract the people you want and repel the ones you don't (which gives you a more tribe-like following).

8. Assimilate what's working (more on this below)
The same topics you see today have been said for hundreds of years.
There's nothing new. It's all a remix.
Copy what's already working with a simple search:

Then go to "Latest"
And you'll find my best tweets for you to assimilate.
Growing a following that actually pays is as easy as just doing what works.
But I'll make it even easier for you:
