I grew my Twitter account by 3300% in May.

You can too if you're willing to put in the work.

5 simple steps to up your Twitter game today.
🧡
1/ Show Up:

Yes, it's that easy, (kind of).

Be active, create quality content, and interact with others in your niche.

Do this daily and you'll stand out from the crowd quicker than you think.

Sound too simple? Simple usually works.
2/ Network:

Have a favorite account you follow?

Reach out!

Comment on their posts, share their content with others, add insight to the conversation.

Ask what YOU can do for them.

Do this & you'll get noticed.
3/ Create more than you consume:

Consuming content is fine, but it can't be the main activity.

Taking action is the key.

Set aside time each day to focus solely on creating YOUR content
4/ Distribution

Talent without distribution is wasted.

You've scheduled time each day for creating content,

You must also allow time to focus on distribution. (DM's, Tags, Comments, etc.)

The best writing doesn't matter if no one sees it.
5/ Threads

For me, this has been the main driver of growth.

Threads allow readers to learn more about you, your writing style, and what they can expect should they choose to follow.

Quality > Quantity when it comes to threads.

Introducing the most eccentric millionaire you've never heard of:

β€’Net Worth > $50M
β€’Over 3500 Patents to his name
β€’Part Steve Jobs, Part Leonard Da Vinci:
(According to Himself)

Who is Yoshiro Nakamatsu??
πŸ‘‡πŸ»
1/ Meet, Yoshiro Nakamatsu, or "Dr. Nakamats" as he is commonly referred to.

Born June 26, 1928. He's quite possibly the most prolific inventor in the history of humankind.

At least, that's the story if you ask him.
2/ Nakamatsu claims to have over 3,500 patents to his name.

Let's put that in perspective...

Thomas Edison, I'm guessing you've heard of him, secured 1,903 patents as of his death in 1931.

This would mean Nakamatsu has roughly 3X the number of patents as Edison.

In 1866, Jasper Daniel founded a small distillery in Lynchburg, TN.

155 years later, his namesake sells over 13M cases / year

You know it as Jack Daniel's

The name you don't know?

Pour a glass πŸ₯ƒ, and I'll tell you of the man behind the brand

Nathan "Nearest" Green
πŸ‘‡πŸ»
1/ Born in Lynchburg, TN in the mid 1800s

Jasper Newton Daniel, or "Jack" as he would come to be known, was the youngest of 10 children born to Calaway and Lucinda Daniel

For Jack, early life was hard

Both his mother and father would pass away not long after his birth
2/ Orphaned, Jack would find refuge when taken in by a local preacher, grocer & distiller named Dan Call

Mr. Call, having an abundance of work, saw promise in young Jack and set about teaching him to run his moonshine still

At least that's what we were told...
