My worst mistake:
Growing an audience of 2000 followers
Here’s something 99% of gurus won't tell you
Every 𝕏 creator should read this
First I want you to forget everything you’ve been told
About personal branding.
Now let’s go back to the beginning…
You’re new to the Money Twitter platform
You don’t know how anything works.
These are your thoughts 24/7:
‘Wtf am I doing?’
‘How do I write tweets?’
‘What do I write about?’
You’re very overwhelmed at first.
But then…
Slowly you start to understand how the platform works
After 1 week on X:
You learn that engaging with others will get you more followers
After 2 weeks on X:
You learn that having an optimized profile will attract more followers and leads
After 1 month on X:
You start to get the full picture
You apply what everyone tells you to do.
That includes:
•Commenting a 1 000 000 times
•Optimizing your profile for the 8th time
•Posting about how you’re growing on X
The results?
More followers. Higher engagement. Lots of impressions.
You think you’ve made it.
Everyone congratulates you on building your ‘personal brand’
But then something happens...
When it’s time to monetize you realize:
•you have no skills to offer
•you don’t even know how to create an offer
•you know nothing about sales, lead gen, client acquisition
Why does this happen?
Let me tell you why
It’s because you were given this false image of personal branding:
Everyone told you to focus on:
•Engaging
•Commenting
•Optimizing your profile
But no one told you to first learn:
•A high income skill
•Copywriting
•Client Acquisition
•Sales
This is what personal branding actually is:
It’s misleading when creators only talk about engagement all day
It traps people into thinking : building an audience = money
I fell into the same trap
It was terrible.
Wasted 6 months building an audience
But knew nothing about building a business
Saw others make money while I remained broke.
Took multiple breaks from 𝕏
Until one day I realized that it was time to:
•admit that I knew nothing
•learn real business skills
I suffered the consequences of listening to most gurus on X
But I don’t want you to
That’s why I’m teaching you these lessons:
1. Invest in your skills first
2. Focus on building your business before your audience.
3. Spent roughly around 2 hours on X. Not the whole day.
4. Have some kind of game plan or else you’ll struggle to monetize
5. Stack on your skills. If you’re into copywriting learn about email
marketing or funnels.
Those who learn the above will win.
And I want you to win.
If there’s one thing I want you to remember
from this post then it’s this:
Audience Business = Personal Brand
If you’re going to choose one then make sure it’s ‘business’
Building an audience only won’t pay your bills
