You are seriously missing out! 🤨 No posting schedule? No idea routine? No engagement habit? Then you are probably not optimizing your growth on X. Create systems.

I just started a new 9 - 5. It’s nothing wrong with following your own ways. If it’s what you want. You can work for others and still be successful. I will continue to build on the side though! So I can quit when I want some day.

Most quit because of this: Not getting over the initial hype. When the growth stagnates, when summer hits, and when life happens. Motivation won’t last forever. Stay consistent and you will beat 99%

You are missing out! 😨 X is full of amazing people. People that are genuine, friendly, and engage with you. Here’s a few that I’ve had the pleasure to befriend recently: @mrliamrobins @Amy__Bradley @Kapischh @MailMartian @gigachedoj @CheezzyPizzZa @vaynemyko @BloomhillTyler

Most people won’t make it. It’s too hard. They will never reach their goals. Will you? Many get too comfortable, too many liabilities, and give up. Do you really have what it takes? Maybe. But you need a solid WHY. And remind yourself every day. What’s your why?

1500 Followers! ✅ This is just crazy. I'm so grateful for all my followers, and I truly appreciate all of you. Thank you! But I'm also a little sad. I went from 0 - 1000 in 2 months. Then 1000 to 1500 in another 2 months. So, I've clearly been doing something wrong lately. And I have a few ideas: - Engaging less. - Less niche-related content. - Fewer actionable tweets. - Too little time and effort spent on X. But that's just business. You learn by trial and error. And now I see that I have to double down on what I did in the beginning: - Engage more. - Keep making new friends. - Focus on niche-related topics. Let's see how it goes! And once again, thank you to every single one of you! You are the ones that made my journey.

Out of ideas? Dig deeper. How have you suffered in the past? Your struggles, losses and failures. What have you accomplished? How did you do it, what did you learn, and how can others do it.

When I had 0 followers, I looked up to those with 100. When I had 100 followers, I looked up to those with 1,000. Now I look up to those with 10,000. Always look at those one step ahead of you. Learn from them. Analyze their strategy. And follow along.

My goal is to reach 2,000 followers in 30 days! ✅ How? - Engage as always. - Connect with new accounts. - Launch a give-away. - Tweet 3 - 5 times a day. Does this surprise you? It shouldn't, cause it's the same as always. Effort, value, consistency! Wish me luck! 🙏

I used to comment and reply 100+ times a day. That's effort. And I don't mean spam. It's quality comments. And the results? 0 - 500 in 35 days. 0 - 1000 in 2 months. X is like a business. The more you put in, the more you get out.

I made a huge mistake when I started on Twitter. I engaged with the wrong accounts. Every big "guru" will tell you to engage with big accounts. But that's just wrong! You don't wait for people to find you, you find them! Engage with small accounts. Make connections.

Absolutely everything I would do to grow a small account: 1. Write 5-10 tweets. 2. Then 1-2 per day. 3. Write a clear, concise, and interesting bio. 4. Choose a slick profile picture and banner. 5. Find small accounts < 200. 6. Engage with them. 7. Comment, like, and follow the accounts I like. 8. Find bigger accounts in my niche, >800. 9. Leave good comments on some of their tweets. 10. Then, target their followers. 11. Reach out to them. 12. Leave a valuable comment on their tweets. 13. Once you start making friends, make sure to keep them. 14. Always reply to comments and DM's. 15. Engage with the same people over and over. 16. Make an engagement group with my best friends. 17. Start tweeting more, 2-5 per day. 18. Write a few threads per week. 19. Share your journey. 20. Celebrate your victories and be grateful. 21. Follow @DrivenByMindset to learn how to grow on X. What did I miss?

What is the easiest way to get tweet ideas? Simple. Think about your own experiences. What have you done in the past? What thoughts have you made? What did you learn from x? If you don't get anything, you either must do some cool stuff or think harder.

I don’t: - Meditate. - Take ice baths. - Journal. I do: - Scroll while on the toilet. - Eat sugar. - Read news. Yet I get more work done than 99% of people. Focus on what really matters. Getting the work done. Don’t get caught up in all the gimmicks.

I went from 0 to 1000 followers in 2 months. You can do the same. I had close to no experience with Twitter before I started. But I've found a winning formula. I could charge a few $ for this information, but this time it's free. Here are the 7 things I did:

I once grew an Instagram account to 6000+ followers in a few months. But I hated it. You don’t get the same connections as you do on Twitter. There are many similarities. But the people on Twitter are just more committed. 1000 Twitter followers > 6000 Instagram followers.

I’m so tired of seeing all the AI posts in my feed. But, the sector is truly booming. What other sectors are booming under the radar at the moment?

I’m losing followers. Every single day. It just hurts differently. Some days it goes up, some days it goes down. It’s just how it works. Especially when I’m not up to par with my content. But I don’t let it demotivate me. I’ll get new amazing ones eventually. Stay at it.
