Got more value out of Twitter in 30 days.
If raising money or in business THIS is the platform.
Okay let’s go:
I got serious about Twitter on April 12th 2020.
Since that day:
I've raised $5MM and met with over 200 future investors in my real estate deals.
I've done $75k worth of consulting.
And I've met mentors and friends I'll carry with me for life.
What worked for me 👇👇👇
Got more value out of Twitter in 30 days.
If raising money or in business THIS is the platform.
Okay let’s go:
The most valuable folks here are here to learn. They curate their feed. They want business and to LEARN.
No fantasy football. No gifs. No pop culture. No one liner jokes.
Be an expert at what you do. Stay on brand.
At all. Ever. It’s a great way to piss off (and say goodbye) to 1/2 the folks here.
Not everybody feels the way you do and the smartest folks don’t want your opinion. Nothing good comes of it. So avoid it.
Nobody will steal your ideas. Yes it’s uncomfortable and yes you’ll get challenged.
I shared my profit and loss statements on here. It led to discussions with many brilliant folks in the DMs and several folks who wanted to partner reaching out.
Don’t be afraid to look like an idiot. Challenge smart people by retweeting and commenting. Good things come if you do it in a respectful way.
Admit a change of opinion if you’re wrong. Reap the rewards if you’re right. Be kind.
Don’t tweet every 30 minutes. Tweet a few times a day. Save drafts when you get good ideas.
Don’t tweet the thoughtless comments that add no value. Delete them.
Creativity comes in spurts. Tweets should be consistent.
Or to think about something totally new and learn.
If it takes 10 seconds to write, its probably not worth reading.
The algorithm punishes you and your reach will shrink.
Twitter wants its users here, on Twitter. Link out sparingly and do it later in the thread of multiple tweets.
Nobody wants the auto posted blog links.
Hashtags are worthless as well.
Take out every single character that doesn’t support the message you’re trying to get across.
But don’t sound like a fortune cookie. Leave that to the guys like naval who can pull it off.
It’s illegal and you should only subtly talk about partners and LPs.
Let a conversation start with interested folks messaging you and take it off line to get to know them before giving the pitch.
Don’t discourage people reaching out because you’re too cool to give a noob some guidance.
Ignore the dumb questions. Help some people. Let the value come to you.
I have an expensive deal structure. It’s juiced for me.
But folks care a lot less about the structure and a lot more about the sponsor (you) and the 10 year vision and tailwinds behind the investment.
Tell a story.
Folks on twitter don’t want to get fed the same stuff every other media channel is feeding them. Be different.
Make smart people think differently about something.
Would I want a future partner or investor who is wealthy and important reading this message?
Will this lead to productive conversation?
It adds no value. And don’t make that comment a one word approval.
There had to be something the author left out of the tweet or something you can add.
Spend 60 seconds and add some thoughts.
Some humans are mean. Very mean.
Don’t let it get to you. If it does, find another place to do business.
This is sales. You will have rejection and not everyone will like you.
Folks are tired of complaining and bad news stories.
If you need help with content follow
@JamesClear
and apply his concepts to your business.
He is a master of all of this stuff. I’m not.
If you see a great Tweet, apply it to what you do, add your own twist, and schedule it to post a few weeks later.
You don't always need to find your own creative content.
Don’t run around twitter with your hand out asking for help. It’s not about you.
Help other, smarter, more resourceful people. If you slide in someone’s DMs, bring some value.
No, you can’t have a meeting to “pick my brain”.
Nobody cares how much money you have, what you drive or where you live. It makes you look foolish.
You want to be the rich guy who nobody knows is rich and drives the Toyota Camry.
Don’t set your profile up like this:
Because it’s valuable. Do it right and incredible things will happen. Its about building a personal brand.
Set a goal. Make a plan. Execute even when it isn’t fun anymore.
Set your profile up like this:
Everyone can win. There is plenty of money to go around.
Help other people and you’ll get help in return. I only succeeded at this because folks like
@moseskagan showed me the ropes. Study first, ask second.
This was recommended by @theSamParr & @ShaanVP. All about telling a story that captivates audiences.
Just like business, there are 1000 ways to win. You do you and I’ll do me!
I’m just a guy who acts like he knows what he’s doing. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut every now and then.
Met a guy who allowed me to temporarily employ 15 of his employees for 2 weeks.
I see 5+ self storage deals a week in the DMs. People know I’m into storage. So they ask me advice and bring them to me.

Viruses and other pathogens are often studied as stand-alone entities, despite that, in nature, they mostly live in multispecies associations called biofilms—both externally and within the host.

Microorganisms in biofilms are enclosed by an extracellular matrix that confers protection and improves survival. Previous studies have shown that viruses can secondarily colonize preexisting biofilms, and viral biofilms have also been described.
...we raise the perspective that CoVs can persistently infect bats due to their association with biofilm structures. This phenomenon potentially provides an optimal environment for nonpathogenic & well-adapted viruses to interact with the host, as well as for viral recombination.
Biofilms can also enhance virion viability in extracellular environments, such as on fomites and in aquatic sediments, allowing viral persistence and dissemination.

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
