10 powerful Twitter hacks every user should know:
1/ Most popular Tweets

Ever wanted to find someone's most popular Tweets of all-time?

Or maybe their most popular recent Tweets?

Install @Twemex App and instantly find them all.
@twemex 2/ Most active times

It's best to Tweet when your followers are online.

Do you know when they are most active?

Twitter doesn't tell you, but @Followerwonk does

Get more engagement with better timing.
@twemex @followerwonk 3/ Auto-retweeting for growth

The shelf-life of a Tweet is about 24 hours.

One great way to get more engagement is to Retweet yourself.

I RT myself 9 hours later using @hypefury

The best part? They UN-Retweet 24 hours later.

That keeps your profile nice and clean.
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury 4/ Auto-plugging for subscribers

@Hypefury will also auto-plug your newsletter.

- Select the number of likes/engagements.
- Create your custom message to add-on

Voila.

If your post reaches the threshold, it will auto-plug your newsletter.

Great for products/services too!
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury 5/ Hyper-fast engagement

Engaging with top accounts is crucial.

I use @blackmagic_so to create my list of important accounts.

It shows me how many Tweets I've missed from them.

Then, 2x per day, I engage at hyper-speed to keep growing.

You can do it right from the sidebar!
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury @blackmagic_so 6/ Personal Twitter CRM

Struggle to remember everyone's kid's names?

Or maybe how you met? Or if someone introduced you?

@blackmagic_so also has built-in CRM functionality.

Never forget another important detail.
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury @blackmagic_so 7/ Bookmark folders

Want to save and organize your favorite Tweets?

With @TwitterBlue you can build out an entire file cabinet of bookmarks.

Just sign up, build out your folders, and get saving.
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury @blackmagic_so @TwitterBlue 8/ Creating powerful lists

Lists are a powerful way to organize a relevant Twitter ecosystem.

Just create your lists and add your people.

Once you do, you can visit lists to see all relevant Tweets from that group.

Great for groups, local meetups, and any other organization.
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury @blackmagic_so @TwitterBlue 9/ Mute conversations

Ever get mentioned in a tweet & you start getting hundreds of notifications?

It clogs up your whole notification feed.

Expand the details of the tweet and click the 3 dots on the top right-hand corner.

Then, click "mute this conversation."
@twemex @followerwonk @hypefury @blackmagic_so @TwitterBlue 10/ Hide Twitter Trends

Twitter trends are usually negative.

And they can be distracting and detrimental to your mental health.

Unless you install "Hide Twitter Trends".

This plugin will let you focus and regain your sanity by hiding the trends section.

Highly recommend.

Here are some other key lessons I learned in 2024:
1. Simplify everything

The more complex I made my business, the worse it performed.

When I zoomed out and simplified overly complex things, everything worked better.

How to make your first $1 online:
1. Talk to people

You can't make a dollar without understanding people's problems.

Go talk to your prospective customers.

3-5 conversations per day about their biggest and most frustrating challenges.
2. Grow a small audience

Once you've talked to people, next up is sharing info they care about.

Post daily about the problems you heard and how you think they can solve them

Show them you care about solving the problems you learned about!

I've made $3.7M from email marketing without spending a dime on ads.

Most "email experts" overcomplicate it.

I keep it simple.

Here's my exact playbook:

The raw numbers first:

- 200K subscribers
- 55% open rate (avg: 21.5%)
- $3.7M in revenue
- 89% profit margin
- $0 spent on ads

No luck or magic required.
Just systems that work.
People think a bigger list = more money.

They obsess over:

- Fancy automation flows
- Complex sequences
- List size

Meanwhile, you can make a lot of money by solving *real* problems for real people.
