Want to make money from Twitter but don't have an audience yet?

I've helped several creators go from 0 to 5k to 10k and over 20k followers.

Here's 5 Shortcuts you can take to go from 0 to 2000 followers in 30-60 days

Bookmark this one

Let's get started 👇
Why 2,000 followers?

Because in order to monetize your account, you need an engaged audience of at least 1,000-2,000 followers

If you apply the tips I'm about to share here...

You can realistically hit 2k followers in as little as 1-2 months

👇👇
# 1 Optimize Your Profile

People overthink their profile but it boils down to just two things;

a) A good profile pic

b) Bio which highlights ONE thing you want to be known for

Best way to learn is with examples

In each of these brands, there is NO confusion as to...
what they are about.

Bonus: Add social proof to back up your claim.

Ex. If you're a SaaS founder, flex your revenue numbers and how fast you achieved them.

If you're a health coach, talk about your journey from fat to fit or how many clients you've helped lose weight
# 2 DM big accounts

Drill this into your mind "Twitter is a networking tool"

The more relationships you have with big accounts (ie them following you), the faster you will grow.

And the best way to build relationships with big accounts is to DM them.

VERY IMPORTANT....
Do NOT spam people.

Lead with value by offering something for free.

Could be a genuine compliment.

Could be a solution to a problem they tweeted about.

Could be an offer that helps them

Just don't be a social retard.

All DM "strategies" are 99% just being a normal person...
# 3 Reply and Quote RT

Noticed how I haven't said anything about tweeting yet?

That's because you have no followers yet.

That means no one is seeing your tweets.

BUT.

People do read comments under the tweets of bigger accounts.

So that's where you will get new followers..
Find 10-20 accounts in the 5k-20k range who are in your niche

Add them to a *private* list

This is now your new timeline.

Everyday, spend 20 mins looking through this list and commenting and RT quoting with VALUE

If you have nothing to add, DON'T COMMENT

Do NOT force this..
# 4 Tweet 3-5x a day

This is more about habit building than getting exposure because at the beginning, you're not going to get many people reading your tweets.

But you do need to tweet something because as people start to see your profile...

They need to see...
what you're about.

I recommend spending 20mins every morning writing a bunch of tweets (keep them valuable and relevant to your ONE THING)

Then spend 20-40 mins in the afternoon engaging and DMing

That's an hour a day.

ANYONE can do this.

One more tip... 👇
# 5 Story Thread

As the name implies, a story thread is a thread which tells your story.

But which story to tell?

The one which answers this question "What's the most impressive thing I've done in my niche?"

If you're a SaaS founder, tell us the story of how you built a ...
successful SaaS

If you're a former addict, tell us the story of how you quit your addiction.

And so on and so forth.

After you write the thread, you want to do two things:

1) Pin it to your feed.

and a bonus secret move....👇👇
2) Pay for bigger accounts to RT the thread (H/T to @OneJKMolina for this)

Most accounts charge $25-50 per RT depending on the size of their account and level of engagement

Do this a few times and spend $100-200 on RTs, you'll hit 2k followers in no time.

ONE MORE THING 👇👇
If you already have an audience of at least 1000 followers and you're NOT making *at least* 5k/mth, I have a program that will help you hit that income.

DM me to learn more.

📕 7 uncommon non-fiction books every man must read

Hint: you won't find any of these titles on your guru's reading list

👇👇
1) The Conquest of Happiness - Bertrand Russell

Don't let the cheesy name fool you.

This book goes deep on what causes unhappiness and happiness.

Written in 1930, the lessons are just as applicable today if not more.

If you only read one book from this list, make it this one
2) Rebel without a crew - Robert Rodriguez

True story about how a 23 year old filmmaker made a feature length film on a $7,000 budget and sold it to one of the biggest players in Hollywood.

A must read for all creative people.

Extremely under rated autobiography.

Threads are the # 1 moonshot strategy to grow your Twitter following.

Ex: @shaanvp gained 20k followers in 24 hrs from ONE thread.

The crazy part?

He uses a backdoor 7 step technique that hijacks the human brain.

Here’s a summary for those who are locked out :

👇👇
Building an audience on Twitter boils down to one thing:

Optimising for shareability.

On Twitter, this means retweets.

You might have the best content on the platform but who cares if no one is seeing it?

The solution:

Start by asking “what do you want them to feel?”...
Step # 1 pick a core emotion

There are 8 core emotions that maximize shareability

1) NSFW that's crazy!
2) LOL that's so funny
3) OHHH *now* I get it!
4) WOW that's amazing!
5) AWW that's sooo cute
6) YAY that's great news!
7) WTF that pisses me off
8) FINALLY someone said it!

Your guru lied to you.

Non-fiction books are overrated AF.

Brain scans show people who read fiction have healthier brains than people who only read non-fiction

Here’s why 👇👇
Disclaimer: non-fiction isn’t bad for you. But nonfiction is limited in terms of what it can do for your brain.

Ideally, your reading diet should have both fiction and nonfiction titles.

If you only read nonfiction, you’re limiting your ability to...
think and improve your brain health.

Have you ever wondered why it’s so rare the movie adaption is as good as the book despite all the advanced special effects?

It’s because no special effect can beat your brain’s power to imagine.

Studies show that reading fiction...

Benjamin Franklin:
> Born into poverty with 16 siblings
> Dropped out of school at age 10

Also Benjamin Franklin
> Got wealthy as a publisher
> Co-authored the US Declaration of Independence and U.S Constitution

Here are 3 methods he used to teach himself how to write well:

🧵
What I'm about to share with you is short but immensely useful for learning how to write, learn and think.

I suggest you bookmark this thread and read Franklin's autobiography.

If you want to share the love, I'd appreciate a retweet of the first tweet ☝

Let's get you writing
Background:

At age 16, Benjamin Franklin comes to the realisation he doesn't know how to write well

“I fell far short in elegance of expression, in method and in perspicuity…”

perspicuity = clarity

Franklin devised a plan to clever plan to become a better writer ...

If you took the top 1% of people from 4 different industries, you'll find they all have one thing in common

They're Masterful Storytellers.

Here are 5 Neurological reasons why storytelling is the number one skill you can learn, regardless of your job or career

**THREAD**
1) (MRI) Brain scans show that stories activate more parts of your brain than facts and figures

You literally use more of your brain when you listen to a story vs reading a list of facts and figures.

Stories give you a richer neural experience which means you...
enjoy the experience more, you comprehend the information at a deeper level and therefore you'll retain it longer.

This is why we forget 90% of what we learned at school because schools mostly teach you lessons through rote memory rather than through stories.
