If you use it right, your Twitter account is worth more than your degree.
But 98.8% suck at it.
Here are 10 unique ways to turn Twitter into a crazy valuable asset:
Curate Your Following
Most users use Twitter to follow news. It’s okay.
But you won't make Twitter an asset then.
To make it an asset, you need to build a high-signal information diet.
Let me show you...
Use Twitter Lists
There’s too much drama on the Twitter timeline.
I use Twitter lists to cut the noise and amplify the signal.
Bonus: Lists aren't affected by the algorithm.
So you’ll see what you want to see. Not what the algorithm wants to show you.
Here’s a guide:
Use Advanced Search
Normal search is pretty bad.
To find the best content, use these search functions (play around with the parameters):
(from:aaditsh) min_faves:500 until:2022-09-01 since:2020-05-01
This function will spit out:
Tweets from @aaditsh with more than 500 likes
Mute Trolls
Trust me — trolls are not worth your time.
If you’re not enjoying someone’s attitude, mute them:
1. Go to their profile.
2. Click "more" → "mute profile".
Their content will become hidden on your timeline.
Now, it’s much more peaceful (like it should be).
Polish Your Bio
Your bio is your one-line identity on the internet. Make it crisp.
Know what you want to be known for:
Mine: "I deconstruct how the top 1% play the game of business and life.“
Here are some great examples to learn from:
Integrate Your Newsletter with Twitter
If you have an email list/newsletter, use this Twitter feature to maximise sign-ups.
I have seen 2x subscribers arriving at my newsletter (per day!)
Seriously - this is a game-changer.
Write Twitter Threads
There’s so much noise on Twitter.
Instead, you can deconstruct complex topics into simple actionable tips for others.
You’ll end up building a community of curious folks here to learn! = Valuable asset.

Don’t Network, Make Friends
You can literally reach anyone via Twitter DMs. It’s such a powerful tool.
If you go in being “salesy” and only asking for stuff, you’ll be ignored.
If you go in with a “give-first” mindset, you’ll win.
Use Tweetdeck:
This is a no-brainer.
Tweetdeck will make your Twitter experience 10x better.
You finally feel like you have control over your information diet.
