I sold my first e-book!
I never sold anything online
Nor earned wifi money before
But that has changed today!
Indeed, hard work pays off
You just have to be patient
Some fat guy complained to me that I’m lucky to have:
• Good genetics
•Money to afford gym membership
Dude, I workout 6 times a week at home
What do you think?
Do you need good genetics to “be fit and look good”?

• RT to receive a bonus in your DMs
I made a mistake
I burnt out trying to grow on X
by being like everyone else
To the point I forgot what my actual goal was here
Is rebranding too late now?
I’m thinking about quitting
For now
I’ve been in this journey for 5 months
And I still can’t figure out my purpose here
Which is why I think a break will help me figure that out
What do y’all think?
My goals for May:
•Finish my Notion Template
•Quit my 9-5 job
•Earn my first $1K from X
I’ve been hesitant to post this, but I gotta hold myself accountable
What are your goals this month?
I've earned 45$ from X
All while juggling:
•Boxing
•Drawing
•Watching youtube
•Learning Irish (don't ask why)
Thankfully, I quit all of them
I'm putting all my focus on X
I lost my grandma today
And even though I disliked her for being toxic
I can't help but feel guilty for not loving her enough
So please, spend more time with your family and cherish them
You never know when they might take their last breath
I used to think that I don't have unique traits
However, in half a year I learned:
•Copywriting
•DM setting
•Social media management
And from each I got:
•2 testimonials
•worked for 2 agencies
•2800+ followers
In short, I am:
•Flexible
•Tenacious
•Determined
I used to fear wasting time so much
that I ended up wasting it by overthinking.
Ironic, isn't it?
So if you need to do something
Count to 5 and go do it
𝗜 𝗱𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹
Am I insane? Probably
But I'm not stupid
Instead of using the free time to indulge in bad habits
I'm working my butt off
To make sure I don't end up homeless
Grinding is always the option

Try Monk Mode, where for a month you:
•Use your phone for 1 hour
•Don't eat processed food
•Workout 6 times a week
•Journal
•Meditate 20 min
•Work for atleast 4 hours
Thank me later🙌
In less than 1 year, I managed to:
•Gain 3000+ followers on IG and X
•Earn my first money online
•Get 2 clients
•Improve my writing (without ChatGPT)
But just a moment ago
I felt like a failure, for not working as hard today
So always remember your past success
I have barely touched X today
Not because I didn’t feel like grinding
But because I spent quality time with mom
After all, it doesn’t hurt to take a rest day
For the sake of family (Dom Toretto Moment)
Want to increase productivity?
Fast till sunset
Eating food makes your body focus on digesting it
Which is why you feel weak and lazy
Trying to work afterwards
“B-but I can’t stay without food this long-”
Muslims are literally doing just that in this month
Stop the BS
Hey everyone, Emir here. I’m a 17+ yr old guy who’s on a self improvement journey, as well as a path to becoming a better writer. I created this account for the sole purpose of sharing new things that I learn everyday here, and to get to know amazing people too. What’s your goal?
Me a year ago:
•Femboy looking
•Depressed
•No ambition
Me now:
•Growing a beard
•Religious
•Workaholic
All it takes is one year of hard work
To become unrecognisable
My achievements today:
•Hitting 300 Followers
•Getting an Affiliate Program
TWO W's IN ONE DAY!
SERIOUSLY, THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING ME ON THIS JOURNEY
LOVE Y'ALL FR
Day 1 of the strict grind mode:
I deleted Youtube
And spent the entire day in the library
Learning to draw
It was also hard not eating sweets
So I just replaced them with dates
𝗜 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗻_𝗴𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲
Seriously, when have they ever been useful?
All they do is:
•complain about silly things
•see negative in everything
•suck your energy
Don't be like naggers
Do you want to get:
•150% more retweets
•94% more views
•35% higher engagement
In all your tweets?
Of course you do, so start posting images and videos
Tweets with images and videos tend to get more engagement than text-only tweets
1 month ago, I published my first post on X
Thinking I won't really get anywhere
But now, I grew to almost 300 followers👀
And I got to engage with lots of amazing Holmes🔥
Thank you all so much for being with me on this journey lads
Love y'all for real 🫶
I’m a slave
I started waking up and go straight to grinding
And sometimes sleep for only 4 hours
Do I hate it?
Quite the opposite actually
I’ve never felt so productive in my life
Mornings are the best times to achieve the flow state
I was sick for 4 days
And everything started going downhill
Whether it’s:
❖Business
❖Social life
❖Happiness
All because I forced myself to keep working
Sickness is annoying
But don’t let it destroy you further
I just turned 18 today
Did I take a break from the grind? Nah
I went to workout in the gym
(And got obliterated by my trainer)
The grind don't stop y'all
If you ever feel stressed using X
Try having fun every once in a while
Troll your friends
Post controversial tweets
(But make sure they’re not controversial enough)
Sometimes, being playful is one of the best values you can provide to others
Not some cringy platitude
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰
•Studying a new language
•Building an online product
•Practicing drawing to get into University
The X growth may be slow right now, but the grind ain’t stopping anytime soon
You either win
Or perish
I started grinding at 5AM in the morning
Am I insane? Perhaps
But I noticed that I'm much more energetic and get into flow state easily
Something which I could barely do before
All in all, the grind doesn't stop
I fasted the entire day today
I was hungry, frustrated, and tired
But I still went to Boxing despite eating only tuna sandwich
However, in the end, we've been blessed with 22 followers on X🤌
(And 1 follower in real life😃)
Hard work does indeed pay off y'all
GN
I’m back
I haven’t posted in X for a whole WEEK
Why?
I was too busy:
•Studying Dan Koe’s courses
•Figuring out my purpose
•Enjoying life for once
I’m done running around in circles
It’s time to take this seriously
Sleeping till 11AM is fine
If you don’t want to be successful
Just:
➔Wake up early
➔Pray
➔Grind on empty stomach
This way, you finish work way before most people wake up
𝗜 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲
Building amazing projects in Minecraft
Now, I'm doing the same but in real life
Grinding is part of the human nature
Just make sure to spend it wisely
𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗴𝗶𝗿𝗹 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹
No joke, I couldn't:
•Do a single pushup
•Win any fight
•Lift 10kg of weight
But now I can do any of that without breaking a sweat
All in all, THE GRIND DON'T STOP
To grow on 𝕏, everyone says:
• Do this
• Do that
• Blah blah blah
But not one tells you what NOT to do
So after studying 𝕏 for a month now, here’s how you can increase engagement by 30%
(a thread you don’t want to miss🧵)
I've tried to get popular on both Reddit and Instagram
Did it work?
Kinda
Was it by luck?
Absolutely not, I failed a lot to get to where I am today
And if I succeeded in both of these, then I can on 𝕏 too
AND SO CAN YOU LAD🔥
Can't get impressions on your post?
Then it sucks
Use:
•Callouts
•Numbers
•Questions
•Negativity Bias
•Unpopular Opinions
Do that and watch your growth skyrocket
Thank me later
"Just be yourself"
is the cringiest advice to give to someone growing on X
As most people who say it, don't even follow it
Here's how to build authenticity instead...👇🧵
I gained 22+ followers in less than a day
While barely engaging
how?
By posting a question tweet
Here’s how it works
(A thread you don’t want to miss🧵)
I just came back from the gym, and found out that
WE FINALLY DID IT Y'ALL
100 (and one) FOLLOWERS🥳
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH FOR BEING PART OF THIS JOURNEY
NEXT STOP: 300 Followers
What's your next milestone y'all?
A lot of people praised me for growing so fast
And gain another 100 in just 5 days
But honestly, I sometimes ask myself:
"How did I get here? There is no way I know what tf I'm doing"
I know, imposter syndrome is a b*tch
Here's how I got rid of it 🧵
Back then, my life didn't have a purpose:
- School
- Games
- Cornhub
One day, I had a nightmare of me being homeless
So I woke up and I built myself from scratch
- Workout
- Research
- Work
I filtered the people around me.
You need to break in order to build again
I could have been the best at:
•Football
•Swimming
•Drawing
•Hell, even school
But failed in all of them
I used to ask myself:
What am I possibly really good at, and also passionate about?
That's when I found writing🧵
“When I grow up, I’m going to be rich”
The whole class started laughing
Telling me that I’m too:
•dumb
•worthless
Until my Music Teacher said:
Better to be mocked than to join those on the sidelines mocking someone making history
The whole class fell silent after that
"Making money online is a scam"
Yeah sure buddy, why don't you just:
•Work 9-5 for 40 years of your life
•save every single penny
•hope the inflation doesn't eat up your savings
What do you think?
And how do you plan to get rich yourself?
I made a mistake
I thought I would achieve my goals
And greatly improve myself during this holy month
Instead, I:
•Procrastinated
•Slept and Woke up late
•Got distracted by notifications
But I won’t quit what I’ve worked hard for here on X
As the grind doesn’t stop
𝗜'𝘃𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘅𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
Wondering if I should take the risks
Until a wise man taught me:
"If you have God, what have you lost
But if you lost God,what have you found"
Day 1 of teaching how to grind:
Wake up and start working at 4:30AM
Since it's :
•Extremely quite
•When everyone's asleep
Which gives you the ability to work with no distractions
And be done before everyone wakes up
𝗙*𝗰𝗸 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
It's a waste of time
If you don't implement what you just learned
Instead, try teaching what you learned
It can:
•reinforce understanding
•encourage critical thinking
•strenghten confidence
I've failed in:
•DM Setting
•Copywriting
•Graphic Designing
Naturally - I felt like giving up
But decided to give 𝕏 a chance
And guess what? I just earned my wifi money
Hard work and consistency always pays off
I failed English back in 4th grade
And my teacher said that my English was way too horrendous
(Ofc, I had no idea what she was blabbing about)
Well guess what Miss Sarah
I can now be as sophisticated as a stereotypical British man with a top hat
drinking cup of tea
I just went from 134 to 151 followers in less than a day🔥
How did I do that?
Simple, just E N G A G E
"B-but Emir, I already engage al-" Then you might be doing it wrong.
A lot of creators say engagement is key, but fail to explain how so
So let me do the honors instead 🧵
My follower count significantly dropped from 23 to 11 followers daily
Why?
I got too cocky
I used to post 100 posts a day
Now? 20 posts and call it quits
Thinking that
@elonmusk
has got my back
Nope, he removed the spotlights from me :(
Moral of the story? ENGAGE MORE FFS
I reached 200+ followers in just 3 weeks
And I just wanted to say thanks so much y'all
It means a lot to me🙌
"So are you gonna write a book and do a giveaway?"
Nope, F*ck that🧵

Dissatisfaction
Be dissatisfied with your current situation in life
I wasn't pleased with my performance in football
So I used this feeling to get better
Here's the proof
𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐠𝐨:
•No ambitions
•No friends
•No maidens
What has changed? I now have:
•helped people gamify their lives
•500+ amazing friends
•Still no maidens
A lot can change in a year, if you’re willing to put the effort in
Had a great day doing boxing today
AND SAW THAT WE HIT 250 FOLLOWERS🔥
TWO W's IN ONE DAY!?
THANKS SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH ME ON THIS JOURNEY Y'ALL
And no, I'm not doing a giveaway (or am I👀)
Multi-tasking is good
If you want to stay mediocre at best
Rather, prioritize one thing
Put all your focus into it
And leave the rest for later
Don’t waste your energy on pointless side quests
For the past 2 days, my engagement dropped significantly (life got in the way)
And whenever I tried growing on X without a plan
most of my effort goes into the void
I know, Life is hard
So am I 😔
And if there's anything I want to tell y'all
Plan how you're gonna engage
Recently, most people are either:
•Losing followers
•Being followed by
@JohnCena
(didn't follow me tho (i think bro doesn't see me))
So let's engage y'all
Introduce yourself and what you do
Holy sh*t y'all
We just gained 16 followers in just a day!
I can't express how happy and grateful I am to all of you
I thought just 10 followers is out of reach for a beginner like me
Yet here we are🔥🔥🔥
I just want to thank all of you who were part of this journey since..
I suffered from severe leg cramp
But did I let that stop me from going to Boxing?
Absolutely not, if I ever get into a fight whilst injured
I have no choice but to fight back
And the same can be said for any situation
Keep going, regardless of the difficulties and setbacks
Just went from 287 to 280 Followers
How?
By removing the pesky bots that kept spamming:
"Hot single moms in your area"
No thanks, not worth shadow banning my account🗿
I’ve gained over 125K impressions in a month on 𝕏
However, that number is meaningless to me now
Since focusing on metrics made me:
•Forget my goals
•Act like everyone
•Suffer from existential crisis
All for the sake of getting 2x more views
So stay true to yourself
Day 6 of the grind mode:
I took Dan Koe’s Digital Economics Course
And was enlightened from just the introduction folder alone
If that’s the case, I wonder how will the actual course be like
Day 2 of the grind mode:
Woke up feeling refreshed
And the weather was beyond perfect today
So I decided to:
•go out for a walk
• ride electric scooters
•call some old friends
It sure was a fantastic day
