Stop wasting time growing your personal brand & monetizing and start doing this...


I rarely say this, but there actually is a shortcut to growing your audience and income fast...

I'll tell you how, but first, let me tell you how I discovered this:

When I first started building my personal brand on Twitter, I was clueless.

I didn't know what tf I was doing.

Posting daily platitudes into the void and building a massive audience of...

13 followers in my first month.

I didn't think I was cut out for this personal branding thing and nearly gave up until I discovered that I could follow and unfollow people to grow a following.

I know this was probably not the best advice, but we all had to start somewhere right?

Anyway, I reached my first 200 followers the next month using this method (it was a massive slog).

I was always told by the Twitter gurus "Send DMs, comment under big accounts, build relationships" but I didn't know why that would help me grow or make money.

One day, I wrote a tweet about quitting alcohol, and then some guy with 50 followers replied asking for my experience because he wanted to quit too.

We jammed in the comments and then started sending DMs back and forth.

We found that we had a lot of similar beliefs, values, and goals (which you'll find is VERY common on this side of Twitter) so we jumped on a call...

BOOM

Ideas came pouring out.

I gained clarity on:

  • What I should do to grow my account
  • How I could monetize eventually
  • How I could create content systems

That's not even the best part.

He introduced me to a bunch of other guys he'd met along the way (who are all A-players by the way) and I jumped on a call with ALL OF THEM.

Any specific questions or problems I had that Google didn't have an answer to, I could reach out to my network to ask them.

I was mind blown...

For the first time in my life, I met others who wanted to:

  • Level up their life
  • Build online businesses
  • Travel the world
  • Live intentionally

Along my journey, I met more people and jumped on more calls. Whoever I could meet in person, I did.

In December 2022, I jumped on a call with a guy and he told me that he invested in Dakota Robertson's ghostwriting programme with the remainder of his savings...

And so because of my network, I got in EARLY to his programme before Dakota even released it publicly...

I was able to stay ahead of the curve.

Remember the guy who asked about my experience quitting alcohol?

Well in April 2023, I took a flight to Barcelona to meet him and a few other guys I'd met at the start of my journey.

Living with other like-minded people levelled up my mindset about 100x (no joke).

I gained a clear understanding of the EXACT steps I needed to take to reach my next 90-day goals and destroyed the limiting beliefs that held me back.

I'm grateful to say that I'm around 60 days in and I'm on track to hitting those goals.

By taking action towards it every day, but also continuing to build and grow the existing and new relationships with people...

I landed not one, but three 4-figure ghostwriting clients.

The best part?

They were referrals from 3 different people... BECAUSE of the network I built.

Can you see the common trend here?

Everything you could want to grow your audience and income online and build your dream life can be found through a network.

You can find:

  • Clients
  • Mentors
  • Like-minded friends
  • Business partners
  • Your 1000 true fans
  • New information before anyone else (a.k.a the "alpha")

The list is endless.

When you realise that you're one person away from your dream life, it makes it a no-brainer to start building and growing the relationships in your network.

And there's no better place than Twitter to do that...

One of the most powerful mindset shifts I've learned recently is the ability to play long-term games when it comes to money/business. For example, when building an agency, the short term mindset would be to keep as much money as possible, whether that's doing everything yourself, or paying employees as little as possible. Let's say you're making $20k/month and have an 80% margin on it ($16k/mo profit). Now the short-term view would be "let me just keep on doing everything myself" or "hire a...

One thing I’ve started to realize blatantly clearly is that the success of a business is inversely proportional to the number of beliefs you hold. It was never about the tactics. The how to get rich quick schemes. Why? Because they all work. You call them a scam because they didn’t work FOR YOU. Minor difference there. Every single thing that you’ve pursued and failed at was never down to the lack of knowledge. You already know this but knowledge can be found everywhere if you look hard...

You came to X to build your personal brand because you saw so many others before you built their audience successfully and made good money from it. So you decide to go all in and build your brand too. Doesn’t look too hard right? You post and post and post…and nothing… 2 months go by and you get demotivated and give up. “Maybe this isn’t for me”. So you take a break and go back to working the 9-5 you hate or the college where you struggle to pay attention to in any class. Another month goes...
