Prepare | The Journey Begins
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” - Seneca
There are two types of people on Twitter: Consumers and Creators. Consumers read
content, they retweet, and follow many accounts. They are there solely for the purpose of
being entertained. This is most of Twitter and that is a good thing. To be a successful
Creator, you need to have an audience. Appreciate them.
If you want to make the transformation from consumer to creator, you need to begin to
shift your mind. Creating is a rewarding experience but it is a completely different
mentality. This section will offer suggestions that will help you prepare for the journey.
Creating winning content on a consistent basis is not for the mentally weak. Why?
Weak people do not gain follows. People follow energy. If you want to dominate a
timeline, you must project energy. Nice guys are nice people, but finish last as creators.
If you want to be great at creating, you need to dedicate yourself to the pursuit of
mastery. This holds true for any art form, including Twitter. Reflect on this statement but
do not doubt yourself. I want you to start from the most advantageous position possible.

Prepare | The Journey Begins
Winning at Twitter takes action. It is hard work. Start streamlining your life. Dedicate
yourself to writing tweets at certain times of the day. I find that it is easy to do this
when I make it part of my routine. I wake up at 5 AM every day just to write tweets. All
I need is a cup of black coffee and the ideas come to me. You do not need to choose
the same time but just make writing part of the schedule. Make it a habit.
Who are the heavyweights that you look up to? Who do you want to grow into?
You need to have a vision. Begin to consume content that you want to become.
I am NOT telling you to copy them. Follow them for inspiration.
Michael Jackson found inspiration from James Brown. The Beatles were inspired by
the Beach Boys. Frederic Chopin was influenced by Franz Liszt. Every artist has a
mentor. View Twitter like an art form. You will need to find inspiration to be a
successful content creator.
I want you to make a list of at least a dozen accounts to follow. You can follow
whoever you want but I have one rule:
“Your mentors must have more followers than they are following.”
aestheticsareethics.com 4
Prepare | The Journey Begins
I want you to make a list of accounts following this ratio:
6 Large Accounts (10K and above)
4 Medium Accounts (2K to 10K)
2 Small Accounts (Under 2K)
2 Very Small Accounts (Under 1K)
This seems counterintuitive but you need to monitor accounts of all different sizes.
Why? Because accounts of different sizes produce different kinds of content.
Successful accounts that are under 1000 follows will write differently than the larger
accounts. Take note of what is occurring at all levels.
The six large accounts will be your mentor accounts. You will interact with them.
Comment, like, and engage with their tweets. It is critical to post GREAT comments
when you post to their tweets. Never post lazy comments. A great comment leads to
retweets and exposure. You can also use their timeline for A/B testing. Always review
comments for future content.

Prepare | The Journey Begins
Write it Down
If a tweet comes to you at 1 AM. Write it down. If you are out for a walk and find
inspiration, write it down. Make this a habit. The worst feeling is to think of a great
tweet and then not be able to recall it. Your mind can quickly move onto something
else.
This is the opposite of being in the flow. Force yourself to write. James Altucher tells
his audience to write down ten thoughts a day. I want you to do something similar. I
want you to write down ten tweets per day. You might only use three or four but that is
the point. Get comfortable with being creative.

Install Grammarly
This app is a lifehack. It is an AI bot that you can use as an extension in your browser.
I use it in Google Chrome. Grammarly is FREE and you can use it on any device. This
is my favorite app to correct grammar. Yes, I know others exist. This one is the best.
If English is not your first language, you need to make this a priority.
Let’s get something straight, if your goal is to dominate the timeline you need to put
aside your ego. There is no such thing as bad engagement. All engagement is good.
A comment or retweet is ALWAYS an endorsement. If you want your account to grow,
you want exposure. If this tactic is good enough for Kanye West and Elon Musk, it is
good enough for you.
If you want to dominate the timeline, you must speak with a strong voice. Nice guys
finish last on Twitter. There are 350 million accounts on Twitter. Why should anyone
listen to you? A passive voice does not show confidence.
I want you to think of Donald Trump (love him or hate him) during the 2016 election
campaign. He KNEW he had to stand out from the rest of the crowded field. What did
he do? He spoke with a strong voice. He captured everyone's attention. If you want to
grow your follower count, you need the same mentality. Speak strongly at all times. If
you can do this one thing, you will dominate the timeline. I promise.

“Whatever good things we build, end up building us” - Jim Rohn
Our goal is to dominate the timeline. If we want to achieve this goal, the way we convey
information needs to feel fresh. You cannot keep repeating information in the same
manner because you will get tuned out quickly. Things will get stale.
In this section, we will learn how to compose every kind of tweet. There are seven types
of tweets: The Classic Tweet, Lists, Questions, Quotes, One-liners, Personal Stories, and
Shoutouts. In this chapter, we will discuss how to write each kind of tweet, what they are,
their structure, and how you can maximize their potential.

The body of a tweet is where you transfer value to the audience. There are three types of
methods that I use when I compose bodies. In this section, we will explore the literary
methods. I will also talk about the most powerful word in the English language. You.
When you compose a body ask yourself, “What are you trying to promote?” Focus on
providing your audience an inspiring idea and convince them to take action.
The word “You” is the most retweeted word on Twitter. This is a fact and it is not
surprising. The word “You” acts as a promise because it addresses the audience directly.
When you are writing always appeal to the audience. Not your ego.

The last line of a tweet serves to summarize and frame your bullet points above. It is
important because the reader will remember the last line. Make it stick in their mind.
Some of the big-name accounts like to finish with a trademark line. Your account
probably is not big enough yet to have a trademark catchphrase. That is fine.
Just understand that the last line is a way of drawing a conclusion for the reader.

A simple question draws readers in and elicits a response. I strongly suggest not giving

You can find questions online but they are mediocre. You want to dominate, not be

Sharing experiences in your life builds rapport with your audience. Treat your audience
like a good friend. Invite them into your life. Speak to them, not at them. The tone is
important. The tone is persuasive. Stories and experiences often make the best lessons.

Create | The Art of Writing Threads
“”Life isn’t about composing yourself. It is about creating yourself.” - George Bernard Shaw
Threads are my favorite way to write on Twitter. They give you a unique opportunity to
open up to your audience that 280 characters do not allow. You can share ideas and
personal stories to connect with the reader. Because of this, I have found that they are
the easiest way to gain followers. Just make sure they are executed well.
Threads get the most traction when you begin to have an audience. I would begin to
publish threads when you have over 1000 follows. If you are under 100 follows, stick
with lists and use the lists as a way to gauge what your audience is interested in. You
can later turn lists into threads. Lists are threads that have not been fleshed out.
I have two categories of threads that I use: List Threads and Personal Stories.
In this section we will cover what they are, how to write them, and how to maximize
exposure.
Exposure is key. You want as many eyeballs on your thread as possible. The more
eyeballs mean more follows. At the end of this section, I will supply you with a checklist
so you can make sure you tick every box. There is a science to threads.

Create | The Art of Writing Threads | List Threads
List threads are easier to write because they have a structure. While they are formulaic
in nature, they keep readers engaged. When you title a post that says “Ten Mental Tips”
the reader will want to read through the entire post. It is a copywriting technique and this
results in massive engagement and impressions. Let’s review the parts of a thread.
Opener
The first frame is the most important part of a thread. You win and lose here.
If the title is not eye-catching and the sub-text is unappealing. You will turn people off.
Choose a title and a topic that is clear. When writing a List Thread use words like tips,
habits, ideas, and mental models. They are an excellent framework. The title should have
the number of points that you will make followed by the idea you wish to promote.
Pictures = engagement.

2. You will scout interest. Respond to comments with a quote tweet of your thread.

Now that the thread is posted everyone needs to know about it. Send it to anyone you
had conversations with on Twitter about the subject. Drop into your engagements
groups, DMs, respond to comments from your prime questions with the thread. Get the
thread out there. Once you have sent the thread off to enough people, pin it to the top of
your timeline. You want everyone to see it when they come to your page.
6. Engage
Respond to every single comment that is posted onto the thread. If someone says they
love the thread ask them to RT in the comments. I never ask for RTs in the thread..
7. Reflect (optional)
I only use this step if the thread has really taken off. You can add another post to keep
the conversation fresh, but I prefer to ask another question or run a poll.

Engage | The Art of Conflict
“The only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself” - William Faulkner
I grew up in the United States in a large East Coast city. When I was growing up AM radio
was still a thing. Shock jocks dominated the airwaves and controversy was their game.
People called in and gave their hot opinions. The radio hosts knew how to hook an
audience. They dominated the public consciousness. Controversy and dissonance sells.
Let’s get real. There are 350 million accounts on Twitter. What are you doing to stand
out? Are you struggling to gain follows? It is probably because you are viewed as a
generic account. Generic equals boring. You need to be selectively polarizing. This is
how you gain an active audience. If you tweet with energy, people will follow.
It is common sense.
This does not mean be a jerk on Twitter. It means to have values. Big difference. Your
goal should be to speak with a strong voice. This will resonate with your readers. If you
continue to do this, you will develop a unique writing style. Develop a tone with
backbone.
aestheticsareethics.com 35
Engage | The Art of Conflict
Polarizing opinions are a lot like Personal Stories. They do not necessarily result in lots
of followers but they do increase engagement. Strong opinions form a bond with your
audience. People respect strong figures. Become one on Twitter.
Select hot button topics that people LOVE to talk about. People naturally love the sound
of their voice. Use it to your advantage.
Sometimes you don't even need to take a stance. Just select a topic and let the audience
duke it out. Ultimately, you want your page to become the public forum where everyone
gathers. Flip the script and have your audience write for you.
You can even play around and take a hot position on meaningless topics. This is a clever
attempt at humor but it will still generate engagement. I love to share hot opinions on the
odd things that I do not like: Cats, Eggs, Dividend Stocks. People will get to know your
quirks and it can often lead to interesting exchanges.

Creating original content is the most important thing you can do. Once you get the ball

When you build a library full of works, you will have a library that will inspire you to create
more content. Consider your works never fully complete. All ideas are like legos. They
stack upon each other. Nothing, in reality, is ever truly finished. All we can do is
keep building. This is simply how the world works.

If you have no idea what to write about, ask your audience a question. They will tell you
what interests them. In a way, you are surveying. This is a healthy procedure for any
account to do. Take the pulse of the Twitterverse. Don't be shy.
Example Question: What books influenced the way you handle finances?
I asked this question to my audience, to find out what they knew. Perhaps you can ask a
similar question. A well-placed question can generate over one-hundred responses.
When I asked this question, I realized there are books about finances that people have
completely forgotten about. Maybe your audience is missing something. If so, you can
create a post that enlightens your audience. There is a gap of knowledge that needs to
be filled. Take action.

Step 2 - Posts
Questions lead to posts. Now that you know how your audience thinks, write appropriate
material. Research relevant subjects. Become an expert and produce quality content.
Use the templates in the previous chapters to keep content fresh. Execute well.

This post built on what my audience told me from my previous question. I went through
their responses and noticed many have never read some of the best books on trading
and personal finances. My audience told me to write something like this.

Step 3 - Lists
When you create enough posts, you can consolidate the information into one list for your
readers. Lists in a way can summarize your previous content into one simple list.
You can even create lists that summarize all of the good information conveyed in the
books. There are multiple ways to approach it. Have fun and embrace the idea.
TIP: It is actually a good idea to read these books if you recommend them.

Step 4 - Threads
I view lists as threads that have not been fully developed. We have asked questions,
created relevant posts, and have created appropriate lists. If they are all getting good
engagement, it is now time to write an appropriate thread on personal finance. At this
point, you should have a good gauge of your audience and how they respond.
Potential Threads

TIP: It takes time to write great threads. Be patient if the first few fall flat. Follow all of
the procedures previously described and hone in on building your craft. It is worth it.

Step 5 - Blogs (optional)
Not everyone has a blog, but if you do this is the last step. Take your winning threads and
turn them into blog posts. Your readers obviously enjoyed the content. Take the ideas
and flesh them out, into long-form.
Once you flesh out these ideas even more on your blog, you can then select the best
lines and turn them back into a post. That’s right. The cycle begins again.

“”Man suffers only because he takes seriously, what the gods made for fun” - Alan Watts
Now that we have all of this content, we need to know when to fire our shots. I pay close
attention to what works and when they work. Timing your posts is almost as important
as writing the posts themselves. Different tweets work at different times. Read the room.
Your goal is to have your tweets dominating the timeline 24 hours a day. Let’s program.
I view Twitter like it is a golf course. My tweets are like golf clubs and I select the
appropriate tweet based on the landscape. Each type of tweet serves a different
purpose. I selectively take my shots to maximize the potential of posts.

Program | Read, Aim, Fire | Morning
I will always put out at least three tweets in the morning. If you are an account with less
than 5000 followers just stick with two. TIP: Accounts with fewer followers should post
less on their timelines and engage more with larger accounts. You will be seen more.
The morning is the perfect time to drop a thread. I only post threads between Tuesday
and Friday mornings. Those are the most active days and the most active times. Save
your BEST content for the BEST times.
I will only post lists 3 or 4 times per week but I post them only in the morning. I try not to
spam them because they take up real estate. I do not want to annoy the audience.

Afternoon
The afternoon (12 - 3 PM EST) according to my research is the worst time to post. It
makes sense, America is at work and India is asleep. This is not optimal. But, our goal is
to dominate the timeline. We are not taking any time off. Let’s not waste these hours.
Questions get massive engagement and comments are an underrated approach toward
increasing exposure. Each time someone makes a comment, it shows that post to their
audience’s timeline. Even when Twitter is on off-peak hours, you will still be seen.
Mid-Afternoon
Twitter will pick up again around (4 - 6 PM EST). At this time, I fire off another solid post.
I usually stick with a Classic Tweet. In the evenings I switch gears and I tend to talk
about philosophy/mindset. Why? Maybe people are in a reflective mood after work.
For some reason, they do well for me there.
In the morning, I tend to talk about money. People have more of a hustle mindset in the
morning. Money tweets perform poorly for me in the evenings.

Evening
In the evening, (7 - 10 PM EST) I post my simplest content: One-Liners and Quotes.
This is the best way to end every single day. Why?
It makes sense. In the evening of North America, people are tired. They want to read
something easy to digest. They are winding down. On top of that, it is morning in India.
English is not the first language in that country. They LOVE simple content.
After Hours
I do not post after 10 PM. This is a personal decision.

Program | Read, Aim, Fire | The Secret
This is a universal truth in any subject. On a personal level, I know this is true. I love
getting better and better. The process of finding out how things work and then powering
through my limitations is what moves me.
You might get frustrated at times with how Twitter works. That is ok. Trust me. That
means you want to improve. You have the desire to get better.
I started on Twitter back in May. I had never written a tweet before in my life. The only
reason that my account quickly grew to well over 14K followers is because I really
wanted to learn how social media worked. Nothing could stop me.
You now have all of my notes. You are well AHEAD of where I was back in May. If you
apply this knowledge properly and combine it with your own, there is no way that you can
lose. The only thing that's missing is for you to take action.
Get to work.
