How hard is it to be original on Twitter?
On first reading, this question sounds almost rhetorical
“Not hard at all, duh”
But it’s not
So let’s dig a little deeper...

Let’s start off with an obvious one:
How easy is it to not copy peoples work word for word?
EXTREMELY EASY
If you do this, you’re a moron
You literally have a retweet button to share other people’s thoughts/expand on them

Twitter is writing
Taking thoughts and putting them into words for the benefit of both others and yourself
Now let’s make something clear:
THESE THOUGHTS DON’T HAVE TO BE 100% YOUR OWN
In fact it’s almost impossible that they will be

There are SIX THOUSAND Tweets sent out PER SECOND

Good luck trying to be ‘completely’ original

No?
Almost every thought you have
Every opinion
Every question
Every idea
Has been thought/said by somebody else
Don’t worry about trying to be 100% original
But at the same time, don’t become an exact clone of somebody else’s persona/copy their words exactly

If you’re here on money/fitness/self improvement Twitter - you’re here to LEARN
Most of us here want to improve ourselves physically, mentally, financially, spiritually
Therefore it’s inevitable that the same ideas will come up time and time again

Therefore it’s inevitable that the same ideas will come up time and time again
The accounts you look up to? Their thoughts came from someone else, and so did the thoughts of those people
This is how we learn
Knowledge is passed from person to person
Luckily for us we live in the internet era where so much knowledge is available in your pocket

Luckily for us we live in the internet era where so much knowledge is available in your pocket
Now with so much knowledge so easily available for the first time
And in a corner which is focused on self improvement
It is absolutely inevitable that ideas will echo
The important thing ultimately is to BE YOURSELF

You don’t have to niche down and be hyper specific just for the sake of being ‘original’
BUT BE YOURSELF
If you’re interested in fitness, mindset etc
Speak about them
But don’t JUST talk about topics because you think they’re what will work

Some people have a way with words
Two people can often express the same idea but one will make it sound more intellectual
The other interpretation can come off almost as a platitude due to the simplicity in phrasing
There’s nothing wrong with this

If you’re offering value, great, just don’t become a platitude generator who’s here solely to grow and monetise anything they can
You’re here to learn, to grow
And this is largely in terms of your writing
Whatever your niche, writing is a huge part of twitter

You should feel PROUD and EXCITED to be expressing your thoughts
No, they most likely won’t be 100% original but no ones are
The pride is in learning
In expressing things for other people to then learn from you
And to REINFORCE these ideas in your own mind

This thread was (obviously) inspired by the whole debacle with @oliviercantin and ‘he who must not be named’
I hope some of you find value in this
Summary:
1. DON’T COPY WORD FOR WORD
2. Relax, no idea is 100% original
3. Take pride in your writing
