a single source, nothing corroborates it

Fit the posting into a fixed slot in your day

Left open-ended, the platform absorbs the hours that belong to building. Running it as timed blocks in a set order, a block for peers, a block under large accounts, a block for whoever answered you, then your own post, caps the cost while still compounding, and drafting in the evening quiets the internal editor.

The method

1. 01

   Put social media inside a timed daily routine using a task timer, so the platform cannot swallow the hours that belong to building and marketing.

2. 02

   Split the daily session into fixed blocks rather than browsing: replies to peers, replies under large accounts, replies to people who answered you, direct messages, then posting your product.

3. 03

   Set up two lists on the platform, one of accounts at your own size and one of very large accounts, and work each list separately.

4. 04

   Do not rely on the notifications tab, which drops some interactions. Use a search that filters replies addressed to your handle instead.

5. 05

   Engage with other people far more than you publish your own content, particularly in the early stage.

What it returned

• 21,000

  Forty minutes a day, run as timed tasks, alongside a following of about 21,000.

• Ten minutes on peers, ten on large accounts, ten on people who replied, five on messages, five on posting the product.

• During his self-directed programme he made himself write tweets at the start of the day and each one was a grind. Moving them to the evening made it feel like play and he rates the output higher.
