How I grew @prov_pizza 3650% over the last month.

This is me trying to build in public like @thisiskp_ and being transparent like @jackbutcher.

A
visual thread. 👇🍕

1/ The secret towards getting these gains? Start from zero.

The stats after 4 weeks:

0 —> 77.4K Impressions
0 —> 6,130 Profile visits
0 —> 490 Likes
2 —> 73 Followers, sorry for the bait ;)

Here are some of my key learnings. 👇
2/ @jamierusso taught me to remix the content of others.

With only 9 followers I added some pizza sauce to Jamie’s content.

It got me over 4K impressions on a single tweet.
3/ The key to a good remix: add value.

With @prov_pizza I tried to add:

- Another perspective.
- Humor.
- Pizza. This usually does the trick ;
4/ Remixes were a pitfall too.

I was tempted to remix anything from anyone I found interesting, because it seemed to work.

@foundbryan taught me to stick to my niche.
5/ @prov_pizza is about leveraging talent and building better teams.

@foundbryan helped me realize that for the project to work long-term:

1 Genuinely interested follower > 10 vaguely interested followers.
6/ @craigburgess taught me to get doing things.

He’s the living embodiment of ‘putting in the reps’.

By creating pizza visuals everyday, the creative juices started flowing more and more.
7/ @alicellemee taught me to disconnect from my work emotionally.

It’s easy to get caught up in the (lack-off) success of your posts.

Instead of staring at notifications it helped to simply shift my focus towards creating again.
8/ @aadit taught me how to use Twitter the right way.

I went from consuming towards consuming to create.
If you liked these pizza visuals please give @prov_pizza a follow!

We’ll help you to leverage talent and build better teams, with pizza!

It’s a father-son project with @erikvanderkooij. He’s been teaching me for 21 years now.

More from Twitter

The twitter ban on 45 is a victory in some sense for the immediate but a warning in the long term, not on the curtail of free speech but as gesture towards the expansive power commercial tech has on every aspect of our governance and our lives, I don’t quite have the words but-

What I’m trying to get at, is not just that Twitter’s decision allows us to see—in ways that have been obscured—how much control they have over content moderation—

but as @Elinor_Carmi points out “platforms don’t just moderate or filter “content”; they alter what registers to us and our social groups as “social” or as “experience.”

I’m worried that the celebration of Twitter’s intervention on fascist rhetoric-however too little and too late- directs us to desire tech companies enforcement of liberal and democratic procedures rather than towards an investigation of

how they’ve developed computational infrastructures which exceed the power of the nation state, are hollowing out our institutions for frictionless (see removing human contact) optimization and are insufficiently described by neoliberalism
