I went from 900 to 125,000 followers in 12 months.
But 90% of that growth came from 9 threads - which on their own generated 20,000,000 views.
So here's a recap of those 9 threads (and what they can help you with):
I studied math at Princeton - mostly because I hated writing.
But colleges do a horrendous job teaching you to write.
So I spent 200 hours learning to write on my own.
Then, I summarized the frameworks I

College completely failed in teaching me how to write.

So I spent over 500 hours studying legendary authors and copywriters.
Then, I distilled what I learned into 6 simple frameworks.

I'm going to do two history threads on Ethiopia, one on its ancient history, one on its modern story (1800 to today). 🇪🇹
I'll begin with the ancient history ... and it goes way back. Because modern humans - and before that, the ancestors of humans - almost certainly originated in Ethiopia. 🇪🇹 (sub-thread):
The first likely historical reference to Ethiopia is ancient Egyptian records of trade expeditions to the "Land of Punt" in search of gold, ebony, ivory, incense, and wild animals, starting in c 2500 BC 🇪🇹
Ethiopians themselves believe that the Queen of Sheba, who visited Israel's King Solomon in the Bible (c 950 BC), came from Ethiopia (not Yemen, as others believe). Here she is meeting Solomon in a stain-glassed window in Addis Ababa's Holy Trinity Church. 🇪🇹
References to the Queen of Sheba are everywhere in Ethiopia. The national airline's frequent flier miles are even called "ShebaMiles". 🇪🇹
