It’s been almost 3 months to the day since my first thread.

Over that time:
+7,400,000 impressions
+7,400 followers

I attribute it all to @SahilBloom and his Audience Building Course.

His next cohort class takes place in January.

If you want to grow on Twitter, read this 👇🧵
Context (1/2):

On 9/10/21, I saw this tweet from Shaan.

2 days later I purchased the course.

Context (2/2):

On 9/25 I binge-watched 5 days worth of recordings from the class because I couldn't attend live.

I fired off my first thread on 9/27

Here's a breakdown of my progress 👇
Total Stats MoM

Oct:
• 231,000 impressions
• 1,500 profile clicks
• 276 followers

Nov:
• 6,450,000 impressions
• 20,030 profile clicks
• 6,880 followers
Below is what the November followers chart looks like 🏒

The majority of this growth came from one thread.

That's the Sahil Bloom Effect.

+3,000,000 impressions
+28,700 likes
+9,000 retweets
+5,000 followers

At the time of this thread, I had just over 600 followers.
But it's much more than just the numbers.

There’s only one way to get that type of engagement.

Community.

That’s the secret sauce of Sahil’s course.

I came for tactical Twitter growth tactics.

But left with a community.
A group of like-minded people trying to achieve the same goal as you:

Build an audience on Twitter.

3 months later and our WhatsApp group is more active now than it was during the course.

If I didn’t have this group, I likely would’ve quit long ago.
It’s very motivating to see your peers popping off great content every week.

Special shoutout to:
@dklineii
@bbourque
@SSokoliuk
@AliTheCFO
@heymaxkoh
@chrisxmunn
@DanesaGlez
@MrJacobEspi
@MishadaVinci
@joycekettering
@nathanbaugh27

All destined for big things.
The next cohort starts 1/18/2022

You don’t want to miss it.

There's probably less than 100 spots left based on Sahil's newsletter from today.

Over 300 billion emails are sent daily.

Few are worth your attention.

How do you stand out?

THREAD: A newsletter framework everyone should model after.
I've sent over 100,000,000 marketing emails in my career.

I've subscribed to hundreds of newsletters.

Alex Garcia's (@alexgarcia_atx) "Marketing Examined" newsletter checks all the boxes.

Let's break down 5 ways he's able to cut through the noise 👇
1/ He stands out in the inbox

Two tactics:

1. The signature emoji 🔍

It's memorable and makes it easy to find his emails.

2. The profile gif

He is the only person in my inbox that has this.

Unique and hard to miss.

Everyone on Twitter has advice on how to improve your marketing.

But who's looking out for the customer?

THREAD: Stop falling for these 10 marketing tricks.
1/ The Decoy Price

A few items are listed next to each other.

Each product has a different price.

One is intentionally overpriced.

The overpriced item makes the lower-priced items look more appealing.
2/ The Left Digit Effect

The first number we read is the left-most number.

This causes us to overvalue it psychologically.

$50.00 vs $50.01 feels the same.

$49.99 vs. $50.00 feels like a much bigger difference.

That's why most prices end in $0.99

We're all too busy at work.

But we don't need to be.

10 ways to work smarter, not harder 🧵
1/ Frontload your day/week

Put your most important tasks at the beginning of your day/week.

You'll have more energy to tackle them early on before distractions pop up.

Pro tip: identify your ONE BIG THING each day 👇
2/ Set shorter deadlines

Parkinson's Law says that work expands to fill the time available for its completion.

If you're about to start a month-long project, ask yourself:

"What does the 2-week version look like?"

Shorter deadlines force you to focus on what matters.

If you're 47 or younger, you're a time billionaire.

Are you using that time wisely?

THREAD: How to get more value out of your time.
1/ I heard about the time billionaire concept for the first time last week.

@APompliano announced that he would be returning all outside capital from Pomp Investments to his investors.

He cites the time billionaire concept as one of the main reasons why.
2/ Instead of making wealthy people even wealthier, he wants to:

• Spend more time with family.
• Continue educating the average citizen about personal finance, crypto, etc.

How awesome is that?

It sent me down a rabbit hole of trying to understand the value of time better.

I was a non-believer.

Now I refer to the dots almost every day.

THREAD: How the Culture Index survey will 10x the productivity of your team at work 👇
1/ The Culture Index (CI) Program trains the world's most influential executives and managers to be more effective leaders.

Here's how it works: Image
2/ The CI survey consists of only two prompts.

For each, you are presented with 174 different adjectives to select.

Prompts:
(1) Check the words you believe describe yourself.

(2) Check the words that describe how you must behave to succeed in your current position.
