What I learned from growing my IG page to 30k+ followers and selling products worth thousands of $ (and how I helped other creatives achieve the same) 🧵A Thread (1/22)

What’s up gang, long time since I posted here. In the meantime I grew to 120,000 followers on IG AND I will soon upload my first ever long-form YT video explaining how.🥳 The video will drop at 1,000 subs and we only need 115⬇️ youtube.com/@teezytheturtle?…

Don‘t worry I am not dead. Just farming the organic reach on IG ⛏️.

Who here uses weighted blankets? I recently bought one for myself, but it was broken (the glassballs were falling out). Before I sent it back I tested it for a few minutes. At first I was really hyped about it (I love the feeling of getting squished) But the more I layed inside it, I noticed the disadvantages of it: - hard to transport/clean - need to use two blankets which can be annoying - makes waking up in the morning even heavier (literally) - can‘t use in summer (too hot) - if you get used to weighed blanked it might get harder to fall asleep in normal beds e.g. in hotels ? So I sent the broken blanket back without ordering a new one, not sure if it was the right decision though. So long story short: If you also have bought a weighted blanket? Do you still use it?

My theory: The older you get the more comfortable you will get with charging higher prices. As a teenager you‘re only exposed to low prices, $100 feels like a fortune. That‘s why most young creatives undercharge themselves, because they don‘t want to “overcharge” others. As you get older you need to pay more adult-priced bills, and you notice how $100 is nothing -> You stop thinking you “overcharge” others. -> You start paying yourself fairly. Thoughts?

“Creating content is so exhausting, you have to create content every single day to keep the hamster wheel going” …is the most p🐱ssy thing I‘ve ever heard. Everything greater in life demands constant effort. Work in a factory for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week before you talk about “Hamster wheels”. Nothing easier in life than earning money on your phone through posting about a topic you‘re passionate about once a day. Check your privileges. - A content creator

My productivity routine rn: > wake up at 9am > breakfast > do tasks for one hour > watch memes for 15min. > do tasks for one hour > workout that exhausts me physically and puts me in unutterably pain, so that any other task and struggle in my life seem like a joke > eat > do tasks which now seem like a joke > watch memes for 15min. > do tasks which still seem like a joke > chill in the evening > fall asleep at 0am without phone and within 2min. using relaxing body/breathing technique This is 4% satire.

No emails after 6pm

Mental health advice: Get paid.

Companies don‘t care whether their work is made by humans or AI. But no one wants to wear a T-shirt with an AI generated design. Build an audience and a valuable brand around your craft. It‘s the only way to protect yourself from AI longterm.

My biggest sales channel is still email and DM's. Don't just put a link in your bio and hope that people will click on it (Because they won't). Create systems that will bring you sales: IG Story -> DM -> $ Free Product -> email -> $ Post -> Comment -> DM -> $

You will never build an audience if your haters can just block you and never see from you again. Can you simply block @Drake and stop seeing “AY NEED DA MAX WIN” videos? No. You need to create so much buzz and attention on multiple accounts and platforms that people can‘t choose if they want to see you or not. You need to ruin their day on a daily basis. Think bigger.

You‘re not on social media to make friends. Okay make some friends. But you don‘t need to agree and please every single person. Don‘t be the next one who just comments “Facts💯“ under everyones posts.

If you‘re a small business owner and don‘t: - make $10k/hour - run on 112% profit margins - owe the IRS $2M then I am sorry, but you don‘t run a small business and rather a HOBBY

With THIS morning routine I boost my sales by 300% : 4am: Manifest some sales ✨ 6am : Get the right frequency 🌀 9am: Read a Book about sales while listening to a podcast 🧠 12am: Watch some MOTIVATIONAL TikToks 🗣️ How about you ?

Who also gets annoyed lately by pseudo smart/motivational content on Twitter? Some people wake up early, make a couple bucks on the internet and think they are the enlighten one. Writing some tweets in a dramatic manner. Earning money on social media is not that deep bruv. Used to be that guy too. But trying to change that with more relatable content.

I literally only post about how to grow on social media. Am more than happy to answer DM‘s but please ask more specific questions.

“Omg they are so lucky and I am not“ Chances are they work harder than you. Hard pill to swallow. Always notice that when analyzing people doing better than me and comparing their day to day habits to mine. Let’s do better.
