Twitter Growth 101

~3 months ago I had 54 followers.

Today:
• I have 5,000 friends here
• my threads have reached 4M people

Here are 8 tips to grow a small account:
1. Build authentic relations

How? By being:

1. kind
2. polite
3. Human
4. curious
5. friendly
6 authentic
7. generous

People come to Twitter to build an audience but stay for the community.

I try to engage with small and big accounts daily.

Start a conversation 🤗❤️
2. Share your journey

I've been sharing my journey since day 1.

Success isn't the goal, growing and sharing is.

Each step further helps someone who comes after you.

People will learn both with your successes and failures.

3. Build a community

People don't want to follow a broadcaster.

Instead, they want to be part of the journey.

Involve them frequently. Build your community.
Give them the power to speak.

How?

Use voting polls, make questions, show up when asked, host Twitter Spaces.
4. Help others succeed, and you'll succeed

Helping others has no cost at all.

It costs $0 to retweet.
It costs $0 to comment.
It costs $0 to believe in someone.

Help others succeed. How?

Reply to their DMs, reply to their comments, retweet their threads.

Love.
5. Be disciplined, stay consistent

You have to show up every single day.

How?

By commenting on other people's stuff, retweeting someone else's content, etc.

I've shown up every day for the past 56 days, even when I don't want to.

Keep publishing.

6. Don't be afraid of failing

You'll fail often. Much more than you've ever thought.

You know what? Nobody cares.

All you have to do is to keep pushing.

Eg.: getting to 50k followers by year-end is barely impossible.
Still, I'll do my best, even if I fail in public.
7. Learn how to use Analytics

Twitter Analytics is one of the most underrated tools out there.

Why?

Because it helps you:
• find your niche
• find what's working
• grow your audience

Don't know how to start using it?

Start here 👇
8. Help people figure out complex topics

People don't have the time to catch up on hot topics.

Make sure to help them.

How?

By:
• deconstructing complex topics
• curating good-quality resources
• sharing your learnings about something worthy

If you're here -- Thanks for reading.

Today I'm not writing a thread.

Instead, I'm doing these 👇
• Sleep
• Rest
• Be with my family
• Watch a movie
We shouldn't glorify the hustle.

Instead, we should:

• Sleep well
• Eat well
• Balance street
• Find enjoyment
• Live happily.

WTF is Web 3.0? The 2nd thread of the series

Now that we know what Blockchain is, how can we trust it?

How do we guarantee that every "block" in the "chain" is valid?

Blockchain 101: Solving trusting issues 🧵👇
Disclaimer:

If you know what Blockchain is, then feel free to keep reading.

If not, then please start here 👇

0. The foundation

Trust plays a big role in the Blockchain.

But how do we build trust?

We build trust by having an agreed set of consistent behaviors.

Eg.: if I say "I love my girlfriend", she expects a certain behavior from me.

To be faithful, avoid lying, be friendly...⬇️

WTF is Web 3.0?

Even if you’re hiding under a rock, I am sure you’d have heard of:

• Blockchain
• Bitcoins
• Web 3.0
• NFTs
• DAOs, and all that jazz before right?

So many buzzwords. It's time to break them down.

Blockchain 101: where it all begins 👇🧵
0. What is Blockchain Technology?

The easiest way to explain it is by saying that:

Blockchain is a database that is not managed by a single company.

Instead, it's managed by multiple people, making it a peer-to-peer database and thereby, making it decentralized.
1. But why do we need something this complex?

👉 To build trust.

Let's see the following eg.:

Imagine some friend of yours, traveling around the world, asks you $10.

You say yes and ... ⬇️

In 30 years, Pixar grew from being Steve Jobs side project to becoming a creative powerhouse.

Their secret's success lies in their "22 Rules For Storytelling".

The rules are a must-read for many, but MOSTLY for Creators.

Here's a breakdown on how to implement each one 👇🧵
0. Storytelling plays a huge role in any Creator's journey.

Our work is about using communication skills to bring people to our journey.

Storytelling is the essence of communication, and these rules if well applied, can help you move people's hearts.

It's time for the rules 😍
1. "You admire a character for trying more than for their successes"

We Human beings love the story, the journey, the hard times, more than the successes.

As a Creator make sure to share the "how" and "why" of your journey.

Eg: I'm on a journey to get 50k followers by year-end
