I turned 34 years old today.

The last year has been the single best year of my life

Here are 34 pieces of advice I wish I could tell myself earlier: 1. Skipping avocado toast doesn't make you rich. Skipping the bar on a Friday night to learn a new skill does

2. You’re going to be dead a whole lot longer than you’re going to be alive. Every second you spend at a 9-5 doing something you hate is a waste of time

The way your posts are ranked has changed dramatically

What worked 3 months ago no longer works

Your replies DO NOT make you any money

Spamming memes on Elon's posts is a TOTAL waste of time

In this post I'm going to completely debunk all the revenue-sharing myths plus go over the massive changes from yesterday 🧵 Bookmark the post above to keep this guide handy 👆

Myth 1: Reply impressions make you money: ❌ FALSE

People turn on alerts for Elon then spam memes for every post

COMPLETE waste of time

They are not only worth $0 but they make you look thirsty

Shadowbanning does exist

It's called "Freedom of Speech, Not Reach", and it's all over the algorithm code

If you feel like your engagement has dropped, you are probably impacted

Here's how it works and what you can do to avoid getting your reach destroyed: 🔶What is Freedom of Speech But Not Reach?

When you break one of the rules in the algo code, your account gets marked, and your reach destroyed

Currently, these rules are not stated anywhere except for the code

You could be impacted right now and not even know it

I wasted my entire 20s chasing one high to the next

This decade matters more than you can possibly imagine

Manage your time right, and the rest of your life can be a breeze

Here are 10 pieces of advice I'd give to my 20-year-old self: 🧵 1. Skipping avocado toast doesn't make you rich. Skipping the bar on a Friday night to learn a new skill does

Saving 3 bucks a few times a month won't make you rich

While others are out destroying their wallets and brains, build yourself

Still have fun, but be balanced

There are 400,000 lines of code in the X algorithm

I went through every single one

Here are the top 7 code-backed rules you need to follow on X:

(if you are struggling to get your content in front of people, this is a must read)
First off, bookmark the tweet above so you can refer to this next time you tweet

🔶Format your tweets properly

Media (videos/images) get MASSIVE boosts in the algo. Act accordingly

Helps:
• News URLs
• Trending language

Hurts:
• No text
• Hashtags
• Too many user tags

The greatest strategy for growth is replying

It’s in the code. The more you engage with someone the more you show up on their feed

But did you know X Pro makes it 10x easier to do?

Sad thing is you're not using it

Here's how to set up X Pro for the ultimate reply strategy: 🔶I'm not using X Pro. Is that bad?

Yes, you're screwing up big time. It makes using X 100x easier.

You access it on the left hand side under 'More'

I don't want to see you using regular X anymore. X Pro is the only way to be using this platform.

Elon announced last night that the X algorithm is going to change dramatically this week

Several months ago he asked me what changes I'd make

I went through every single line of code

Here's every change I'd like to see that will make X 100x better: 🔶 Post Ranking

Below is the code used to rank posts

There are a ton of variables that determine the rank, and none of them are known to the user

A major improvement would be adding this score to the UI, with an explanation of how the score was calculated

The way your posts are ranked has changed dramatically over the last year

What worked a year ago no longer works

I read through the 1000s of lines of algorithm code that is currently available

Here is every action you need to take today to rank higher:

Engagement feel down for you?

It’s because you keep breaking the rules of the algorithm

I went through all 13,000 lines of code

Here are 6 landmines in the algo that are destroying your reach, and what you can do to fix it
🔶 You're following too many people

Following too many people will destroy your reach

The algo calculates your follow to following ratio, and if it's off, your engagement will suffer

It stinks this is a part of the algorithm, following should be encouraged
