w/austin schlessinger (austinschless) & leveraging twitter to network
guest: austin schlessinger, strategy consultant and twitter content creator
- use twitter threads instead of single tweets so people can engage at any point in the story instead of waiting until the end
- build a content habit by writing short essays or threads consistently to develop both a writing skill and a visible portfolio of ideas
- when starting out on twitter, define your core principles, share examples of people doing it well, then tell stories around those ideas
- use twitter mainly to test ideas and network, since small but engaged niche communities matter more than follower count
- use linkedin for job searching but turn to twitter if you want to learn content creation, join startups, or build an online audience
