It was my favorite challenge yet but it was also a hard one for me.
I was dealing with sick family members, the loss of an aunt, and hundreds of notifications due to a tweetstorm that I may have caused.
I did it anyway. 🧵
I reached out to 10 people via DM. The biggest challenge was figuring out who to DM.
7 of the people were people in my Twitter lists that I had yet to interact with. 3 were people that were mutual follows that I had not interacted with.
Out of the 10, 5 responded within 12 hrs
I have no problem DMing people as I've seen the value of connecting.
I have hundreds of DM's and I have had well over 100 Zoom calls in the past 5 months.
This challenge convinced me I need to be even more intentional.
5 Things I've learned from the last 6 months on Twitter:
A thread🧵
1. Reinvent yourself.
I joined Twitter in 2007. I was tweeting about completely random stuff. I was inconsistent and uninteresting.
In 2021, I showed up with an intention to connect around topics related to relationships.
It's ok to change!
2. Join a community.
I owe a lot of my success to #ship30for30. Through this powerful writing community I have found my voice. ... and you know when you find your voice you find your fire.
