Saved by @Alex1Powell

I decided to stop lurking & take Twitter seriously around 6 months ago.

Grateful for a place to share ideas & to have grown from 900s to 7.1k since then.

Learned a lot about Twitter's algorithms over this period.

Sharing 1 tip to grow your Twitter per every 2 likes ๐Ÿ“ˆ ๐Ÿฆ

 All your reach on social media is dependent on Network effects.

If you're below < 2k followers most of your tweets should be helpful replies to other larger accounts.

Don't be a "reply guy" tho. The audience of a large account can tell & the large account holder my block u.
When you borrow reach from a large account & someone clicks on your profile you should ->

Specify why people should follow you in your bio.
Give people a reason to follow you.

Titles & Social proof do help, unfortunately.

Good Format:
I Tweet About / Explore X
I Do Y
I Am Z
Your Pinned Tweet is the next possible point of converting someone into a follower.

Ideally, your pinned tweet should have a lot of social proof (likes) & summarize the essence of your bio & expand as a thread.

This is where you start to have an umbrella for your brand.
Each tweet you make should add value.

It should either:
1. Educate
2. Inspire
3. Entertain
4. Connect
5. Dispute
As with most social networks. Negative Energy spreads the fastest.

Most people tend to tweet:
5. Dispute

This triggers the darker aspect of human nature as people will side with you if you are against someone.

I have personally chosen to avoid this at the cost of growth rate.
6/ When someone emotionally resonates with a tweet they are most likely to engage with it.

Engagement Ranked:
1. Retweet
2. Comment
3. Quote Tweet
4. Like

To have reach & get followers you need Retweets.
7/ People retweet what they wished they tweeted.
You tweet what people wish they tweeted by choosing your community, niche, tribe.

If your followers are a reflection of you in some form, they will gladly amplify you because you are their aspiration.

You are wording what they wish they worded. You are their messenger.

8/
9/ Your tweets should read like the poetry version of your domain.

Short, Elegant, Potent.
10/ Don't rush to prematurely select your niche, it's ok to have a cluster of loosely adjacent topics.

Allow your brand to emerge over time.

If you have something to sell be narrow.
If you have something to say be broad & bold.

You can fluctuate between these.
Your Followers to Following Ratio does matter in adding social proof to be seen as an "authority".

A: Followers 3,599 Following 4,297
B: Followers 2,300 Following 400

Even tho person B has fewer followers than A, B will be seen more as an authority.
To keep your following lean:

- Follow people, not companies, brands etc.
- Only Follow people who regularly tweet.
- Follow people who will engage with you.
- Use lists for interesting people you'd like to keep tabs on.
- Follow people who you wouldn't mind becoming more like.
Threads are the most effective way I've found to convert more followers.

Your thread should be focused, something you have direct experience with & continue more value per tweet in the thread, compared to the tweet standing off alone.
Threads are also the way you can lose followers.

I've LOST 10-20+ followers from an off thread.

Threads can clog up the timeline of other people, so they need to be valuable.

You can get muted or unfollowed if you overuse threads.
Mega Threads can be seen like a releasing movie production, album or launch.

They should be handled with care and if you have a smaller following. You should find followers with a large following who are willing to lend distribution w/ their following to share the thread.
If you need assistance from other accounts, don't directly ask for retweets.

Your thread should ideally be valuable to the account you hope can help.

If they enjoy it & have a history of retweeting, they will share it if they think their followers will like it as well.
17/ Build relationships before you build the following.

If you have multiple strong online relationships, overtime the following will come.

On Twitter, it does down in the DM.
Reach out to people and engage via DM.
Thank people if you've learned something from them.

Share resources and follow up from other tweets they've made in the past.

When you DM, message with the intent to give not ask.

After you've given a while, you'll be invited to ask.
Find people who can sponsor your growth on Twitter.

They will be your Twitter mentor of sorts.

Your sponsor loves the way you think & create and will help amplify your message.

Usually, a sponsor chooses you. You get chosen by working in public with consistent quality.
The Twitter feed & network have some dynamics that also affect your reach and that's Time โŒš๏ธ

When you tweet affects how many people potentially see your tweet.
For example here is a calculation of when my followers are most likely to engage with a tweet based on time of day standardized to my own time zone.

With this data, I can pick the appropriate date and time ranges to tweet.
The seasons also matter.

Most platforms have a seasonality effect on usage. With the Winter being the lowest usage due to holidays.

Similar to large productions you want to ship your best content for the right season.
A tweet's potential reach to propagate through the network is based on the engagement in the first 3 hrs or so since the tweet was made & is limited after about 18 hrs.

After about 3 days, the algorithm doesn't seem to push it any further, even retweets are dampened down.
Your following can go stale.

If you have 2k followers 1 yr ago and have 2k followers now, a large percentage of your followers may not use Twitter much & your tweets won't get reach.
If you get a large chunk of followers, your next few tweets should appease the interests of those who just followed you.

They are likely to promote your tweets for a short window of time while they remembered why they followed you.

After a couple weeks you can switch the topic.
Retweeting content is not a reason why people should follow you.

You need to create content and then people are likely to follow you.

Retweeting does seem to help your account engagement, to help see your other tweets in their feed, but if all they see is retweets, it's noise.
Delete retweets from your feed every 2-4 weeks, so people can find your content more easily when they browse your profile.

A tool like https://t.co/TiwMbDurgl or https://t.co/TC19AZSCzk may help.

I'm considering building a tool to manage Twitter & may take on beta testers DM me
When building a following, your future followers are more likely to follow you if their favorite person is following you.

Your favorite person is likely to follow you if their next favorite person is following you.

Don't court the king, court the princes, the king will follow.
People follow personalities.

Be authentic and yet slightly more extreme than you would be in real life when you're online.
30/ Work in public, if the Public doesn't distract you from the work.

Otherwise, Share the process with the public, when the work is done.
Use the 3 Act Story to design the emotional intensity & pacing of pre-planned threads.

Adapt it to Twitter by starting strong & build the tension early in the first 5 tweets & end strong for a potential retweet or follow.

Every 5 tweets should have 1 tweet w/ retweet potential.
Think of hashtags on Twitter as a chatroom.

Use them rarely, if ever, unless that hashtag is a community that you identify with.

Usings # Hashtags are seen as outdated outside the context of tribe, trend, or ritual.
Good writing on Twitter is based on what your audience perceives as good enough.

To find out what that is you need to tweet every day, ideally in a place where others who are similar to you can see.

To maintain consistency, keep drafts in a simple notes app.

Twitter removed 800 followers from my account today. People have been writing saying twitter automatically unfollowed me for them. Follow me on Parler @robinmonotti & Telegram https://t.co/o5rFaSrCpa to bypass this.

I have already left both Facebook & Instagram. We need to keep agile.

They will try to ban Parler, blaming it for Capitol theatre. I think Telegram may survive as it's not based in the

After spending a couple of days engaging with #DisruptTexts and its most vociferous Twitter defenders, here is what I've learned:

1. Many of its most outspoken defenders are also outspoken racists. Almost every one that I spoke to focused on my skin color and whatever stereotypes they could fabricate from it in their responses.

2. On a related note, their primary means of argument seems to be largely ad hominem. There was very little discussion of the actual issues. Instead, insults, insinuations, and mockery seemed to be the rules of the game.

3. I think this need to focus on ad hominem arises from the ideological rather than evidential nature of #DisruptTexts itself. There's a lot of social justice jargon and feeling used to support it, but no talk that I saw about student outcomes or efficacy.

4. Relatedly, there is a religious feel to the whole thing. Heresy is not to be reasoned with but rooted out and destroyed. Only the truly initiated understand the secret gnosis. The plain meaning of words is disregarded in favor of a mystical interpretation.

What I've learnt on the Twitter this year:

1. The State of Hawaii makes Jason Kenney honorary Premier.
2. Rod Phillips and John Tory say Rod nodded off on a TTC streetcar and somehow ended up in St Barts.
3. New Conservative Task Force created to locate their MPs and staff.

4. Michelle Rempel says, because some other Conservative politicians did the wrong thing, now she can't do the wrong thing, because the media will report she did the wrong thing, and that's wrong for the media to do. That's it. That's the funny part.

5. Mike Harris awarded the Order of Ontario, which basically makes the whole thing an attendance award.
6. Doug Ford announces that a large order of McDonald's fries and a box of Philadelphia Cream Cheese will also be awarded the Order of Ontario this year.

7. UCP MLA Tracy Allard says she left the country and flew to Hawaii because her family can't celebrate Christmas properly without eggnog served in genuine coconuts.
8. UCP MLA Jeremy Nixon says he only travelled to Hawaii to personally forward a really funny email joke to Allard

9. After appearing more than an hour late for the press conference he'd called, Jason Kenney says Alberta's vaccination rates are low because Trudeau screwed up and delivered the vaccines early. That's it. That's the funny part.
10. Doug Ford sent Jason Kenney a Thank You card.

Ever feel like there is an โ€œinner circleโ€ of the 50 biggest finance/business Twitter accounts who all collude to give each other engagement?

Well, there actually is. Hereโ€™s how to join it:

First off, itโ€™s not necessarily a group chat or a formal club.

But there is an unofficial group of the โ€œbig accountsโ€ who all know each other and promote others in the group.

Joining is easier than youโ€™d think.

There isnโ€™t an entrance fee or anything like that.

The best way to join is to become known for one very specific thing that no one else is covering.

is the โ€œself storage guyโ€

@Codie_Sanchez is the โ€œboring business investorโ€

@Agazdecki is the โ€œbootsrapperโ€

If you arenโ€™t already known for something, no one will care about your vague takes. Almost no one gains a large following by starting out as a generalist.

If you have 1 major accomplishment or credential, donโ€™t ever stop talking about it.

Seriously, donโ€™t worry about annoying people. You have to be way more repetitive than you think to get your story across.

Simple and effective way 2 make Money


Idea 1:- Use pivot level like 14800 in case of nifty and sell 14800straddle monthly expiry (365+335) exit if nifty closes on daily basis below S1 or above R1

After closing below S1 if it closes above S1 next day or any day enter the same position again vice versa for R1

Idea2:- Use R1 and S1 corresponding strikes multiple
Incase of R1 15337 take 15300ce
N in case of S1 14221 use 14200pe
Sell both and hold till expiry or exit if nifty closes below S1 or above R1 around closing
If the same bounces above S1 and falls below R1 re-enfer same strikes

Use same criteria for nifty, usdinr and banknifty

(This is must)Use this margin rule for 1lot banknifty pair keep 4Lax margin
For nifty one lot keep 3Lax
For usdinr 100lots keep 4Lax

I bet you if you do this on consistent basis your ROI will be more than 70% on yearly basis.

Couldn't explain easier than this

Criticisms are most welcomed.

SRI KALAHASTI KSHETRAM, CHITTOOR (AP)
#bharatmandir

Panchbhootasthalam representing vayu element, also called Dakshin Kailasha.
As per Shivaโ€™s boon, Vayu is incarnated here as Shiva and worshipped as Kalahasteeswara.
The kshetram is also associated with Rahu and Ketu.


The Kshetram is named after 3 devotees of Shiva- a snake, spider and elephant who worshipped a lingam in the forest. Elephant did jal abhishek with water from its trunk, spider protected it from dust by weaving a web on it and snake adorned it with his jewel.
@GunduHuDuGa


Once, the web and jewel got washed away when elephant sprayed water on the lingam. Angered snake entered elephantโ€™s trunk and bit him but died in the process. The agitated elephant trampled the spider accidentally. Shiva gave moksha to all three.


Hence the name-Sri for Spider, kaal for snake n hasti for elephant.

Shiv bhakt Kanappa is said to have plucked his own eye to put it on the lingam here when he saw blood oozing from the eye on the lingam
This place is the ultimate location for Rahu Kethu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana.

Marvels of Medical Science in Ancient India

ACHARYA SUSHRUTA and SUSHRUTA SAMHITA

Ancient Indians were pioneers in diverse fields of study and their genius was centuries ahead of their times. Feel the glory, basking in pride of their unparalleled achievements.

(Thread)


Sushruta (circa 7th or 6th century BC) was a surgeon who in present times is known as the โ€œfather of Indian medicineโ€ and โ€œfather of plastic surgeryโ€ for inventing and developing surgical procedures. He lived in Kashi on the banks of river Ganga.(1)

His work documented in the Sushruta Samhita (compendium) is one of the oldest texts in the world on plastic surgery and regarded as one of the trilogies of Ayurveda. The other 2 being the Charaka Samhita and Astanga Hridaya.(2)

Sushruta compiled the Sushruta Samhita as an instruction manual for physicians to treat patients.(3)

The Samhita caters to surgical techniques listing over 300 surgical procedures and 120 surgical instruments. Additionally to 1,120 diseases, injuries and their treatments with over 700 medicinal herbs and their application.(4)

Trump on climate: I don't believe it. Trump on Khashoggi: I don't believe it. Trump on Russia: I don't believe it. Idiocy? A canny game? Doesn't really matter as much as the underlying intellectual autocracy. In this administration only one opinion matters.

It's an assault on facts and reason. It's an assault on good governance. It's an assault on the bureaucracies that are being discounted. It's an assault on science and history. But it is also an assault on one of the underpinnings of democracy.

We live in a system that is grounded on the idea of collaborative government. Leaders may have a final word but even then, there are typically checks and balances. Hopefully, in this case, such checks and balances may work. But they also are being tested.

The president's position that he is smarter than all the world's scientists, than the entire intelligence community, than experts who have studied any issue all their lives, is, of course, asinine. But his belief that government turns solely on his opinion, is monarchic.

Louis XIV reportedly said, "L'etat est moi." That he was the state. Trump asserting that he knows better than all, discounts all advice, that his brain is enough to chart the course for America alone, is essentially saying the same thing.
