How did you start your Twitter from scratch, though? What you do is you got to pick like 30 to 100 people who you actually enjoy consuming their stuff and comment on their stuff. And what you're trying to do here is make them friends with you. Because all the networking happens in the DMs. I was trying to pierce into it. You're not going to be accepted into a marketplace unless the people who are already dominated the marketplace accept you. I started an account, made a thread. I go reply to this tweet with a niche, and I will tell you how to scrape their email addresses. And at that point, I was at like, maybe 800 followers. I got 500 comments on it. People just, here's my niche. I would post a video of how to do it, use this software app, and then take the data over here and enrich it like this. And then. And then you can set it over here, and then you can make a cold email campaign like this. I think it was like eight hours. It was all day. I was working this thread, and big accounts were commenting too. And they're like, dude, this is like, really smart. And what happened is very interesting. One of the guys messaged me. He goes, hey, we want to invite you to this private group. I was like, cool, join the private group. Now I'm in. That was it. Later, I'm. I'm the biggest one.
