Pick a topic and stick with it!
You can expand your topic when you grow, but you need to pick a topic to get traction.
Look for the topic that energises you the most.

Templatize other successful creators. There is no need to reinvent the wheel with every piece of content.
Remember: Nothing. Is. Original.

Ignore your timeline at the start. Focus on adding to valuable conversations in other peoples’ timelines first.
PS: Other people = The creator who has the audience you desire.

Your content are small fractions of who you are.
While building, whatever you put out there is going to shape and affect the way people perceive you. So be intentional.

Start Writing threads from the start.
You do NOT get better by reading them.
You get better by putting pen on paper.

Focus on creating Superfans instead of purely gaining followers.
Superfans will:
- share your content like crazy
- bring gigs/opportunities your way
- recommend you in their conversations
Create them by helping them out 1-on-1 as much as you can!

Be authentic.
Speak from experience.
Stop trying to sell something.
All platforms are flooded with this.
Slow & steady. Have fun learning and sharing.

Focus on connections more than gaining followers. Focus on giving more to others, it'll come back to you when it's time.
Engage with your followers and other creators to get engagement.

Write your 'Why' on a Google Keep note and set a recurring reminder for it to resurface to keep you on track.
Many obstacles and shiny objects will distract you on this journey.

Be patient. Find your voice by posting and interacting often.
Don’t make perfectionism your friend.
Do what you do and do it often. Let the data tell you where to go.

I built a 100,000+ committed audience size - on Instagram - with this one tip:
*Putting them on the driver's seat*
Genuinely care about what they want to consume, and acknowledge them.

If you notice someone always being supportive of your posts
- Engaging
- RT-ing the tweets
- attending your spaces, etc
...go and thank them. Appreciate the efforts they're putting in.

Go at your own pace. Don't compare your growth with someone else.
And if they make you jealous, suck it up, follow them and let it motivate you.
