I didn’t know this
as a beginner writer
avoid:
- fancy words
- long sentences
- trying to impress everyone
instead?
- use simple words
- keep your sentences short
- focus on connecting with your reader
great writing doesn’t have to be hard.
I got my first client
after 37 days of being on 𝕏
5 stup*d mistakes I made
that slowed me down
- no clear offer
- wasn’t confident
- didn’t start pitching early
- wasted time on free clients
- chased followers instead of leads
first time reading this
what do you think?
I didn't know what to write
as a newbie on 𝕏
- 0 ideas
- 0 inspiration
2 months later
- 100s of tweets
- 1-2k views/post
- almost 600 friends
how I never run out of ideas?
I write to my past self
If you don’t give yourself a break,
your body will force you to.
i finally understood this
was sick for a whole week
- lost views
- lost followers
- heck! I lost weight too
but what I didn’t lose? my community
thank y’all so much for all the care
what did I miss? 👀
I blew up!
With just 178 followers.
It brought me:
- 15k views
- 120+ likes
- 50+ new followers
Here's what I did to go viral
With a small follower count. 🧵
I deleted 𝕏 app
yep, for a whole month.
why? because my top 3 in life are:
- God
- family
- business
family called and I answered.
sometimes it’s okay to step away
what matters is a stronger comeback.
feels really good to be back, missed y’all.
i've been here for 2+ months
and seen creators quit.
they start strong
but quickly lose momentum.
i’ll be different. how?
build systems
make more friends
be in it for the long game
i struggled with getting clients
as a newbie on 𝕏 but 40+ days later,
→ 4 paid clients
→ no single cold DM
→ all without a mentor
how?
→ quit chasing followers
→ great positioning
→ built authority
clients started coming to me.
will drop a thread on this tomorrow
I signed my first paid client
on day 38 with 200+ followers.
Here are 4 simple lessons I learned:
→ flex wins
→ build authority
→ have good positioning
→ make friends & hop on calls
you don’t need 1k followers
to monetize your brand.
(agree/disagree?)
I failed myself
wasn't so active last week
but do i regret it?
definitely not
graduated uni
made my parents proud
became a licensed therapist
this week?
engage 100x daily
send 5 dms daily
post 2-3x daily
you can’t go wrong with the basics.
my growth has been slow lately
why? haven't been engaging
i plan to hit 600 this week
here’s what I’d do:
- build in public
- post 2-3x daily
- engage 100x daily
- send 10 DMs daily
- make more 𝕏 besties
you can’t go wrong with the basics
I had the best month ever!
Planned to:
-hit 300 followers
-start posting threads
-start my email newsletter
Instead I:
-got 330+ besties
-signed 2 paid clients
-helped 10+ persons 2-3 steps behind.
thx bestiess🫶🏼, happy Sunday.
p.s. (no wigs today, meet the real me).
People love my brand
why?
i treat my audience like friends <3
friends want to get to know each other
they want to hear
-real
-unfiltered
-authentic stories
want die-hard fans?
-be personal
-be vulnerable
-show who you are
even your flaws & failures…
less than 500 followers?
build in public
post 2-3x a day
engage 100x a day
share your personality
send DMs 5-10x a day
….but I hear this all the time
yes, because the basics work.
plus don't forget to have fun with it
I went viral yesterday,
For the first time.
- 9.2k views.
- Lots of DMs.
- 10+ followers.
Craziest part?
Took me 15 mins
To write the thread.
Lessons?
- Give value.
- Flex your wins.
- Keep it simple.
Thank you guys, let’s keep crushing it.
yesterday was awesome
- i went from 480→500+ friends
- i celebrated my birthday
- i got 3 inbound leads
without engaging 100x
the power of community at play
thanks for the wishes and support <3
my week sucked
failed to reach my 600 goal
but instead:
- got 550+ besties
- my client got their first viral post
- completed my final year uni clearance
(graduation party in a bit…)
wasn’t a bad week after all
let’s do more this week.
Can’t believe this guys!
I celebrated 200 followers yesterday.
Today, we hit the 250 milestone.
The simple trick?
-Face your fears
-Show up daily
-Make friends
Thank you for being here.
I love you guys 🫶🏼
i gained 20+ followers yesterday
without
→ engaging 100 times
→ dming 20 people
→ posting 3-5x
here's how I did it:
→ flexed my wins
→ shared my struggles
→ focused on one pain point
(bonus point - i built anticipation)
you don’t need to be a guru to grow on 𝕏.
i didn't engage today
instead I sat down for 3hours straight
- responded to all my DMs
- replied most comments
- hopped on a call
i'm not here to chase mr. Algo
but to build real relationships
good trade-off?
Stop being shy to tell your stories.
it can save or inspire someone.
plus it makes people
fall in love with you.
results?
-more followers
-more clients
-more sales
it’s a win win.
I got my first paying client today!
37 days ago,
I had 18 bot followers.
On a “dead” account
I ghosted for a longggg while.
Now we’re on a winning streak.
Keep showing up, your time will come.
#1
habit that helped me hit 500 fast?
sharing my journey
I've learned that…
nobody knows it all
we all just
- document our knowledge
- share it with others
- rinse and repeat
you don’t need to copy top creators
just share your own experience
No one reads your tweets
because you
- share whatever comes to mind
- post when you feel like it
- and hope for the best
how I get 1-2k+ views/post
even with a messy algo?
nail my ICP
share my story
solve problems
make more friends
…quit posting randomly, have a plan
my client went from $0 - $350
in just 2+ weeks on 𝕏
best part?
- no paid RTs
- no cold DMs
- no 4 hrs daily on 𝕏
4 simple tweaks we made
- a rebrand
- content strategy
- unique positioning
- engagement system
want to see a long form?👀
2months ago:
$3/hr job
no social life
stressed as hell
now:
340+ besties
first $$ made on 𝕏
happier now than ever
what changed?
I quit chasing someone’s
dream, focused on mine.
have a productive day guys!
2 months ago
i struggled to build my brand
now?
- 500+ friends
- monetized my brand
- gaining 5+ inbounds/week
all i did was:
- make friends
- learn how to write
- show up daily on 𝕏
it takes time… don't quit yet
this is a bad hook
but you read it anyway.
with a strong personal brand
you don't need no
- clickbaits
- viral hooks
- tweet templates
you’ve got fans not followers,
they’re your ride-or-dies
always there to support
agreed?
Okay, now this is INSANE!
In the past few days:
I went viral with just 100+
Gained 105 new followers
Got a DM from a Legend (Arnie Ho)
Guess who also DMed
And dropped me a follow?
The god of Storytelling on 𝕏!
We’re crushing it guys, thank you 🫶🏼
Your writing sucks!
she said to me few months ago.
today:
→ 400 friends
→ 4 paid clients
→ a strong brand
people will tell you
→ you can't do it.
→ your ideas are crazy.
→ your dreams are too big.
don't let this stop you,
keep trying till you win.
thank you for 400
quit complaining of low views
and do these instead…
- build in public
- post great content
- make friends in the DMs
- engage with other creators
- share your stories and personality
that’s how I’m creating my luck on 𝕏
My dreams are gone
i was scammed again
“copy top creators”
“use tweet templates”
“repeat viral frameworks”
i lost my voice
i’m so done trying to
be like everyone
look like everyone
sound like everyone
in my era of being
unapologetically me
have a great week besties
you won’t grow on 𝕏
because you don’t
→ flex wins
→ build in public
→ post good content
→ make friends with people
→ engage with other creators
it’s simple but not easy, put in the work.
how are you spending your day?👀
July was insane
well, I wish it was
completed 1/3 goals
- 600 besties
- no $500/mo
- no newsletter
i made progress, gained clarity
but could have done better.
ready to crush August!
who’s with me?
After growing to almost 400
and signing 4 paid clients
in just 7weeks on 𝕏
i realized this:
you don’t need to be “Einstein”
to grow on 𝕏. All I did was:
→ build in public
→ show up everyday
→ engage like a normal human
it’s really simple, don’t complicate it.
what can I post today to go viral?
well that’s the problem!
you always focus on:
- likes
- views
you cherish that quick dopamine hit
you get when your post takes off.
likes and views don’t equal cash
…stop building an account
start building a business
i got zero clients on 𝕏
- posted daily
- engaged daily
- made friends daily
it took me 6+weeks
to sign my first client.
4 mistakes I made that
slowed my monetization🧵
I noticed a pattern on X
if a type of post goes viral
everyone starts to make same content.
trends are good but won't take you far
my point?
learn the fundamentals
-storytelling
-great hooks
-why posts go viral
-connecting with emotions
that’s how you build a strong brand
Stop wasting your time
i don’t wait for the perfect
- post
- story
- thread
yet they get 1-2k+ views
how? just write and hit post
give yourself the permission to suck
i hit 400 followers in 7weeks
here are all my secre—
enough of this.
build in public
post 2-3x a day
engage 100x a day
make friends in the DMs
reply to all your comments
and don’t forget to have fun with it.
stick to the basics,
there are really no secrets.
people who claim they
make money on 𝕏 are liars.
you need to slow down on this mentality.
i monetized my brand
in less than 7 weeks
how?
- solve a problem for myself
- use that as a case study
- help others do same
…it’s really simple
my content sucked
spent hours on a post only to get
- 0 view
- 0 comment
- 1 like (from me ofc)
now they average 1.5k views
lesson learned?
keep it simple
write great hooks
show your personality
share stories (be relatable)
The gurus scammed me
Engage 100x daily
DM 5-10x daily
Post 2-3x daily
What they didn’t say?
Write engaging content.
How do you make your content
more engaging? let’s learn bestiess!
You’re not perfect
Stop trying to be.
-Your imperfections
-Your weirdness
-Your flaws
Is what makes you stand out
In the sea of same.
Show who you really are.
That’s how you build a brand.
1 month ago,
I planned to monetize my brand.
Here’s how?
1/. Learn a skill.
2/. Get results for me.
3/. Share how I achieved it.
4/. Create a free offer to teach.
5/. Collect testimonials, scale to paid.
What step did I miss?
Happy weekend 𝕏.
6+ weeks ago
→ a complete newbie
→ no idea of my next steps
→ no idea how to unlock my DM
Today, we’ve grown to 350 followers.
Thanks for being here, yes you.
Love,
your Bestie❤️
l've been on 𝕏 for 5 weeks
My posts average 1k+ views.
My
#1
lesson?
You don't need to be a “Genius”
To grow your personal brand.
You just need to show up.
i wasn't active yesterday
spent the whole day on systems
- new content plan
- new no-brainer offer
- building my newsletter
didn't engage 200x
did the world end? no
the real deal lies in building systems
not engaging 500x/day
what are you working on today?
How I’m creating my own luck on 𝕏.
The Power of One Thing.
- Create on one platform.
- About one problem.
- For one person.
Repetition builds momentum.
Have a productive week.
Stick to being broke.
If you're scared of:
-risks.
-failures.
-mistakes.
-uncertainty.
-showing up daily.
The bitter truth?
Being a creator isn't for everyone.
20 May 2024
-18 bot followers.
-0 clients.
-10 excuses.
20 June 2024
-180 real legends.
-2 free clients.
-0 excuses.
Not a lot but it’s a big W for me.
Stop waiting to take action.
You just need to start.
I struggled with getting views.
Almost wanted to quit.
2 months later?
1k+ views/post on average
Here’s everything I changed
→ shared my stories
→ wrote better hooks
→ kept my writing simple
These made my content stand out
and resonate more with people.
(HNM bestiess!)
we’ve crossed 450 friends!
still feels like a dream
2 months ago
stuck in a low-paying job
frustrated as hell
burned out
today
a strong community
450+ besties
paid clients
thank you for being here <3
I quit 𝕏
Multiple times in the past.
-had no idea about 𝕏 algo.
-could hardly get 50 views.
-had 2 likes on my post (1 from me).
It’s the biggest mistake I ever made.
I should’ve:
-Asked for help.
-Stayed consistent.
-Made friends with people.
Have you quit X in the past?
Stop posting your goals in public!
I’m sorry but I disagree.
It brought me this far.
My July goals
→ reach 600 besties
→ start newsletter
→ hit $500/mo
(1st client for the month bagged)
July’s looking great already, let’s goo!!
You won’t grow on 𝕏.
Here’s why:
Day 1 - Lead generation Expert.
Day 2 - 𝕏 Growth therapist.
Day 3 - Affiliate marketer.
Day 4 - Graphic designer.
Day 5 - Video editor.
Day 6 - Ghostwriter.
Day 7 - SMMA.
Find one niche, stick to it.
For at least 90 days.
21 days on 𝕏.
It taught me to:
- Be authentic.
- Be consistent.
- Engage genuinely.
- Provide free value.
- Build relationships.
What have you learned from 𝕏?
i went from 0→4 paid clients
in just 46 days on 𝕏
the craziest part?
→ no cold outreach
→ no paid retweet
→ no mentorship
here's how i cracked the code 🧵
I'm 3 followers away from 150.
But that's not the point.
➼ 3weeks ago
- 18 followers
- 27 posts
- $0
➼ Today
- 147 followers
- 60+ posts
- $0
My point?
Just keep going,
It'll only get better.
people don’t follow you
just because you are
20 or 50% “better”
they follow you
because have a “different”
- story
- personality
- brand voice
…quit trying to blend in
I’ve been on 𝕏 for 9 weeks
yet to launch my offer
but I get these DMs
how?
build authority
share your journey
be ‘outstandingly different’
people will love to buy from you
…you don’t need 1,000 followers
It’s been 4 weeks,
Since I first hit post.
-Scared.
-Confused.
-Not sure of next steps.
Now we’re here
At 200+ followers.
You guys are just amazing!
Happy Sunday Friends!🫶🏼
We’ve hit the 150 milestone guys.
24 days ago, I started
➼ scared.
➼ confused.
➼ unsure of my next steps.
Today, I have
➼ 150+ friends.
➼ 2 free clients.
➼ 1001 new ideas.
All without begging for likes/follows.
Thank you Legends!
Let’s crush 200🌟
“𝕏 algorithm hates me”
But my posts still get
→ 1-4k+ views
→ 50-100 likes
→ 30-60 comments
with just 300+ followers
but it wasn’t always like this.
what changed? 🧵
I almost skipped posting
haven’t engaged for one week
…what if this post flops?
the result?
- 3k views
- 5+ followers
- 1 inbound lead
the best part? I didn’t engage 1000x
why it went mini viral?
- i hit post
- shared my story
- an engaged audience
You’re not growing
Why?
You’re positioning as an expert.
Instead share:
-lessons learned.
-mistakes you made.
-your struggle to pro.
-how you became a better you.
-problems are you currently facing.
-what you would tell your younger self.
I learnt this the hard way.
I'm stuck.
My growth is slow.
Been focusing on:
-A rebrand.
-My newsletter.
-Stacking up new skills.
Time to get back on track.
How?
-Reply to all comments daily.
-Engage 100times/day.
-Send 5-10 DMs/day.
Simplicity always wins.
Don’t share your losses on 𝕏.
Well, I disagree.
I gained 10+ followers
from just sharing my loss.
Now, we’re 10 away from hitting the 150 milestone.
P.S - Share losses too (Agree/Disagree)?
3 easy ways to sign clients on 𝕏?
1. help people in the DMs
2. help people in the DMs
3. rinse and repeat 1 & 2
give so much free value…
they’ll beg for your paid stuff
First,
They laugh at you.
Then they doubt you.
Then they on hate you.
Then they want to work with you.
Either way, just keep showing up.
Good morning 𝕏.
Day 1 on 𝕏.
I'm scared
of what people may say.
Day 25 on 𝕏.
I’m interested
in what people may say.
It's okay to feel fear at the beginning.
But don’t let that fear stop you.
Show up for yourself.
I want people to care about me.
Great! Talk about your life.
Tell personal stories people:
-are inspired by.
-can relate to.
It forces them to:
-fall in love with you.
-read to the end.
-engage.
That’s how you win on 𝕏.
𝐈’𝐦 𝟏𝟔 𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐧 𝕏.
Here’s how I plan to grow.
- Share as I build.
- Stay consistent.
- Post 2-3x a day.
- Engage 100x a day.
- Make friends in the DMs.
- Reply to all my comments.
What am I missing?
You’ve already failed
If you’re waiting to figure it all out
Before you start doing something.
I’m learning from taking action, you should too.
Have a productive day 𝕏.
𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗫
Great!
Post authority content
Share wins.
Share losses.
Share lessons.
Share the process.
No one will trust you if you don’t show results.
And don’t just show your results.
Explain them step-by-step.
Good morning X!
Need people’s attention?
➼ Learn Copywriting.
Need to keep the attention?
➼ Learn Storytelling.
Need them to take action?
➼ Learn Psychology.
Want to become a better creator?
➼ Combine these 3 skills.
P.S - What skill did I miss?
My brand sucked.
21 days ago,
I started on 𝕏.
I had zero idea
what having a brand voice meant. I..
-sounded like everyone.
-copied popular tones & styles.
-tried so hard to write like DAN KOE.
Ended up feeling like an impostor.
I found my voice with these 3 easy rules👇🏼
Secret hack to hit your goals faster?
Track your progress.
Here’s mine for the week:
-Posted 1 LF.
-Signed 2 free clients.
-Hit 150 follower milestone.
-Started working on my newsletter.
-Completed Tyson’s 4hrs copy course.
Doubling down next week.
P.S - Happy Sunday Fam!
28 days, 170+ Friends later.
7 lessons I’ve learned from 𝕏.
-Flex your wins.
-Keep showing up.
-Share your journey.
-Make mistakes and fail.
-Make friends, not followers.
-Delete your pride, ask for help.
-Learn from those 1-2 steps ahead.
Your most important lesson?
Reading books is useless.
If you:
- Read a book.
- Feel inspired for an hour.
- Forget everything the next.
Don’t just read books.
Take action!
Good morning 𝕏.
Stop sharing your goals with people.
I totally disagree.
It forces you to become accountable.
So, here are my June goals for 𝕏.
-Start my email newsletter.
-Start posting threads.
-Hit 300 followers.
P.S- Share goals in public (Agree/Disagree)
P.S.S-Happy weekend 𝕏.
𝑰 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒅.
By a long shot.
Yesterday, I skipped:
-Posting.
-Networking.
-Engagement.
Results?
-Lost 5 followers
-Got <100 views on my post.
No action, no results.
It’s that simple.
