27 tweets/day avg.
6 "original"
21 by engaging
And got:
+834 followers
~700k impressions
~3.700 profile clicks
Here are 12 strategies on how to do it 🧵👇

Here are 12 strategies on how to do it 🧵👇
1/ Plan your week in advance
Every Sunday I plan my week before I focus on creating content.
This will give you clarity about what matters for each day of the week and allow you to block time to take care of your content accordingly.

2/ Define your Thread day
Having a well-defined day to publish your thread makes a huge difference when it comes to being consistent in the long term.
A lot of work goes before publishing, that way you'll be able to focus on every small task to ship the thread you want.

3/ Batch Twitter
Batch your Twitter interactions.
I batch my idea generation and outline thread writing on Sundays.
I also batch the moment I reply to comments, DMs and engage with people every day during the week.
This way I can be 100% focused & committed every moment.

4/ Make the time
I hear a lot of people telling me they just "can't find the time to be on Twitter".
To show up every day, you need to make out the time in advance.
Block it.
This will become your "Sacred Time": the time of the day that you set aside to be on Twitter.

5/ Create templates
80% of my job is about answering emails, creating Powerpoint slides, and making Excel analyses.
Invest time creating templates to accelerate your day-to-day job.
Some templates are:
*meeting notes
*roadmaps
*features comparisons
*benchmarks
*business cases

6/ Automate tasks
As creators, we have a ton of tasks we can automate.
The same goes for our daily jobs.
For distribution use:
*Zapier
*IFTTT
To schedule tweets:
*Hypefurry
*Typefully
Pro tip: create email rules:
*save emails in folders
*set automatic replies

7/ Play with timezones
Tweet as soon as you wake up.
End the day by engaging and Retweeting your best content.
This way you'll seem to be online 24h/day.
That's how I do it.
I have different timezones on my iPhone and use them accordingly in my Twitter daily usage.

8/ Do the work in advance
A ton happens before posting. Start doing it days before.
Some of that work is
* Writing down Tweet and threads ideas
* Taking notes from podcasts, articles, threads, etc
Leverage tech to do it:
*Readwise
*Threader
*Notion
*Evernote
*Bear
*Pocket

9/ Use Twitter Deck
Much of our work as creators is to filter the noise that goes on in the platform.
To do it create Lists and use Twitter Deck.
You'll engage much better with people and write faster by using your Laptop keyboard.
Don't be on your phone during work hours!

10/ Go for a walk
Don't let the "online" world drain your energy.
Go for a walk, be in contact with nature. It will help you find balance and put things in perspective.
Not every day will be a great day. Don't despair, keep showing up, keep improving on your craft.

11/ Change your mindset
Going from Consumer to Creator is the first step.
Now stop telling yourself "I want to become a Creator".
Instead.
Start telling yourself "I am a Creator".
After this mindset change, start treating your content creation work as a professional athlete.

12/ Find love-life balance
Stop chasing work-life balance.
Instead.
Focus on love-life balance.
Maximize the things you love doing in life.
If you have to answer a work email at late hours then do it.
It will build trust with your peers and help you value more what you love.
