Leaving Tech

I'm surprised how many of you on 𝕏 are into 2 or 3 of these: Tech Money Health If that's you, let's connect.

@WatcherGuru My advice is: don't follow anyone's advice. Nor Saylor's advice. Nor mine.

JUST IN: Michael Saylor says "the AI buildout is absorbing capital." "Bitcoin remains the premier asset long term."

@0xLuxi That's my normal. Isn't yours?

Soon... very soon, $15,000 a month will be your new normal.

@YashHustle_22 yes, please thank you for the reminder

Stop saying “please” and “thank you” to AI. Save the GPUs.

@ThePeterMick Every dollar counts! Congrats Peter!

Thank you X 🙏 Appreciate every dollar 💵

@unkonfined Same here. Be you. Be real. That's the best strategy to grow. Be yourself.

I reply to everyone. Been doing it since 2008. Be real. Be kind. Be social. That’s how you grow on 𝕏.

@justinhammon_ Wow, I want to see the end result. Must taste like heaven.

Good morning! Today I’m making Sourdough bread with bacon in it. What are you working on this weekend?

@SebsterSpeaks Oh no! I hope you have something left to feed the cats.

This is what I bought with my 𝕏 Payout! I'm only using it when I go for grocery shopping, as it's low key. When I grow up, I'll buy a much better car. I apologize for showing this very old and boring car. Please forgive me. It is me in the video. Of course it's not my car, but I had fun driving it.

@rand_longevity I believe is because of the burnout I have. Or just the 40s is hitting too hard. I will be following your advice and see if I improve.

@leaving_tech feeling 50 is not good

your biological age is how old your cells and organs actually are you can be 50 with the biology of a 38-year-old or 40 with the biology of a 55-year-old the gap is determined by how healthy you live

5 million impressions. That's the wall most X accounts are grinding against right now. For some it takes weeks. For others, months. And if you're under 5K followers, it's brutal. You already know that. I'm not even there yet. But I know what actually moves the needle: viral replies. One that lands can do a million views on its own (like my best reply, see image). That's weeks of posting into the void, compressed into an afternoon. Can you go viral on command? No. Nobody can. But there are a few things that tilt the odds. I'll get into those soon.

@CiprianiRanieri 💪

@leaving_tech Let’s go, you got this!

Quit your job to build, or build on the side first? No wrong answer. Curious. ↓

@notmissing_ Indeed!

@leaving_tech True

Writing a good tweet is 99% thinking and 1% typing.

@i_mika_el yes, it feels pretty random sometimes

@leaving_tech No clue. Super confusing so far. What worked yesterday might not work today. I think getting viral replies is super important to get more traffic on your feed. But somehow it’s connected to momentum. Few posts that are not popular and you are back to zero reach

It's so quiet today I can only assume X paid everyone but me and you've all gone out to spend it.

@ArunimaGanguly2 glad you have you around! 🥳

@leaving_tech i am here :-)

@MnFounder My most viral one (1M views) was about "escaping my 9-5" but in a "health/longevity" post. So actually I can see is about my "Leaving Tech" topic. x.com/leaving_tech/s…

@leaving_tech that's the main problem... does it make sense to have a viral post if the people watching are not the people you want to have in your circle?

Congrats to the ones that got paid from X. We're next. Are you?

@MnFounder those were very random, not related with tech at all 😅

@leaving_tech you did it only on niche posts or you went to any viral post?

@rand_longevity yes, I just get more relaxed with the diet on the weekends

@leaving_tech just don't make it a trend

morning sunlight hits your eyes with red and near-infrared wavelengths that go straight into your cells and activate your mitochondria now your entire body is on the same time, and you wont crash at 2pm

@i_mika_el yeah, me too. It's good to understand how these things work and where the money goes

@leaving_tech Great mindset. Even though I am trying always to keep eyes on the ball. Just focus on the goals

@i_mika_el 😆 I don't rush tbh. My focus is how to provide value and understand what people like/need. Then, money will arrive (or not).

@leaving_tech Sure, right behind you 😁

@SebsterSpeaks Exactly. Mine is anonymous but personal. I like this way for now. I'll keep talking about what I feel I can talk: tech, money, health and more.

@leaving_tech There are people writing only about one thing, but if the account is personal, it's virtually impossible not to touch some other niches.

🚨𝕏 Payout doesn't worth your time, if you are a LEGIT Creator 🚨 Some people will say "You got paid, WTF are you complaining about?" Let me explain: * Huge effort and time in creating original content that, more often than not, it's buried by the 𝕏 Algo * Constant change of the rules, inconsistencies * No transparency (where is the "Home Timeline Verified Impressions Feature? In the trash? Got it!) * You can have tens of thousands of followers, your content reaches almost nobody. * Grifters are still making hundreds and thousands of $ with 30 seconds copy-pasted content effort * 𝕏 Team is too focused on delivering features nobody asked for, instead of fixing the damn platform first. It's like building a 10 stories luxury house on a wretched foundation! * Exceptions exist, but they are a drop in the ocean. Those exceptions are promoted so much, that it's hard to see the shit behind the golden curtain. Let me make this clear: if I would be here for the money, I would starve and be long. I'm here for the people. I built a serious audience (9.4K verified followers, over 12.5K active users), but all the effort seems to be in vain, for one simple reason: my content doesn't reach my followers. If you are new here and you still believe you can make a living here, I'm sorry to break it to you: you can't. If you are here for fun and for the people, then, yes, 𝕏 is the place to be. Congratulations to everyone who got paid and condolences for whoever didn't. Enjoy your weekend. Peace out!
