I made it in the top 1%.
January 2023.
I hit the post button for the first time on X.
Since then, there’s no looking back.
It’s already been 10 months.
The journey has been full of highs and lows.
Here are 10 lessons I learned along the way:
1/ Volume is king

Struggling to escape Beginner's Hell?
It's because you don't know the exact strategy.
I created a step-by-step guide Twitter Playbook guide.

Every day is not the same.
Day 1 you will give 100%.
Day 2 you will give 80%.
Day 3 you will give 110%.
Day 4 you will give 50%.
Day 5 you will give 40%.
Day 6 you will give 70%.
Day 7 you will give 100%.
That’s the beauty of entrepreneurship.
Showing up every day, no
I was stuck at 70 followers for days.
There was no one to advise me.
So I tried various trials and errors.
Finally, after many attempts, I cracked the code to reach my first 100 followers.
Here's what you need to focus on if you are stuck:
- Make connections
When starting
Woke up to 1000 followers.
Finally, I am out of beginner's hell.
I've reached here without:
- Giveaways
- Paid retweets
- ChatGPT content
- Engagement pods
It might have taken me longer,
But that's okay.
I'm here for the long run.
Thank you X family.
I am building my startup from scratch.
Zero support, zero guidance.
But you know what?
I love every aspect of it.
Sometimes you have got to figure it out yourself.
45 days ago, I started my Twitter journey and reached 350+ followers.
I used various Trial and Error methods to build my Personal Brand.
Failed in some, succeeded in some.
I will be sharing growth tips in this thread:
I started my agency with just $11.
Insane right?
Well, you have everything free.
Canva for graphics (free)
Pfpmaker for nice pfp (free)
Chatgpt for getting ideas. (free)
Grammarly for corrections. (free)
Cardd pro for landing page. ($11)
All you need is a winner’s mindset.
Being a beginner sucks:
• You write into the void
• No idea about your purpose
• Have stagnant follower growth
But remember you're:
• Showing up every day
• Working on your skills
• Becoming 1% better every day
You will figure it out eventually.
Don't quit.
"Tweet 3x a day".
"Do 100 comments a day".
"Hop on calls".
I know these things are important to grow on X.
But don't force yourself.
Do whatever works for you.
How to grow from 0-200 followers?
- Volume tweets
- Engage like crazy
- Show personality
- Make connections
- Optimize your profile
- Focus on growth content
Time to implement it.
My family has no idea about Twitter.
My friends have no knowledge about what I am building.
I am okay with that.
Why ?
Because I find solace in the silent pursuit of my dreams.
Sometimes it's necessary that your success makes all the noise.
I am 26.
In one month I will be 27.
I haven't figured out everything in my life.
But I am:
- Doing what I love
- Showing up every day
- Becoming 1% better every day
Age is just a number.
Embrace your journey.
Make it worthwhile.
Under 500 followers?
I know it sucks.
Here's what you need to do:
- Build a tribe
- Hop on calls
- Be authentic
- Engage like crazy
- Have a content strategy
And don't forget to your reps daily.
Beginner hell sucks.
It took me 6 months to reach 1.1K+ followers.
But you can escape it in 60 days.
Want to know how?
Here are the magic beans I wish I knew as a beginner:
At 21 - I finished my undergrad.
At 23 - I finished my MBA.
At 24 - I worked 9-5 & made 6 figures.
At 25 - I quit my 9-5 & tried entrepreneurship.
At 26 - I joined X.
At 27 - ??
I took the leap at 25.
Left my safety net.
And you are afraid of posting on X.
Beginner hell sucks.
Here's what you need to do:
• Optimize your profile
• Engage like crazy
• Volume tweet
• Make solid connections
And don't forget to..
..show up and do your reps every day.
According to the society:
I am a failure
- MBA degree with no job
- quit my job many times
- not married at 25
- no work/job currently
But they don't know I am writing my own story.
I have been on X for 8 months.
Since then I have learned:
- Audience building
- Content creation
- Personal branding
- Crafting offers
- Funnels
- Sales
It's a free uni.
Take advantage now.
I turned 27 today.
I have succeeded. I have failed.
But most importantly, I became a better version of myself with each passing day.
Thank you X fam for always supporting me.
Time to give back.
I am going to help new creators gain clarity.
If you are someone with:
- less than 500 followers
- stuck in beginner's hell
- no direction
then get ready to increase your reps.

I gave 10 clarity calls last week.
Results?
- 2 unfollowed me
- 5 didn't care to apply the strategies I taught.
Lesson?
Not everyone values free information.
Born into comfort.
I could have chosen an easy life.
Marry a rich guy and settle down.
But I am after something bigger – independence.
I am on a mission to make my own money.
Build my empire.
And write my own story.
You don't need $500 to build your personal brand.
All you need is:
- Laptop
- Internet connection
- Story to share
- Consistency
What are you waiting for?
Start today.
“You are wasting your time Ambika”
My friend said.
Little did he know:
- I earn more than him.
- I have time and location freedom.
- I don’t need to work for long hours.
It’s useless to make some people understand.
I left my 6-figure job without a backup plan.
Insane right?
Yeah, you can call me crazy. Idc.
After serving my last day at that organization, I treated myself to a coffee.
I was happy.
I was free.
But then it sunk.
“What now?”
I had:
- No savings’
- No real plan
- No
Creator economy is going to be $480B by 2027.
Twitter is Instagram in 2012.
If you miss this opportunity now..
..then you are going to regret it for a lifetime.
Everything was falling apart.
Yet I was smiling.
I went to play football for the first time in 2021.
Super excited.
Ready to score a goal.
But god had other plans for me.
I slipped while almost scoring a goal.
Landed hard on my elbow.
OUCH! CRACK!

If you are below 100 followers, engage.
If you are below 1K followers, engage.
If you are below 2K followers, engage.
No matter your follower count.
Consistent engagement is the key to growth.
Me in 2019:
- Get a degree
- Earn 8 figures
- Work in a MNC
Me in 2023:
- Do what I love
- $2.5K MRR by Dec
- Improve 1% everyday
- Work from mountains
- Build a life of freedom
- Have 3 passive income
It's crazy how you evolve with time.
P.S. - This smile is constant.

I gave up.
I didn't believe in myself.
Don't make the same mistakes.
I started on X for fun.
But now I earn from X.
If you put in the reps, everything is possible.
We are a family of 2000 now.
Thank you for all the support.
I wasted 6 months on X.
Why?
Because I was waiting to hit 1K followers.
You don’t need to chase followers.
You need to connect more.
You need to promote your shamelessly.
Don’t be like me.
