99% of users follow real-time news on Twitter.
That's okay. But you won't make Twitter an asset then.
To make it an asset, build a high-signal information diet.
You'll see it as a whole new opportunity.
Let me show you...
If you use it right, your Twitter account is worth more than your degree.
But 98.8% suck at it.
Here are 9 unique ways to turn Twitter into a crazy valuable asset:

That's okay. But you won't make Twitter an asset then.
To make it an asset, build a high-signal information diet.
You'll see it as a whole new opportunity.
Let me show you...
I find way too much news, drama and irrelevant ideas on the Twitter timeline.
I use Twitter lists to cut the noise and amplify the signal.
Bonus: Lists aren't affected by the algorithm.
Here's a video to get started on Lists:
Scrape the internet to find what you want:
"(from:aaditsh) min_faves:1000 marketing"
Tweets with "marketing" from @aaditsh with more than 1000 likes.
Another favorite:
"(from:aaditsh) until:2021-09-01 since:2021-05-01"
Between May and September.
Trust me. They're not worth your time.
Click on a profile that annoys you.
Click "more" → "mute profile".
You won't "block" them but their content will become hidden on your timeline.
It's so peaceful.
It's a 1 line identity on the internet.
Make it crisp.
Mine: "I deconstruct world-class growth philosophies & mental models"
People now expect related content.
They like to see when you meet expectations (and go beyond).
Use your newsletter to write more in-depth content.
That's what I do at mine.
I have seen 2x subscribers arriving at my newsletter.
Seriously - this is a game-changer.
Deconstruct complex topics into simple actionable tips for others.
This act (itself) will turn your followers into "superfans".
High-affinity audience = Valuable asset.
You've heard this a million times.
If not, I'll say it again: You can literally reach anyone via Twitter DMs.
Think Gary Vee, Tony Robbins, Tim Ferriss (omg, this is crazy).
Don't shy away. Grow your network:

Now, I do 10x the work in half the time in Twitter's most valuable feature.
Here's the ultimate framework for DMs:
I hate the "explore" section on Twitter. It's usually filled with news and garbage found in my location.
I use the "Minimal Twitter" chrome extension to remove Explore.
My entire Twitter experience has become 10x better.
1. Quote retweet the first tweet & let me know your thoughts.
2. Turn on notifications for @aaditsh — it's free!
I write a lot about how to leverage Twitter to impact more people positively.
1. Heavily curate who you follow.
2. Use Twitter Lists (video tutorial included).
3. Use advanced search to scavenge Twitter.
4. Mute trolls (simple as that).
5. How to polish your bio.
7. Turn followers into "super fans".
8. Network like you were born to.
9. Make your Twitter distraction-free.

More from Learning
Lifelong learning is a competitive advantage.
But contrary to what you’ve been told, lifelong learners are built, not born.
THREAD: 20 lifelong learning habits you can start developing today.
Stimulate Dynamically
The mind is a muscle - it needs to be stimulated dynamically to continue to grow.
Don’t rely on one “exercise” - develop a menu of options.
Write, read, listen, watch. Solve puzzles, play games. Enjoy it!
Stimulate dynamically, learn dynamically.
Build Learning Circles
The most powerful learning is communal, not individual.
Build learning circles with other intellectually curious minds.
Engage regularly with no set intention or goal.
Community is everything. Embrace it.
Keep Asking Why
“Why?” is the most useful tool in our learning toolkit.
But somewhere along the line, we are told to stop asking why and just accept “facts” as we are told them.
Reject the norm.
If you want to understand the world, take a cue from our kids - keep asking why!
Adopt a Process Orientation
Prioritize process.
Learn for the sake of learning, not always for a specific goal.
When you prioritize process, you become flexible in where you are headed.
Life is a winding, confusing journey - forward progress is all that matters.
