The reason I quit X 3 years ago
3-4 years ago building on 𝕏, I was on fire.
I spat out threads, tweets, and even emails like it was nothing.
My storytelling was great too. It's safe to say I was among the 1% creators on MONEY TWITTER in 2022/2023.
I was getting engagement, slowly building a fan base and it was going well. It was beautiful and I felt really accomplished.
But then I quit.
I'll tell you why…
Back then anyone who quit posting was considered weak and didn't know what they wanted to do with their life.
I never thought I would also fall into that category.
It started to dawn on me that I was only focusing on the easy part which was writing and posting.
Besides the engagement I got on my post, everything else was quiet.
I made almost no money from it.
I knew how to write good stories, good threads, and tweets, and also how to get people to engage with my posts, but I didn't know how to turn that attention into income.
Hence, I started gradually losing interest.
The space between figuring out how to monetize my attention and quitting had me confused and overwhelmed.
My posts became less frequent, my threads almost non-existent, and my emails stopped completely until I finally quit.
I did try a lot of ways to turn my attention into income, but I didn't stick to anyone long enough for it to work out.
And then I just decided it wasn't worth it.
But today, 3 years later I am back to Twitter and this time I won't be leaving.
I still don't have it all figured out but one thing is certain, 𝕏 is the app for me and I am going to make the most out of it.
Now over to you.
How have the last 3 years been?
Are you still active on 𝕏? I noticed a lot of people from 3 years ago also left so I want to know if you're still building on 𝕏.
Shoot me a reply let me hear from you.
In subsequent emails, I'll tell you everything I tried, and what has solidified my belief that 𝕏 is the platform for me but for now let me hear from you.
Shoot me a response.
Your queen,
Happiness.
