I hit 500+ Followers.
This is a great milestone.
But it wouldn't have been possible without your support.
This is a shared win.
To show my appreciation I have a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT.
I'm launching my Skills → Sales Workshop.
Ask me Anything
After spending 63 days on X
— I signed my first client —
This happened with
◇ No outreach
◇ No sales call
◇ No Auto-plugs
Why did it happen then?
◈ Brand Positioning
◈ Being an Authority
◈ Lending a helping hand
I didn’t have to run a sales script
The client was
I was a nobody on X
⇨ Didn’t know head from tail
⇨ Battling Imposter Syndrome
⇨ Manipulated by vanity metrics
But all of it changed
When
I was noticed by
The Legends of the game
(as Sean says it) The Stars of X
◈ To be appreciated
◈ To have interacted
◈ To have been
It is amazing
How one decision can change
the entire trajectory of your life.
6 months ago I was:
◇ A Developer
◇ Working a 9-5
◇ Didn’t feel fulfilled
But then I decided to quit.
Now, I am:
◈ A Designer
◈ Building a brand
◈ Feel grateful & content
You’re always
We hit 400 Followers
This feels like a pinch-me moment
In the beginning, going from 40->100 felt like a dream
Here we are:
◈ 5 Inbounds
◈ 37 Networking Calls
◈ Special Giveaway incoming
But most people get stuck and give up before seeing progress.
Here are 4 challenges I
X is a game
Where everyone plays
to win the prize $ money $
But the game is rigged
You’re only going to win if
you know the cheat codes
Want to know what they are
Look no further
• Want Engagement?
↳ Engage More
• Want Growth?
↳ DM More
• Want Clients?
↳
Hot take:
Followers might boost your ego,
but they don’t pay the bills
Clients do.
If you’re spending more time chasing likes than serving your clients,
it’s time to rethink your strategy.
Focus on what actually drives your success:
- Delivering value that people are
You don’t need 1M followers
What you need are 1000 true fans
To make a living
Disclaimer:
This is not for you if you want:
◈ Fame
◈ Fortune
Clear? Let’s go.
True Fans are people who would buy anything
That you produce:
▸Designs
▸Courses
▸Products etc
How do you make a

Here are a few things you should know about me
▸ I’m Indian
▸ I love coffee

▸ I’m a Potterhead
▸ I’m an avid reader
▸ I’m a tech enthusiast
▸ I’m an organization nerd
▸ I’m a serial binge-watcher
I spent 3.25 hrs on research
Another 1.5 hrs to
- Write
- Format
- Create Media
Close to 5 hrs of effort
I was sure that my post would go VIRAL
But it failed to even reach
↦ 1K+ views
↦ 50+ likes
That’s how my content usually performs
I took 3 days to analyze what went
This is not something I do often
There’s no need for you to read this
There’s no value , no authority, no wins
But if you’re still reading this
Know that I appreciate you
This week has been a crazy ride
Connecting with so many of you
Having a chat with you
Knowing that I
I turned editor at 18
For a published book
I did the works:
⁍ Copy editing
⁍ Developmental editing
⁍ Manuscript Evaluation
⁍ Social Media Management
⁍ Photographer for the Author
The book was listed on
▸ Amazon
▸ Flipkart
Also few promotional hard copies
For retail
My views increased by 83%
After I developed
Content Posting Strategy
It helps me:
◈ Write better
◈ Engage better
◈ Prepare better
As a creator
It should be illegal
To not have one
Especially when it’s so simple

Just 3 steps:
Best $5 ever spent
The ROI has been massive
Last month, I signed up for a course
Copywriting
The lessons I learned were invaluable.
If you’re in the field of:
◈ Sales
◈ Media
◈ Branding
◈ Business
It is an indispensable skill.
I paid $5, but you can learn for FREE
I own the Algo
2 weeks ago
I was having a conversation with a fellow creator.
Naturally then hyped now overused topic of
‘Algo is down’ also came up.
He said,
‘The algo really must be down,
I see your posts' engagement has also taken a hit.’
I replied,
‘This is all BS.

Where I'll be creating mock-ups of existing UI designs.
And you guys will be my :
- Accountability Partner

I'll be timing myself & rating the complexity of the design, based on that you will rate my work out of 5
Let's go!
Last Week’s Recap :
◈ Shoutout from Daniel Aros

Can't wait to share with you
What I have lined up for next week
Make sure you stick around to find out
See you Monday
Best week on X
So far...
◈ 3 Inbounds
◈ 10 New Friends
◈ 130+ Followers
But it came after weeks
Where there were
▸ 0 Friends
▸ 0 Followers
▸ Forget Inbounds
If the going gets tough
you have to get tougher
And that's what I did
⇨ Showed up
⇨ Stayed consistent

Last week’s recap:
◈ Arnie Ho liked my FREE Fans Guide post
◈ Finished ‘The Courage to be Disliked’
◈ 400 ⇒ 441 i.e. 7 followers/day
◈ Working on my GA
But I also
↦ Took a day off
↦ Didn’t engage on X

I was building offline
But you would ask
‘Didn’t she just take a day off on Saturday?’
Saturday was my Day Off
But Monday was an Offline Day
What’s the difference?
The off day was spent in:
◇ Rejuvenation
◇ Taking a break
◇ Maintaining balance
Offline Day was spent:
The wait is over
GA is finally here !!
But let me show you something first.
— Acc. to the poll 40% of the people have already participated in 5 or more giveaways —
There's nothing wrong with it.
The creators tend to provide a lot of value in their GAs.
But after going
62 Followers in one night !!
Over one post
But it didn’t :
↳ Give value
↳ Wasn’t a Long form
↳ Have any cute selfie
Still, it went viral.
Was it a fluke? No.
Why?

↦ Gamification
↦ Unknown Unknowns

• Before this post, my last 3 posts
I failed them
I had started at 0
I had no expectations
I had no strategy
I thought my writing was going to be good enough
But guess what it wasn’t
At least for most people, it wasn’t
But then there was them
My first real fans
Encouraged me, supported me, hyped me
But I
I hated it !!
Since the day I had joined my aerobics class.
Everything else came easy to me.
Whatever my instructor told me,
I could do it without any problem.
Just not SQUATS.
Even when I joined the gym,
I dreaded ‘Leg Day’ for this reason.
But now, I do it every day.
My writing never fails
To get me compliments
They keep coming:
◈ Knows writing nuances
◈ Queen of tweets
◈ Fire content
Everyone wants to know what’s the secret
Now I’m giving it away
Steal it before I change my mind

I’ve spoilt her !!
It was a Sunday morning,
Having a relaxed weekend.
I asked her if she’d go out to the movies with me
She was reluctant at first but agreed to spare some time
I booked the tickets for a movie that I knew she’d enjoy.
As usual, we left 5 mins before the show
I got burnt out
Last week I got
▸ Not enough sleep
▸ Didn’t engage
▸ Lost followers
But you know what didn’t change
⁍ Friends
⁍ Flooded dms
⁍ Support from the community
It reminded me
What I am building for
That is not :
⇨ Likes
⇨ Views
⇨ Followers
But it is :

The feeling of progress
You know how I realise
That I’m making progress
When I spend less time on
• Energy draining tasks
• Mindless scrolling
• Cheap dopamine
I feel more
• Productive
• Focused
• Content
That’s the
I am not growing on X
But I did everything right,
◈ I post 5x
◈ I DM 10x
◈ I engage 100x
Sound familiar?
That was me too.
When I realised
I was chasing the wrong metric.
I was focusing on:
◈ Likes
◈ Followers
◈ Impressions
When I needed to focus on:

▸ Dakota Robertson
▸ Nikita Mangtani (well that’s me)

Do you want the long answer
Or the short answer?
The short answer is LISTS
I almost forgot !!
Between preparing & launching the giveaway
And setting up the backend for smooth operations
also celebrating Rakshabandhan (Indian Festival)
I didn't notice
That we're now a community of 450 legends.
You guys are awesome.
Now no time to waste.

Not again
It’s the same question
That keeps coming up in conversations.
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked me this
My net worth would have rivaled that of Elon’s
But there’s no way that’s happening
So I decided to make a post about it
Which I can redirect
This is crazy,
I had celebrated my first 100 followers
And now less than 3 weeks later
I have managed to grow 100%
200 Followers
But, the grind does not stop here
Because the goalpost keeps moving.
Thank you all for making it happen.
I got scammed !!
No, this is not clickbait.

3. Network is Networth
This is true in life and more so on X.
So
- Shoot DMs
- Hop on calls
- Join Spaces
Build your community that’s going to support you.
1. Invest in yourself
You’re as good as your skill set
Invest in
- Books
- Courses
- Workshops
So before you start you earning you have to start learning
4. Know your Audience
People buy with emotions and not logic.
Know who you’re selling to, their:
- Likes
- Dislikes
- Desires
The more you know the easier it gets.
A few weeks ago I put out one of my most viral posts ever
All I did was ask people to support small accounts
Smaller accounts clearly feel disadvantaged on X
Because of that response I built a List of Elite small accounts and added over 400 people to it
I've heard from a ton
