I want to quit...
“I want to quit”
This is something I’ve found myself saying on multiple occasions.
And it’s something I’ve heard many other people say.
But the sad thing is…
A lot of these people have followed through with it.
Even some of my closest friends on Twitter.
It’s sad, but it's understandable.
Twitter is TOUGH.
Tweeting into the void.
Hours upon hours of engaging.
Struggles choosing your niche.
Having to learn a ton of new skills.
Trying to craft, market, and sell an offer.
No clear direction on where you’re going.
This game is no joke.
For context…
In my first month on Twitter, I gained 74 followers.
By the end of my second month, I only had 200 followers.
It was at this point that self-doubt began consuming me.
What the hell was I doing?
I just couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But then something happened.
Everything just… clicked.
This is social media.
To succeed, you NEED to be social.
So I did it.
I started forming connections with people I found interesting.
Sliding into their DMs, jumping into calls, and engaging with their content.
This resulted in me forming close connections with 30+ people.
And even closer connections with a squad of 5 that I would genuinely call close friends of mine now.
We have a discord group where we shoot the shit, discuss ideas, and put our minds together every day to accelerate our growth.
And by accelerate, I mean…
1200+ followers, 2 clients, and 120+ newsletter subscribers in just 50 days.
Yeah - I think it’s fair to say that the only way to succeed on Twitter is by forming connections.
And this leads to an announcement that I teased in my last newsletter…
Anyone that follows me on Twitter may already know what I’m talking about.
But…
Myself, and three other creators are launching a personal branding cohort and private community called ‘Roasters Academy’.
Here are the creators I’m launching it with (I highly recommend checking them out, they’re all wizards at what they do)
@edge_of_obsess (Kai)
@lewisthecoach (Lewis)
@imcharliebullen (Charlie)
This cohort will provide you with EVERYTHING you need to know about building an authentic personal brand, including:
Profile optimization
Short-form content
Long-form content
Engagement/Networking
Offer creation
Marketing and sales
But the best part about all of this will be the community.
Our aim is to give people access to a fun, and fast-growing community where they can form meaningful connections to help accelerate their personal brand journey.
If you’re interested in hearing more about it, shoot me a DM on Twitter or register for the waitlist here 👇
That’s it for now, but expect more details throughout the week!
Talk soon.
