You're 2 months into your Twitter journey -
and you're going to quit
I don't want you to - so, let's look at why people's attention drifts >>>
Here are the two reasons why people stick or quit:
1-Focus
2-Purpose
Ask yourself this question:
Q1 - what's the main task I'm focusing on
Q2 - why am I focusing on it?
If I ask you these questions today, can you answer them?
Could you confidently speak about your primary task for more than 5 minutes?
Are you struggling to answer these questions?
Answer them both with gusto - you're all good - off you go to the timeline champ
Answer them with hesitation or struggle - let's examine it
We're going to flip the order & start with purpose
You should create content with purpose
And the driving force leads to your larger goal
e.g., Bob wants to make $500pm affiliate promo
Bob tweets with that purpose - every post
Here's an example of Bob f*cking up:
Bob throws out some clumsy tweets with links, but at least it's with the OG purpose
Then Bob starts posting about mindset
Now he's copy & pasting platitudes
FFS - now he's giving trading tips
Result - Bob is all over the place with his content
That's because he either doesn't know what his purpose is
or is struggling with focus issues
It's likely a bit of column A & column B
Now let's look at Bobette
Bobette is also on the affiliate marketing vibe
She tweets about her journey as an affiliate marketer
She drops golden tips that add value for people a step or 2 behind her
Her lead magnet solves an initial problem
She sprinkles her personality into each post
People love her content & she's building authority
It's a no-brainer to sign up to her email list
See the difference? Bob has no focus or purpose
Bobette is killing it because she has laser-sharp focus & does everything with purpose
Focus & purpose are symbiotic
You need to focus to have purpose
& that resulting purpose requires dedicated focus
The difference is that focus inevitably drifts, especially if sales are slow & you're feeling deflated
If you're at this stage - the 2-3 month curse -
Then you need to redouble your focus
Becoming narrow-minded - invite tunnel vision
The process is the only purpose you're serving
Pro-tip: give yourself a long timeline
e.g., my target is 1 long-ass year to reach my initial goals
They're not huge - 4-figure from Twitter as a side hustle & 2000 followers
That's it - I'm keeping it simple
Because that how to win
Reason why I've failed in the past?
Complexity
I wanted to have a presence on every social
I had a content list that was impressive in scope & never worked in reality
I'm sick of failing after 3 months
I'm tired of returning to the drawing board
I don't need more strategy
I need two things:
Focus & purpose
My friends, that's all you need as well
I recently created & published a mini-course that covers the foundations for sticking with Twitter. Click here to download it for free - I'll be uploading all my lead magnets on there, plus bonus lessons regularly.
Go well, my good people
Your friend,
Momo
