As I close in on 6k followers I thought it would be nice to write a nice thread on how I got here.

I& #39;ll add as I remember stuff.
Pick a specific niche, but don& #39;t get too narrow.

I& #39;d been dividend investing for a while and actually opened this account last year without much activity.

I could talk more broadly about investing, but that wasn& #39;t really interesting to me and too hard to market well.
Talk to people in DMs.

My take is that if you& #39;re not growing, you& #39;re not providing value.

I try my best to respond to DMs and tweets although it& #39;s getting hard to do so.

Trust is earned over time by building deep relationships with people. https://twitter.com/DivCultivator/status/1256584753307889664">https://twitter.com/DivCultiv...
Don& #39;t be a boring lecturer.

People don& #39;t come here to be told what to do.

They come to think and learn different perspectives.

Have a sense of humor. Entertaining and instructive is the cool sweet spot for me. https://twitter.com/DivCultivator/status/1263816202616520704">https://twitter.com/DivCultiv...
Add value to others& #39; tweets.

I& #39;ve been doing this less lately, but putting generic platitudes under others& #39; tweets isn& #39;t going to earn likes and RTs.

Specific examples and stories do earn RTs.

Also, help others with social validation. When you buy a course, tweet it.
Speaking of platitudes.

I skip them unless they& #39;re funny or original.

In fact I make fun of them sometimes. https://twitter.com/DivCultivator/status/1264876685817765888">https://twitter.com/DivCultiv...
Be kind.

This side of Twitter is fun.

The side where people bring people down to hide their insecurities is a horrible dark place.

Help people grow where you see people making the right type of effort.

This strategy pays dividends. https://twitter.com/DivCultivator/status/1256646177866514434">https://twitter.com/DivCultiv...
Speak authoritatively.

I am not the best dividend investor.

But I know my strategy well and can almost instantly tell if a stock is worth further research.

I don& #39;t dally around with crap, because ain& #39;t nobody got time for that.

A book or blog helps. http://gum.co/CSdwG ">https://gum.co/CSdwG&quo...
Don& #39;t affiliate market for a few bucks when the product doesn& #39;t fit what you believe.

I& #39;m 100% confident I could make $2k per week selling products I don& #39;t believe in.

However, that doesn& #39;t fit my ethos.

My bread and butter is long term investing so I stick with that.
