It's taken me 3 years to get to 217,000 followers and $30,000 a month.
Here's what I'd do if I started again from scratch.
(Steal this and it's very easy to get the same results).
Here's what I'd do if I started again from scratch.
(Steal this and it's very easy to get the same results).
1. Think of the end goal first.
The single best way to use Twitter is by creating a personal brand.
A place where you can be yourself, share your knowledge, teach your information and sell what you know and do.
A personal brand is perfect if you want to teach or earn money.

2. Make your profile pop.
Most people just throw a random profile picture on, forget about their bio and go spam comments on people's posts.
If your profile doesn't show people why they should follow you, they won't follow you.

Being anon is fine, but I'd recommend a picture of you as your profile picture.
Just as I've seen some people are less likely to trust an anime character over a real face.
Banner doesn't matter too much.
Just match it with your aesthetic and make sure you say what you do.

Bio is a big one.
I'm a ghostwriter so my bio says 'Helping busy entrepreneurs build their brand'.
That way, if you're a busy entrepreneur, you'll see what I do and become interested in my stuff.
You need to convey to your target market what you do and how you can help them.

I'd also advise putting a link to a landing page or VSL which showcases your offer (more on this later).
As well as a link to a website or a newsletter sign-up page in the links section.
So now you have a solid picture, banner and bio ready to collect leads and followers.

3. Follow the correct people.
When I first started, I hit follow on so many people.
Yes, they posted cool stuff, but we ideally want to only follow people who we can learn from, who inspire us and who we can do business with.
Otherwise, your TL will be cluttered with junk.

4. Engage like your life depends on it.
Now hold your horses.
Yes, engagement is the key to solid growth.
It's what I dedicated most of my foundational growth to.
But most people engage completely wrong and end up screwing their brand and their connections.
Let me show you.

Let me show you.
Most of the time in my comment section and other people's comment sections, you'll see 90% of people replying to the tweet with utter garbage.
Either robotic platitude replies basically rewording the original tweet or just writing replies for the sake of replying.
Either robotic platitude replies basically rewording the original tweet or just writing replies for the sake of replying.
This hurts your brand identity and your connection with the original tweeter.
No personality. Pure bot behaviour.
The one simple tip that I use is to make sure my comments are received well whilst also giving value and forming connections with people.
I be myself.

This in itself is the single best way to leave comments.
This is why:
1. It shows my personality which is why I want people to follow me
2. It sparks a connection with the original tweeter
3. It shows that I'm not afraid to post my opinion
4. It allows for some humour

You're building a personal brand, so why are you trying to write and sound like everyone else?
Leave your own opinions. Talk about your experiences. Say some funny stuff.
I started leaving funny comments on @WrongsToWrite stuff
And now he's one of my closest Twitter friends.

@WrongsToWrite The best part about engaging is because so many people are caught up trying to leave 'valuable' replies, you can swoop in and leave your genuine replies so the spotlight hits you.
You're engaging to form connections and show your personality, not to get 10 likes.

@WrongsToWrite 5. Write as many DMs as you can.
Twitter is all about connections.
Yes, followers are cool, but connections are ultimately what will make you the most money and give you the best results.
I've made thousands of friends and formed thousands of relationships just because of DMs.

@WrongsToWrite And by making connections, I mean writing DMs to people whose content you enjoy, or people you think you could help, or who could help you.
Just genuine messages you want to send to people in order to form some sort of relationship.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice used to message me every time I'd get an extra 100 followers.
Because of that, we're now great friends, have done a ton of biz together and will eventually meet IRL.
So a gesture so simple as wishing someone the best birthed a ton of opportunities

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice "Hey bro, your content has been fire lately, just wanted to say how helpful it is".
"Yo, huge congrats on hitting 100k, my friend!"
"Happy birthday my G"
Send as many genuine DMs to people as possible and form as many connections and relationships as possible.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Something I tell my clients is to treat the DMs like Facebook friends.
You wouldn't hit your friends up on FB and say something like "Hello sir, your account is very good".
You'd use slang and talk like you know them. So do the same with the DMs.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice 6. Plan out your content strategy.
If you've just started, no one will see your tweets as you have 0 followers.
Even when you start to gain traction, not many people will see you as bigger accounts will take the spotlight.
That's why I suggest writing 2-3 tweets per day.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Enough to showcase what you do, but not a substantial amount to the point where you're wasting quality tweets.
The main focus when you start should be engagement and forming relationships.
Schedule your tweets in TweetHunter and then focus on engaging.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice In terms of what to tweet.
Get your niches or your topics and go for these:
- Teachings
- Findings
- Opinions
- Stories
- Guides
Stay away from politics. Trust me. You're here to make money, not divide and conquer.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Threads are one of the greatest ways to grow.
Not only do they allow you to pack all your teachings, opinions, and findings in one place.
But they're also great to help you make money.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice If you're a web designer and you write a thread helping people double their sales with a website, and then plug your web designing service at the end.
You're gonna have a ton of people in your DMs asking you to make them a website.

Write 1 thread a day for 30 days.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice 7. Start by selling your services.
Most people just jump straight into selling courses or starting newsletters.
Now while that's not a bad thing, I recommend starting backwards.
Sell your service first.
Then once you've got good results, teach people how to do it.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice The best way to go about selling your services is in the DMs.
Your Twitter account is a funnel.
Your content funnels people into your DMs or VSLs.
Your DMs and VSLs funnel people into calls with you.
Then you close them over zoom calls.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Let's say you sell web design services.
The best way to find your target audience is to go through the people who showed interest in your niched-down content.
Web design threads, tweets etc.
Then, if they're a good fit for your service, you hit them with a DM.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice "Hey G, thanks for the engagement on my thread. Tell me, how come you haven't got a website yet?"
or
"Hey G, thanks for the engagement on my thread. Noticed some things on your site that could make you a lot more money if they were improved."
The goal is to get them on a call.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Then once you're on a call, you pitch them your services and close.
The process of selling your service looks like this.
Target audience -> Reach with cold DM or they apply from VSL page -> Get them on zoom call -> Pitch your services -> Close

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Now if you don't have that many people interacting or even seeing your tweets to know who to DM.
You're going to go to someone I call a 'golden client'.
Basically, a client who would be the perfect person to work with and help.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Go to their following list and then make a list of all the people there who you can help and who look like they need your help.
Don't message them straight away.
Just hit follow.
Don't message them straight away.
Just hit follow.
@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice You're going to spend the next few days engaging with their stuff.
You're doing this to make them aware of you.
I've had so many random people in my DMs trying to sell me things when I've never even heard of them.
I'll never buy that way.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice However, if I know of you and know that you've interacted with me on the timeline before, I'm more likely to do biz with you.
After you've interacted with them for a few days, now you can send a cold DM.
Don't be a bot and just straight up offer your services.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice "Hey x, been digging your tweets for a while now. Especially that tweet about x today."
Simple.
You don't want to immediately pitch.
You want to have a casual convo first.
Let them qualify themselves with some questions.
"How's this been going?"
"How's that working?"

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice Then you can hit them with the "I've helped some clients with x problem in the past and gotten them some sick results, would be dope to help you too. You got a spare 30 minutes this week to chat?"
Don't copy that exact message, but say something along the lines of it.

@BenWByrne taught me most of this.
Total chad.
BTW make sure you're following up with people who ghost you.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne Make sure you do an outstanding job for all of your clients so you can 1. Make them more money 2. Get good testimonials and referrals.
Once you do enough work for people, you'll find that you won't need to cold outreach as much because you'll have a ton of inbound leads.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne If you're struggling to get your first client.
Do everything I just said above, but don't charge.
Do that enough and get solid testimonials and then begin charging.
Most people won't pull the trigger as you're new and you have zero trust/credibility.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne Make sure you tweet about your client results.
That way, more people know what you do and are more likely to ask for your services.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne 8. Make your VSL page
A VSL page is pretty much a sales page with a video of you going over client results or going over what you can offer to people.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne Something like a 5-min video of you describing who your target audience is, what you can do for them along with any client testimonials/results from the past.
You can make a quick VSL page in carrd .co
Make sure you add a button in which people can book a call with you.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne Whack a link to it in your bio and that's another easy way to get qualified inbound leads without having to do any outreach.
@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne 9. Now you can sell courses, start a newsletter and do coaching programs.
After you've already proved to everyone that you're goated at whatever service it is you do.
You've gained the trust of people to buy knowledge from you.
I'd recommend courses teaching your skills.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne I'd also recommend starting a newsletter and a discord/telegram group where you post exclusive tips.
You can eventually (if you want) do 1 on 1 coaching sessions or group cohorts where you, again, teach what you know.

@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne And that my friends, is exactly what I'd do if I had to start again from scratch to grow my account with genuine followers and connections and make a ton of money every month.
@WrongsToWrite @heyjoeyjustice @BenWByrne I hope you enjoyed that thread, took a lil while to write, hence the late posting time.
A like, RT and a follow would be legendary if you did enjoy.

If you want:
- A brand worth 6 figures
