I've been on Twitter for 16 months now 35,000 followers Hundreds of thousands of dollars And a ton of meaningful connections later Here's the tl;dr:
1) Focus on what a Twitter account needs
2) Meet connections IRL
3) Every Tweet is a Remix of another
4) Zoom out and focus; No Distractions
5) Keep an eye open. You can implement ideas that people give out for free.
6) If you want to be someone on twiter, be someone outside of twitter.
7) You're potentially one good tweet away
8) Partner Up! Your combined result is better than the sum of what you can achieve on your own (1+1=3)!
9) Everyone is figuring it out
10) Conistency, Quality and Networking is key
