I grew from 400 - 1201 followers in 92 days

My goal is 10,000 by December and hit a $10K month before 2023

This is the roadmap I'm following to get there (feel free to steal):
1. Get clear on my WHY

Anytime I set goals without a clear reason, I lose sight of it and it all goes down the rails

Now, that’s going to change.

My WHY:
• build social leverage
• get inbound clients needing my services
• document my journey to help others start theirs
2. Have a consistent posting schedule

Currently, I use @hypefury to schedule my content and it’s going great.

My plan is to prepare at least 3 days’ worth of content in advance

My content strategy:

3 Tweets daily
3 Threads a week
1 Space a week
@hypefury Get clear on my content pillars

I recently changed my niche, so it got pretty confusing on what to create

But @bruno_nwogu thread gave me so much clarity

Here it is:
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu My obsessions (content pillars):

• BTS of my online business
• Self-improvement
• Design Tips
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu Break down

Tweets:
- Listicles
- Opinions
- Questions &
- Visuals

These formats work really well for me.
So, I'm gonna be doubling down on them.

Threads:
- 2 high-value threads &
- 1 curation thread around my niche

Shoutout to @johnisbuilding for the idea.
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding 3. Create an engagement schedule

I suck a lot with engagement

I’m currently trying out tools like @blackmagic_so & @hypefury to make engagement seamless for me.
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so My daily goal is 20 comments

10 comments with big creators (10k+)
10 comments with creators my size & below
One builds a stronger community and the other brings more people in.

H/T: @writing_cheats for this
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats 4. Be active in discord communities (1hr daily)

I’m currently in:

@thatroblennon
@Jayyanginspires
@hypefury

Now the goal is to be an active member by helping others and providing value

It’s going to pay off somehow
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires 5. Build connections in the DMs

I started #colddm30 and the results from it were impressive

Now my goal is 1 DM a day to:
• A big creator
• A creator my size
• A smaller creator

That way, I can invite speakers for future spaces and perhaps even collaborations.
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires 6. Weekly Zoom calls

So far, I’ve had calls with:

@sulaiman_botha
@raybornofficial
@_SyedHuq
@francis_oleh

And it made me realize I fuckin love calls

It’s always a win-win situation

H/T: @johnisbuilding for this
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh 7. Join an accountability group

Here we:

• Give corrections and tips to improve with hooks
• Engage with each other’s content
• Support and encourage each other

PS. It’s not certain yet, but I’m working towards it.
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh 8. Read books & watch YT videos

There was literally a time I didn't open YouTube for a week
Not bad right?

But I also wasn’t reading 💀

Now, the aim is to skill up and learn something new every day
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh 9. Do a design challenge

I’m currently participating in a challenge #DailyUI

I’ll be sharing my designs daily, with aim of improving and letting others know about my skill/service.
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh 10. Join Design communities

I’ve joined a few on discord and I’ll be participating in a hackathon in the coming weeks
August is going to be really amazing tbh 🤩🚀

I'll create a portfolio-worthy project and I'm considering joining a bootcamp
Let's see
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh All of these would bring me closer to my goal:

• A paid internship role
• A junior design role
• Multiple freelance gigs

Which can make me hit $5K months
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh 11. Have fun

No pressure FAM
I’m trying my best to enjoy the journey.

I also plan to reflect and journal more
To know if my actions align with my values & goals.
@hypefury @bruno_nwogu @JohnIsBuilding @blackmagic_so @writing_cheats @thatroblennon @Jayyanginspires @sulaiman_botha @raybornofficial @_SyedHuq @francis_oleh Gonna do all of this in August and we might actually hit 3k Billionaires.

Let’s see how it goes, I'll iterate and improve where necessary.
Probably unrelated:

Would you be interested to join 100+ Billionaires receiving weekly deep dives of the content I share here?

Awesome!

I studied the wealthiest individuals on the planet

Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos & Mark Zuckerberg

Only to find one thing they had in common:

Leverage

Good news! You have it too.
Here's how to find and use it to your advantage:
In simple terms, leverage is your unfair advantage.
Which is something you have that others don't have.

And I break it down into 4 major categories

1. Time leverage
2. Social leverage
3. Financial leverage
4. Knowledge leverage
1. Time Leverage

If you are under the age of 25, you are basically a Time Billionaire

Why do I think so?
- It's a human bias to support young people
- You have enough time to learn, fail and build experience
- You can use the compound effect to your advantage by investing

It's common to hear "you need a niche to grow"

But many creators don't know this one tip to clear any niche doubts

A NICHE OF ONE 🧵🧵
I first heard this from my bro @Jayyanginspires

And he explains it as sharing your journey and teach what you know.

With time you'd innovate and find your 'thing'
Adding to that!

I watched @joerogan podcast with @naval and I got a few takeaways about finding that niche of one.

As always, I'll use characters to explain my point.
