If leveraged quickly, Twitter can lead to life-changing opportunities, jobs, mentors, and friendships.

It did for me.

But 95% of people have no idea how to start.

Here's a thread of 13 tips to help you turn Twitter into your most valuable resource:

1. Protect your attention from the algorithm.

Twitter is geared to try and serve content they think you like, not content that will create a positive impact for you.

To protect your attention:

• Use Twitter Lists
• Block Trending Topics
• Regularly Mute Conversations

2. Build Twitter Lists

The Twitter timeline is scattered. One second you are learning about NFTs, the next the best coffee shop in NYC.

Lists create content silos that allow you to build deeper understanding of the topics you actually care about.

2a. Use Lists on iOS

The majority of Twitter consumption happens on mobile.

Easily toggle between lists at the top of your screen by pinning them there!

3. Use Tweetdeck

Tweetdeck superpowers your Twitter experience.

• Displays all your lists in one place
• Timeline is organized by chronology not the algorithm
• Allows you to see the bios of your recent follows (DM the ones that interest you!)
