& #39;How I& #39;ve turned my toxic Twitter timeline into a free learning resource& #39;

Back in February, I discovered a Twitter thread by @GoodMarketingHQ summarising the rise of American rapper Lil Nas X.
As someone who works in music marketing, the thread was one of the best explanations of strategy that I had ever read.

Before February, my use of Twitter was to follow live sport updates.
I realised Twitterâs algorithm was forcing other supportersâ thoughts and conversations on me, thinking this is the content I want to see.
It was time for a change.

After two hours of ruthless unfollowing, I went from following over 3,000 accounts to only following 500.
Step 2/ I started to follow marketers
I wanted to follow like-minded people to network with and share my experiences in social with.

My next step was to see who @GoodMarketingHQ followed. That didn& #39;t quite work as @harrydry only follows himself and Kanye West...
My next approach was to simply search âMarketing Strategyâ into Twitterâs search bar.

The first profiles I followed were:
⢠@profgalloway
⢠@mkobach
⢠@JuiceboxCA
⢠@AmandaMGoetz
⢠@taylrn
⢠@SteveBartlettSC
I didn& #39;t want this to be another must-follow list but between them, they have offered so much incredible value to me over the last 6 months

From one Twitter thread and a change of mindset, I had opened up a whole new learning resource.
Perhaps the two who have offered me more than anyone on Twitter is @david_perell and @jackbutcher with @visualizevalue.

I& #39;m not alone in saying this I don& #39;t think. This video on YouTube where @david_perell challenges @jackbutcher& #39;s process is a really amazing watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wzkvTaskXk&t=1s">https://www.youtube.com/watch...

What I learned about Twitter:
⢠Twitter rewards thoughts and ideas
⢠Find your niche and stick to it
⢠Create conversation by engaging with users regularly
⢠Reposting tweets and adding your opinion adds value

What I learned about myself
⢠Working in social media every day has created âburn outâ on how I consume content
⢠Iâve never made any attempt at growing my own following thanks to an unhealthy relationship with social media
⢠I donât write enough
