1/ Tips from @micjm:

-Think of your Twitter account as a channel that provides people with quality content.

-If you water down your signal-to-noise ratio, people will notice and start to pay less attention to your tweets.
2/ Tips from @ZubyMusic:

-To grow your social media following you need to add value by sharing content that is entertaining and/or informative.

-Respond to as many people in the comments as you can and engage with people who have large followings.
3/ Tips from @mkobach:

-Have a private test account on Twitter to see the format of your post before and to catch any typos before it's published in public.

-People treat social media like real life: helpful people are valued and rewarded while self-centered people are ignored.
4/ Tips from @visakanv:

-Twitter allows you to make friends and network with incredibly smart people around the world.

-Making friends means checking in with one another, getting to know each other's personal lives, and helping them out instead of only asking for help.
5/ Tips from @david_perell:

-Cut out any fluff in your tweets, compress your thoughts, and focus on the essence of what’s interesting.

-Publish everything, you never know what will go viral (David's thread about a golfer got 1.5M+ views and he almost decided to not publish it).
That's it for now!

Alright let's do this.

1 retweet = 1 harsh reading truth
No one book is a match for everyone.

Even if a book has 10,000+ 5-star ratings, you might not enjoy it.
You have time to read books, you just aren't prioritizing it.

Twitter is the most powerful social media platform in the world.

However, most people don't know how to use it effectively.

Here are 10 tips that will help you master Twitter...
1/ Allow Me To Introduce Myself

Your Twitter profile is your new business card.

People should be able to quickly understand who you are and what you have to offer.

Pick your banner photo purposefully.

And have a link in your bio so people can learn more about you.

Example:
2/ Content Is King But Format Is Queen

Spacing and formating matters.

When making a list, put the shorter words on top and the longer ones on the bottom.

Bad:

• Banana
• Apple
• Blueberry

Better:

• Apple
• Banana
• Blueberry

(PS: Press alt + 8 for bullet points)

I've read 200+ books.

Here are 10 of the most valuable mental models I've learned from them...
1/ Develop A Growth Mindset

People with a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through practice and hard work.

They believe that with the right amount of training, they can accomplish almost any task that someone else can do.
2/ Change What You Can & Accept What You Can't

If you're unhappy about a situation, do what you can to improve it.

But if there's nothing you can do, then accept your circumstances.

Getting upset isn't going to make things better.

Accept things and wait it out.

Having trouble focusing on what you're reading or remembering what you've read?

You may be suffering from reading fatigue.

Here are 5 tips for overcoming reading fatigue.

(thread) 🧵
1) Take A 5 Minute Break Every 25 Minutes

Taking breaks from reading helps avoid eye strain and prevents reading burnout.

You can also use breaks as a way to reward yourself for reading.

(Ex: Read for 30 mins, go enjoy a snack or stretch out, then go return to reading).
2) Identify Your Chronotype

Are you an early bird or night owl?

You'll be more alert at different times of day and want to read during your peak time.

Reading between 1-3pm in the afternoon is usually not a good time for most people—it’s great time to nap, but not to read.
