Read on Twitter
This week I've hit 1,000 Twitter followers and wanted to share how I did it & what I learned...
Recently I made it a goal to start speaking at conferences & signed up for @shinebootcamp in fall 2020. For the first time in my struggling relationship with @Twitter, I had people I wanted to talk to using this app.
I was overjoyed with the 40ish connections I could learn from.

In Dec I started paying attention to #MarketingTwitter
I was able to plug into a community. After getting over how awkward it made me feel to talk to strangers on the internet, I found myself having real conversations. I thought it was insane when I hit 500 followers.

In Jan I made a thread about what to include in your marketing portfolio.
I'm 10 years into my career & know that a lot of people struggle with this (always have this ready when you don't need it). I was surprised to see it get shared 286+ times. This is where momentum started.

Here's what I learned along the way:
1) Self-promotion is hard because it's uncomfortable to put yourself out there & you feel vulnerable.
2) Self-promotion is worthwhile. Building your personal brand, pushing yourself to grow, & making new connections is very rewarding.

Looking forward to learning & sharing more as I go!
