After my last post, many people asked why I'm suddenly active on Twitter

I'll credit this to someone I haven't met - @balajis

I'm kicking myself for not building on Twitter earlier.

🧵 Here are the 3 main reasons why I started and why everyone (especially founders) should...

1/ "Failure to build an audience is like failing to build a website. It's a necessary task" - @balajis

Share your message unfiltered by going direct.

Become your own champion.

I've seen too many founders misquoted, for another's individual benefit.

2/ "Build a like-minded community in the cloud" - @balajis

Twitter has been amazing for me.

I've made critical company decisions, just based on what I've learnt here (more on this coming later).

Seriously, can't believe this site is free.

3/ Hiring - "Many founders aren’t hiring from Harvard. They’re hiring from Twitter. - @balajis

Hiring an engineer, designer, copywriter?

Typical university credentials don't mean much anymore.

The best people are building portfolios in public.

4/ tl;dr:

It's never too late to start building your own audience.

I am an introvert and I'm doing it. So can you!

I'm writing this to pay it forward.
