In 3 months I've gained:

• 5000+ followers
• Total location freedom
• A 4-figure coaching business

Here's how I'd do it in half the time:

1. Focus on time management

My father got fired in 2008.

In a single month, he built a fully functional communication agency.

No prior experience.

How?

• Creating tight deadlines
• Wasting no time in his routine
• Planning to-do's every Sunday

He understood this: 👇
2. Start selling right away

Yeah, selling can be uncomfortable.

But there's something worse..

Selling too late.

Do this right away:

• Interview ~15 people
• Find out their obstacles
• Figure out how to solve it
• Coach 3-5 people for free
• Use testimonials to monetize
3. Go all-in on networking

"Your network is your net worth."

A bit cliché -- but it's true:

• Befriend a large account
• Get a lucky RT on a thread
• Exposure to 10.000s of people

Imagine you put your offer in there.

That's $1000s of free marketing.

All word of mouth.
4. Diversify your threads

Up to this point -- I've pretty much only posted in-depth tutorial threads.

Like this one.

They build authority, but lack reach.

This content plan solves that: 👇

• Tuesdays: Personal stories
• Thursdays: Resource lists
• Saturdays: Big how-to's
5: Invest more in newsletters

Newsletters are underrated as fuck.

They're great at building deeper relations with your audience.

This is how you get more sign-ups:

• Use a landing page w/ testimonials
• Offer a freebie for signing up
• Tease it a day before sending
6: Repurpose high-performing ideas

Twitter is great because it gives you access to instant feedback.

But you have to actually use it:

• Make a Notion idea bank
• Sort them using engagement %
• Repurpose high-performing ideas

Remove the guesswork: 👇
This all comes down to two things:

1) Maximising your reach
2) Marketing your offer

And in reality, this can be quite tough.

But by following all the guidelines I shared with you in this thread..

I'm sure you'll do a pretty good job 😌

You've got this!
TLDR:

1. Focus on time management
2. Start selling right away
3. Go all-in on networking
4. Diversify your threads
5. Invest more in newsletters
6. Repurpose high-performing ideas

“We don’t negotiate salaries” is a negotiation tactic.

Always. No, your company is not an exception.

A tactic I don’t appreciate at all because of how unfairly it penalizes low-leverage, junior employees, and those loyal enough not to question it, but that’s negotiation for you after all. Weaponized information asymmetry.

Listen to Aditya


And by the way, you should never be worried that an offer would be withdrawn if you politely negotiate.

I have seen this happen *extremely* rarely, mostly to women, and anyway is a giant red flag. It suggests you probably didn’t want to work there.

You wish there was no negotiating so it would all be more fair? I feel you, but it’s not happening.

Instead, negotiate hard, use your privilege, and then go and share numbers with your underrepresented and underpaid colleagues. […]
I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹

I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):


The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹


Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹


References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
