I went from 3K followers to 14.3K by hiring a growth agency on Instagram

After I stopped paying, I dropped down to 13.9K

I bleed followers every time I posted

Got discouraged, so I quit

30 days ago, I began posting times/day

"Magically" I grew...

How?

Let me try to explain
Seems quantity + consistency are the keys

Notice I'm not talking about quality yet.

All I'm doing is posting screenshots of my tweets, which are greatly written, but it's only a screenshot.

I'm not getting them designed for Instagram.

I'm just posting.
At this very moment, my IG audience is being served the following:
It's frustrating to post and not get quick results, but... it's worse not posting at all

So I'll stick to screenshots for a long time

Once I get a hang of what to post on IG, I'll transition to more 'IG-friendly' posts: better design, more carousels, and entertaining fleets.
"What about stories?"

I post around 5-10 stories a day.

I record myself talking for a minute... that's 4 stories right there (stories are 15 second long)

I also share other ppl's posts and my own.
"What about hashtags?"

I asked myself, how can I avoid spending time on hashtag research?

The answers?

Theft.

I just stole @PathToManliness's and @LifeMathMoney's hashtags (I believe I told them both – I think... if not... thank you for your hard work 😂)
What you just read is not advice.

Ignore most of what I have to say about IG growth.

These tweets are an attempt to clarify my thinking.

I'm sharing my crappy first thoughts on Twitter because I want you to see how I struggle with things that are outside of my expertise

Make Your First $1000 With Twitter Even If You Have Less Than 1K Followers

\ thread
Myth:
It's impossible to make money with Twitter if you have less than 1000 followers

Reality:
If you can solve problems, you can make money with Twitter.
Let's say you've been posting regularly for a while.

You already have 500 followers.

You're getting likes.

And people are commenting.

So why wait to start monetizing?

Here's the way.

Aaron was broke, depressed, and in debt.

His life consisted of boozing and partying.

This led to the lowest point of his life.

But in 2020, something changed inside of him...

And what he did, took him from being in debt to making $10K/mo

\ thread
In April 2020, @IAmAaronWill joined Twitter.

There he discovered what he needed to change his life forever.

- Network
- Mindset
- Skills

But he still was $1978 in debt.

And was struggling to make ends every month.
Aaron spent his last $22 on a web design course created by @thedankoe.

This course became his go-to guide to make money.

He put in the work.

And won.

Today, Aaron has 46K followers on Twitter and his newfound skill makes him 10K/month.

6 Steps I Took To Quit My Job

These steps helped me make a full-time income online.

Which eventually grew to multi-6-figure biz.

\Thread\
Step 1: Learn A Skill

I studied graphic design at college.

I soon realized companies in the Dominican Republic didn't pay designers well.

So learned web design.

Started with HTML and CSS

Then PHP, JavaScript, and WordPress.
Step 2: Get Your First Clients

My first client was my godmother.

My second client was my girlfriend's church friends.

(We're now married – seems I did a good job)

Never underestimate reaching out to your friends and acquaintances.

Get those testimonials.

How did a full-time English Literature student scale her content creation business to 6-figure?
I met Shreya in October 2020.

She's a 21-year-old girl from India. She reached out to me on Instagram to offer me her content creation service.
Back then, I was looking for someone to design posts for my Instagram page, so I agreed to the meeting.

Shreya sent me the Zoom link, I clicked it, and there we were, talking about the future of my IG page.

How I Made My First 6-figures Online
(and how you can too)

\ Thread
I'm a family man that lives in the Dominican Republic.

I monetized my skills online while writing and speaking in a second language.

And after tons of trial and error, I cracked the code.

Today, I'll show the 8 steps I took to make my first $100K using social media.
Step #1: Choose A Niche

My biggest regret was trying to serve everyone when I started.

Don't be like me. Be better.

Pick a niche (as I did later)

Focus on serving people in that niche.

This is how you become an authority in their eyes.
