Stop worrying about Twitter Algorithm & the Best time to tweet.

Here are 6 lessons I've learned after posting over 11,000 tweets and growing an audience of over 11,000.

THREAD 🧡 ↓
1. If your content is good, It will skyrocket on its own no matter what.

My tweets have gone viral with ZERO planning.

Focus on providing value and give your best shot.

Don't worry about the things which are not in your control.
2. Even if a single person found your content insightful, It's worth it.

The Twitter algorithm will never show all your tweets to all followers so stop worrying about it.

Even if you have a small following, It's completely fine If one person is getting value out of it.
