Why am I talking about it? Because Twitter is our Top-2 traffic source for www.makerbox.club, requiring a $0 budget. Consistency and personal brand pay off. Here're the learnings: 1. Niche down 2. Treat your Twitter profile like a product 3. Create a content matrix 4. Mix professional and personal 5. Don't spam with your product 6. Focus on your experience, not on the theory 7. Don't be a copycat 8. Connect with people 9. Be kind 10. Experiment a lot What would you add?

thanks for sharing @basv - this is great. It's easy to fall into the headspace of 'too much noise, better things I can spend my time on', but those results are encouraging. How much time do you think you spent each week over those 7 months to get the results? Curious on even the basic analytics if you're willing to share (#tweets/day, etc)!

thanks for sharing. I want to echo the 10 learnings a little bit: ✅Step 1: Positioning – Identify your goal and strength, and Analyze your audience and competitors to pick a niche ✅Step 2: Content Production – Gather content inspirations through trend analysis, define the content strategy, and leverage tools to make content in various forms ✅Step 3: Publishing – Pick the very right platform, tailor your presence, and come up with a consistent and regular plan ✅Step 4: Keep highly engaged with your audience – respond to their messages and ask their interested topics ✅Step 5: Operation & Optimization – utilize data analysis to optimize operations, featuring other creators, and build inter-platform strategy ✅Step 6: Monetization – cooperate with brands, and sell digital products A bit of a self-promotion 🙈: we will launch a detailed guide and toolkit on content creation and promotion soon. We summarize the methods and takeaways after interviewing around 100 creators/influencers. Hope it can help.
