@stylishduchess Do you want to be dragged like tiger generator or like Firman generator

@Abigail7866 You're right
The most consistent people at the long run beats even the talented ones

Honestly there are many advantages that comes from building on this platform
You'll be surprised at your growth if you stay intentionally and strategically consistent for at least 6 months

8 reasons you should start an X account: (I started in 2024. Here’s what it actually changed for me.)

@theandreilucian I feel like it's actually an indirect weeding process, it's always more advisable to charge your worth and in that phase those who aren't aligned can find their way out
For me I will always choose quality over quantity, a high paying client will always be better than 5 low ones

Just found out my last client blocked me.
And honestly… I’m not even surprised anymore. 🧵
We started working together for $500/month.
Yes… $500.
He had 0 followers when we started.
First month?
Not gonna lie, it was painful.
Barely any engagement.
Barely any views.
Barely any momentum.
First 2 weeks:
Max 100 views per post
Maybe 3-4 comments
But I stayed consistent.
Same routine every day:
- Content.
- Engagement.
- DMs.
- Replies.
- Networking.
Nothing fancy. Just execution.
Then out of nowhere…
BOOM.
His account exploded.
820 followers in 24 hours.
I still remember that day like it was yesterday.
Refreshing the page like:
“No way this is real.”
In less than 60 days…
He went from 0 → 1,100 followers.
From nothing… to a real audience.
And that’s when things changed.
Suddenly, he started acting like growth is easy.
Fast forward 3 months…
I message him respectfully:
“Hey man, you’re doing great.
I love working with you and I’d love to keep building this.
But we’ve been working for months and $500 is extremely cheap.
It’s not personal or offensive… it’s business.
We need to move to at least $2,000/month.”
What happens next?
Silence.
A full week. No response.
Then he finally replies:
“Budget problem.”
Sure.
But here’s the crazy part…
Right after that…
He hires a “copywriter”.
And when I say copywriter, I mean:
A guy with 100 followers across all platforms.
- No results.
- No audience.
- No proof he ever built anything.
Yet somehow…
THIS was the person giving me feedback on content.
Imagine growing someone’s account from 0…
And then getting “tips” from a guy who never grew anything in his life.
That was the moment I realized:
Cheap clients don’t just pay you less.
They also treat you like you’re worth less.
- They want a lot.
- They demand more.
- They drain your energy.
And the moment you ask for fair payment…
they replace you with someone cheaper.
A week later, his teammate messages me:
“We want to pause the agreement. Financials are down.”
Okay.
Then today I checked his account…
Blocked. 💀
After the strategy.
After the consistency.
After the growth.
Blocked.
And honestly?
That’s when I learned the real lesson:
Working cheap is the worst thing you can do.
Yes, at the start, maybe it makes sense.
First 1–2 months?
Fine. To build trust and prove results.
But after that?
If you don’t increase your price, you destroy:
- Your authority.
- Your time.
- Your energy.
- Your self-respect.
And the worst part?
You’ll get replaced by someone worse…
because cheap clients don’t care about quality.
They care about cost.
So if you’re reading this:
Charge more.
If they can’t afford you after you bring results…
They were never your client.
They were a short-term deal.
There are endless opportunities in this world.
And $500/month is insanely cheap for real growth work.
So yeah…
I got blocked by the client I helped go from:
0 → 1,100 followers
Including 820 followers in 24 hours. ( to 2,5k followers and sometimes a bigger engage than me)
And I’m not mad.
Because I didn’t lose a client.
I just removed a bad business relationship.
