5,000 Twitter friends with a Notepad in 80 days đź“’

This will help you start building, even with a 9-5.

1) The Invisible Work

There is always hidden work.

Work that no one sees; whether it’s years of:

- Scrolling social media in silence
- Experience in your 9-5
- Reading/writing every day
- Expertise in a field

Use your experience to start building. https://twitter.com/SalesNotepad/status/1286253529259225088?s=20
2) Long-term Strategy

A plan without a vision is not a plan.

Think 12-months down the line, and reverse engineer.

- What do you want to achieve?
- How will you get there?

Break down your goals and monitor.

3) Brand

You need to feel connected with your brand:

- Your experiences
- Your emotion

Connect with your brand, and your readers will too.

Branding is emotion, so bring it to life.

Your readers will feel like they know you personally. https://twitter.com/SalesNotepad/status/1293213563419611137?s=20
4) Life is a roller coaster

Some days you will feel...

Just saying “F*** this, I am done”.

You need to realise the bad days to not quit.

On bad days:

- Take a break
- Build up self-motivation

Check out the roller coaster impressions below.

Bad days are part of life.
5) It gets easier as you go

You always need to put effort.

But starting is the hard part...

- July (16 days): 2,048 Tweets
- August: 3,140 Tweets
- September: 1,053 Tweets

There are no secrets, no short cuts.

Start and show up every day.

Figure things out on the go.
6) Statistics/Analytics

You always need to be analysing.

Analyse every movement you and others do.

Build an analytical mindset, it will take you far.

Understand consumers and their behaviours.

For some reason, bullet points on Twitter do well:
7) Manage your time efficiently

24 hours in a day...

- 6-8am (side project)
- 9am-12pm (9-5 work)
- 12-1pm (side project)
- 1-6pm (9-5 work)
- After 6pm (side project)

Put together a schedule that works for you.

You will need to work two jobs: https://twitter.com/SalesNotepad/status/1304402759337365505?s=20
It is all about the mindset.
