I just released the first half of my free guide.
Over the past 41 days…
I’ve been building it to help as many new solopreneurs as possible.
Appreciate it if you could repost and share with someone who would benefit from this.
Grab it below.
It took me 6+ months to realise that…
The more you do offline.
The more unique stuff you have to share online.
Look for inspiration from unusual places.
adidas is about to revolutionise the sneaker industry with its latest Web3 move.
Not a phygital drop.
But something to solve IRL pain points.
Here’s what you need to know (in less than 3 minutes):
🧵👇
My content flops?
I’ll rewrite.
My content does ok?
I’ll refine.
My content does well?
I’ll reshare.
You don’t have to get it right every single time.
Just know how to best react.
Play the long-term game.
The rebrand is here!
Time to say goodbye to my old “Sirka” profile.
(And also the blue tick…for now.)
Here comes the new profile.
The man behind it all.
I just crossed 600 followers. 🚀
I appreciate every single one of you for making this possible.
Thanks everyone.
It has been a fantastic journey.
Stay tuned for more great stuff.
1,000!
A huge thanks to every single one of you here.
But that’s all I want to say about myself.
It’s about time I’m giving back to YOU.
Drop me ONE question.
Anything about growing your brand here.
I’ll reply with my best answer.
How to make money in Web3 without investing a single $.
Start creating content TODAY:
• Content builds brand
• Brand attracts audience
• Audience brings leverage
• Leverage unlocks monetisation opportunities
Don’t just rely on crypto/NFT profit.
Play the positive-sum game.
I reply to every single comment.
I greet all my new followers (except bots) in DM.
I reply to everyone who sends me questions in email with specific tips.
Do things that don’t scale.
That’s how you grow your audience.
I’m here for trust and relationships.
Not vanity.
My life is NOT boring.
I write every day.
I do outreach every day.
I talk to my people every day.
Still…
I exercise every day.
I watch tennis every day.
I enjoy new coffee every day.
You don’t need to live a dull one to get results.
Live a fulfilled one instead.
My story flops?
I’ll rewrite.
My story does ok?
I’ll refine.
My story does well?
I’ll reshare.
You don’t have to get it right every single time.
Just know how to best react.
Play the long-term game.
I woke up to see someone copying my thread…
Word by word.
Here’s the best part.
There’s also a CTA to follow
@TheSirka
at the end too (this is great 😂).
Again, word by word like how I wrote in my original thread.
Lesson learnt:
Don’t forget to proofread before you tweet.
Under 524 followers?
Here’s what I did to break through:
• 1 post a day
• 2 long-forms a week
• DMs to everyone who engaged
Sound good?
Nail your content.
Nail your conversation.
It took me 6+ months to realise that…
The more you do offline.
The more unique stuff you have to share online.
Look for inspiration from unusual places.
It’s now open!
The Roastory is the only coffee shop that will make you a better storyteller.

It took me 10 hours to write my first thread.
I felt like a failure back then.
But that’s ok.
You have to fail before you succeed.
Don’t fear failure, seek it.
You’ll either succeed or learn something new.
Now, do you see the downside here?
Because I don’t.
My list has maintained an open rate of 72%.
It has been at this level because of one thing:
My email mini course as a lead magnet.
Here’s how I build it and so can you:
(It’s simpler than you think.)
AI is revolutionising content creation.
ChatGPT disrupted the copywriting world.
Midjourney disrupted the art world.
But what about NFT? Can it be disrupted?
Here’s the answer to “AI + NFT = ???”
🧵👇
I just cruised past 800 followers.
Big cheers to every single one of you!
(Even if some are bots but who cares lol.)
As a huge thank you…
Here are the 8 lessons I wish I knew when I started my creator journey:
Last month I struggled with growth.
Lone wolf mindset held me back.
So for the past weeks I’ve:
• Done 16 networking calls
• Given 5 consulting calls
• Sent countless DMs
Engagement shot back up.
Stop trying to beat the algorithm.
Make more supportive friends.
I struggled with growth 2 months ago.
But now I’ve got:
• 760+ fans
• 50+ high-quality leads
• 15+ incoming DMs every day
How?
I doubled down on leadership long-forms (LLFs)
Here’s why it’s the first thing you should master (steal my simple system at the end):
Learning new skills is tough.
But remaining stagnant is worse.
11 years ago I learnt partying.
8 years ago I learnt photo editing.
4 years ago I learnt modelling (Excel not fashion).
1 year ago I learnt online writing.
What skills are you stacking?
I just hit 500 followers this week.
We did it!
Big cheers to everyone for your continued support.
The journey has been incredible, but this is only the beginning.
Stay tuned for more great stuff.
You guys rock!
I turned my personal brand 180° after 3-month slump.
From rotten red to gorgeous green:
• Impressions +182%
• Profile visits +239%
• New followers +56%
All because I changed my content strategy.
Here are the 3 content types I post to get this result (and so can you):
I’ve been building my creator brand for 7+ months.
There were…
Mistakes I could’ve avoided.
Wins I could’ve achieved sooner.
But it has been one incredible journey.
Here are my 5 lessons from 2023 to get you closer to your dream in 2024:
1. Focus
One of my early mistakes:
Comment just to tick the box.
Missed out big time on chances to deepen the connection with my audience.
Instead…
Treat it like how you talk to people in real life.
Start your conversation.
That’s it I’m outta here!
No more content from me…
In the next 20 hours.
I’ll soon be:
• Moving at 540+ mph
• 36,000+ ft above ground
• On a trip to my favourite city
More photos coming your way later.
Stay tuned!
Web3 space is fast-changing.
You’ll succeed if you're a perpetual learner.
Because what works today may not work tomorrow here.
Educate yourself every single day.
3 posts a day.
10 DMs a day.
50 comments a day.
It’s a great strategy for sure.
But is it the story you want to tell your kids 10 years from now?
That’s why I’d rather stick with what makes me fulfilled (even if it means breaking the status quo).
Write your own unique story.
I got suspended 3 times this week.
No clue why though.
But gotta be more careful from now.
So for the next few days…
Here’s my strategy:
• Zero DM
• Zero content
• Zero engagement
Try this if you’re struggling with too much impression lol.
Speak soon!
I’ve written 85+ long-form posts.
Stories.
How-tos.
Case studies.
Done them all.
But the one that got me the most traffic?
Leadership long-forms.
Share what it took you to get results (incl. mistakes).
Show your willingness to “go first”.
Struggling to share your stories?
I used to feel that too.
But this ONE mindset shift helped me:
“The story you never shared could have changed someone’s life.”
That someone is waiting for you.
Do it.
“I’m not an expert on any topics.”
“Who cares about my content, I’m just a beginner.”
“I need to be an expert first before I write about something.”
Stop with these thoughts.
Here’s how to grow on Twitter even if you’re not an expert:
🧵👇
I’ve done 12 consulting calls in the past 51 days.
Everyone struggles with many challenges.
But deep down.
It’s this ONE issue:
Lack of clarity.
You’re stuck cause you don’t know your destination.
Forget about your content for a sec.
Ask yourself “Why are you here?” first.
Every moment is a content idea.
Good news:
You experience 20,000+ of them every day.
Bad news:
You’ll lose them all.
Unless you stop living your life on cruise control.
Don’t let them go to waste.
Capture more.
Are you struggling with direction?
A few things you can do:
Share why you are here.
Share where you used to be.
Share what you want to achieve.
Whatever’s missing in the middle is the only path you need.
Write your origin story.
You’re building a personal brand…
Not a Google results page.
Share more about yourself:
• Jokes
• Beliefs
• Mistakes
• Experiences
• Achievements
Invite your audience into your life.
This post is NOT an example.
“I don’t have stories to share.”
No you don’t need something huge.
Start with your everyday moments instead:
• Finishing a new book
• Getting stuck in a traffic
• Having avocado for the first time
The smaller, the more relatable, the more memorable.
Connect with stories.
You’re ONE story away from reaching your dream.
Keep sharing stories of your:
• Wins
• Losses
• Lessons learnt
Inspire others to get closer to their goals.
Your time will come.
700 followers and still going strong.
I was at 600 not too long ago.
It felt like yesterday.
But all of this wouldn’t be possible without the support from every single one of your here.
Big cheers.
And…
Stay tuned for more alpha.
✅ 800 followers.
If you’re part of this, please know that you’re freaking AWESOME.
You know who you are.
Huge huge huge thank you to every single one of you for being part of my journey and growing together.
Much love.
Struggling to find story ideas?
Here’s what I do (and so can you):
• Hop on calls
• Listen to podcasts
• Eat more avocados
• Stand still in the shower
• Replay my day before bed
Explore during the day, reflect during the night.
I grew my account to 183 cm in 30 years.
Struggling to grow?
It’s ok.
I got stuck at 140 cm 20 years ago too.
But after doing 3 things.
My growth skyrocketed.
Grab my Height Booster to get my secret.
FREE for 0 hours.
Actually I’ll share it now.
Eat, exercise, rest well.
Sharing great stories is simpler than you think.
The goal is to connect with people.
How?
Relatable moments:
• Chatting with a friend
• Getting stuck in a queue
• Going to a new restaurant
You don’t need something life-changing.
You need small everyday moments.
Vacation time.
I’m in London for the next 2 weeks.
I’ll be less active on Twitter.
But more on:
• Having a cuppa tea
• Watching Wimbledon
• Enjoying British banter
• Binging on baked beans
• Getting stuck at tube stations
Don’t forget to touch grass.
See you around.
Web3 is growing fast.
But we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible.
That’s why I’ve been sharing with you my thoughts on its future potential.
Here’s an ongoing thread featuring my Web3 threads in one place:
🧵👇
“I don’t have stories to share.”
You mean…
You never note down your everyday moments?
Here’s my super simple system:
• On the go → Use Notion widget for quick capture
• End of day → Write 1-2 sentences on your moment of the day
Capture often or lose forever.
Airdrops of $ARB, $BLUR, and $OP are great for your wallets.
But here’s another one that’s great for the whole of Web3 space:
Email-based NFT airdrop.
Here’s how
@UnlockProtocol
could trigger Web3 mass onboarding:
🧵👇
I used to compare my progress to others.
But that got me nowhere until I realised…
Everyone has their own path and pace.
Never: You vs them.
Always: You vs you.
Stay sane by competing in your own lane.
There are 2 cafes in front of my house.
One with a clear entrance sign.
One with a fancy sign blending in with the bush like Homer Simpson.
The former is always packed.
The latter is always empty every time I walk past.
Lesson?
What a waste of time.
I spent weeks choosing my banner before I launched this account.
I could’ve used that time to publish almost a month worth of content.
And improve from feedback.
Lesson learnt:
Prioritise progress over perfection.
It gets you nowhere.
My content flops?
I’ll rewrite.
My content does ok?
I’ll refine.
My content does well?
I’ll reshare.
You don’t have to get it right every single time.
Just know how to best react.
Play the long-term game.
On being Web3 content creator growing personal brand.
Family and friends often ask “what's your work?”.
Tough part: I don’t have a perfect answer.
Best part: I get to work on something unique.
Follow your passion.
Don’t let society tell you what to do.
Here to support you.
A weekend well spent:
A few DMs.
A grilled avocado.
A market research call.
A brunch with old friends.
A cup of single-origin coffee.
A bout to post this.
More value ≠ More stand out
I’m not here telling you to stop dropping them.
But here’s what happened when I…
Write with personality.
Be known for being yourself.
The best content to scale your brand:
Your personal story.
You don’t need life-changing ones.
You need your everyday moments.
The smaller, the more relatable, the more memorable.
That’s how you build an authentic audience.
Invite them into your world.
I don’t know about you.
But stories I remember always make me feel something.
The next time you write…
Use sensory language in your story.
Instead of:
“It was a sunny day.”
Go for:
“I was sweating like a penguin in the desert.”
Let them feel what you felt.
Struggle of a creator.
Went into the shower earlier today.
A great idea came up.
Turned off the shower immediately.
Reached for my phone.
Pfft!
Lost the idea when I was about to type it down.
Is this just me?
11,300+ posts later I now realise…
I’ve been complicating my content.
You only need 3 things to write one that influences:
• Relatable story
• Actionable tip
• Crisp CTA
Keep it simple.
Are you struggling to grow on Twitter?
I made countless mistakes in my first 100 days here so you don’t have to.
If you’re an upcoming creator.
Here are my 7 lessons to drag you out of Twitter’s “beginner hell”:
🧵👇
I heard people are sharing less long-forms.
Low reach?
Too much effort?
Selfies taking over?
You say it’s a sign to walk away.
I say it’s a sign to double down!
Wanna stand out?
Do what others won’t.
Sometimes life gets in the way.
Haven’t progressed much in the past 10 days.
But it’s ok cause…
The next 30 days are gonna be awesome.
My October goals:
• Launch consulting offer
• Send first newsletter
• Earn first dollars
Without mentioning “followers”, what’s yours?
To all my fellow creators.
February → 40 new followers
March (10 days so far) → 100 new followers
Look, this is neither me bragging nor a huge growth.
But…
💡 Here's what I learnt: Growth is NOT linear.
So…
Stick to your goal, trust the process, and enjoy your journey.
Here are 2 things you need for your content:
1. Personality (all about you)
• Your voice
• Your conviction
• Your perspective
2. Personalisation (all about them)
• Valuable to them
• Relevant to them
• Resonating to them
Not just one.
But both.
Find your right balance.
