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.

9 steps to designing a life of intention:

(and why most people fail)

🧵
First, what does it mean to design an intentional life?

Here’s what I’ve landed on:

- Doing what I want, when I want, and with whom I want
- Doing very little of what I don’t like & more of what I do
- Being free of traditional full-time employment
- Having limited obligations
Your first reaction might be this sounds childlike or fantastical.

I’ve made peace with the potential judgment.

I believe it’s a more natural way to live than the assembly-line, 8-hour workday life we’ve inherited from the 1860s.

Let's start with 3 buckets ↓

James Clear said:

"You do not rise to the level of your goals, you fall to the level of your systems."

But most people don't build great systems into their work.

Here are 6 critical systems for creators:

(and how I built them)

🧵 Image
1/ Knowledge Management System

Everything you know or need to reference should be stored in one place.

I use @NotionHQ as my personal knowledge management system:

- Business plan
- Weekly to-do
- Course roadmap
- Business workflow
- Process documents

All in one place. Image
@NotionHQ 2/ Time Blocking System

GCal + Calendly makes sure I never book something in the wrong spot.

- Mornings: Workout & Engagement on social
- Early afternoon: Creativity and writing
- Late afternoon: coaching & meetings

I set up custom availability for everything. Image

How I made $1M+ selling online courses.

(with zero complicated funnels)

🧵
1/ Deliver daily value in a niche

I've spent 3 years on social media talking about audience & business growth.

All of my best lessons already exist as content. They are literally all free.

The good news is people will pay for aggregation.

So give freely.
2/ Ask 10%-20% of the time

As you continue giving away valuable information, you earn the right to make an "ask".

Once per week, I ask my audience to buy something.

I make about 15x the revenue each "ask day".

You can see this playing out in my sales below.

Hiring a virtual assistant is life-changing.

My VA saves me ~40 hours of time per month.

Here's exactly how we work together in 6 simple steps.

🧵
1/ Audit what distracts you the most

I pay close attention to my schedule to understand when I am most distracted, by what, and how often.

I keep a running tally each week to make sure I'm identifying any new distractions that have crept up.

Awareness is your first step.
2/ Record Process videos

Your VA won't always have the background to understand what they’re solving & why.

So, record a video where you walk through every single step.

Share these with a few people who have no context & see if they can complete the tasks you teach on video.

18 months ago, I started my first email newsletter.

I failed miserably and quit.

Then 90 days ago, I tried again and have grown it to 21,163 subscribers.

Here are 5 simple things I did differently:

🧵
1/ Focused audience

I chose to focus on one specific avatar: solopreneurs

Generally, solopreneurs are growing their businesses online via content marketing and social media.

So, this makes it easy for me to deliver tactical lessons that I know will resonate.
2/ Kept it consistent

I deliver the email every Saturday morning at 8a CST.

I haven't missed in 12 weeks.

People now tell me they look forward to receiving it.

And open rates have stayed consistently between 64% and 67%.

A captive Saturday morning audience.
