This is what my first 30 days on Twitter looked like.
Nothing was happening for the first two weeks! 😰
I could literally hear crickets when I posted my tweets.
But then it suddenly took off!
Can you see what happened?
Let's break it down!

I have tweeted 1,183 times so far in May. 😮
That's about 108 per day.
If you want to grow on Twitter, you must put in the effort. 😤
Almost all of my tweets are comments and replies.
I spend my time engaging, over and over again.
If you do it enough times, you will grow! ✅

I've had a bad day. 😥
Today I didn't feel like working on my projects at all.
Not even tweeting.
And that's okay. Everybody feels this way from time to time. You are not weak just because you take a day off.
Many people on Twitter preach the "No Excuses, rock solid

Don't be so skeptical of following small accounts.
It means a lot to them!
If you like their content, why not do it?
You're helping them out a ton.
I remember when I had 10,20 and 50 followers.
One more follower meant the world to me.

You don't have to wake up at 4 am to be successful.
You just have to:

As long as you actually work!

Likes are the most powerful engagement on Twitter. 🫣
The Twitter algorithm gives a tweet a 30x boost from likes.
Retweets only give 20x, but shares as well.
That’s the highest boost your audience can give you.

I’m so tired of seeing this.
Generic AI-written tweets.
Soulless, generic, monotone.
And no value.
Where does the value of a tweet come from?

Start putting some soul into your writing.

The first 500 followers are the hardest.
I probably spent two times as much effort on Twitter back then.

You just got to get over the hump.

You don't need to be a pro writer to grow on Twitter.
I'm literally dyslectic and rarely read books.
But I still grow.
You only need to:
- Show your personality.
- Focus on value, not poems.
- Write in an active and engaging style.
- Catch their attention.
Anyone can do that.

You might be doing a fatal mistake.
Are you using links in your tweets?
It totally kills its reach.
Twitter wants people to stay on their platform. They don't want to show links that take them away.
Instead, add the link as the pinned comment on the tweet.
You're welcome!

- Journal.
