Yesterday I texted my older brother and asked him for money..
And he said
"The next time you send me this message, I'll block you.
The reason I haven't done it already is because you're my younger sister.
If it were someone else, I'd have blocked them."
When I tell you that…
I'm 22 years old
Less than $50 in my account
Zero friends except for virtual ones
My Dad hates me (not that I care though)
Give me one reason why I should stop grinding.
Hey guys...
The Ebook is here finally.
After so many inner battle, "research process for copywriters" is ready.
If you are a copywriter, and you want to up your research game,
Follow, like, and retweet, and I'll DM you the link.
I started affiliate marketing. Gave up.
I started Amazon KDP. Gave up.
I started Facebook advertising. Gave up
I started writing on Twitter and 9 months in.. I'm still here. Strong and happy about being here.
Reason: writing is fun to me.
Moral: Make work fun.
Signed my first paid client from Twitter today...
Damn! Am I stoked? 😀😀
I'm mostly excited to work with them, because I'll be writing stories.
I'm sooo ready to explore.
☺️☺️☺️
Now I can proudly say I write stories for a living.
😂😂😂
Y'all... I'm confused.
Nothing is working. I feel like I'm drowning with no one to reach out to for help.
Everything's just confusing at this point and I don't know what to do fr fr.
I keep trying to motivate myself but at this point; I can't anymore.
I really can't.
Who's gonna win the battle between AI and humans?
People: Humans
Other people: AI
Me: Humans that use AI.
How about you, Who do you think is gonna win?
A guy asked me a question today..
"Have you started making money from that rubbish you do online"
I smiled.
Few months ago, It would have activated my defensive side, and I'd get angry.
But I didn't.
Cos I understand that these people are mediocre and do not think the way I…
When I started Twitter, I Tweeted about Facebook ads.
Then I stopped, and started talking about S&M.
From S&M to copywriting to human psychology to platitudes back to cooywriting...
Now I talk about storytelling and email Copywriting.
Lesson: your Twitter account is your…
I posted a Tweet about how my older brother threatened to block me if I asked for money from him.
While some people talked annoying trash..
A client reached out to me.
Long story short..
The client paid me 6 figures in my currency yesterday.
Lesson.
Share your stories. 😊
People are so selfish.
I wrote an ad copy for this person some months back. Free work.
The copy brought in crazy leads plus money for her.
I asked her for a review but I didn't get it.
Now this is her today. Asking for the same copy. SMH.
BTW- I'm leaving her on seen.
I wanted to start a YT channel, I did...
I wanted to start a newsletter, I did...
I wanted to start creating TikTok content, I did...
Bottom line: I took action...
The problem now is, you want something, but you don't want to take action.
How's it gon work bro!
My course of study in school: Psychology
My skill: Copywriting and Storytelling
My mini skills: Lead gen (fb ads) S&M
What more could anyone ask for?
Good morning to everyone who is willing to stack necessary skills.
I got a client, in less than 2 hours of contacting them without…
Cold DMs, a portfolio, testimonial, or even sending proposals.
Here's how I did it.
<<<< 🧵 >>>>
I started building on here October last year and since then its been 8 months.
8 months of delayed gratification. Roasting. Grinding. Overwhelm and confusion.
And last month I got my first pay check.
Which was more than 3 times my 9-5 salary.
Don't give up. Ever.
Make it work!
Yesterday I felt like crap.
A lot of people reached out to me showing support and trying their best to help.
One of those people was
@francis_oleh
He took out time to genuinely help me. And it worked.
Thank you so much Francis and everyone who reached out.
Your queen is back🔥
I recently started working with a client.
It's been good all through.
Client is nice. Understanding. Everything.
Two months ago if you asked me one thing I wanted to feel fulfilled I'd say - a client.
But here I am. Working with one.. long-term and guess how I feel?…
6 months ago I was struggling with too much information.
Overwhelmed as hell
Took break after break just to clear my head..
But today..
I get DMs almost everyday of people wanting to work with me.
Now imagine I quit when I was overwhelmed.
Get up and make it work.
GM
There was an issue back home last week. My kid bro told me about it.
I was going to send the money, but my mum refused. When I insisted she told me:
"The fact that you take care of yourself without calling home is you doing me a favour"
I felt that.
Just a lil more time mama.
Sent DMs for 7 days straight last 2 weeks/last week.
(Networking DMs btw)
There was this particular guy that gave me one word replies.
Y'all know how frustrating that can be.
So after a few times of me asking him questions and seeming like I'm prying his mouth open.. I gave…
In December, I wrote an ad copy for an affiliate.
She got tons of leads and converted a good number of them.
It was so good that she re-used the copy in other campaigns.
(First and second images)
Here's a breakdown of how I wrote it…
<<<🧵>>>
There's this course mate of mine..
She's always on her own, only talk to a few people.
Leaves immediately class was over.
Studies a lot. Kinda nerdy..
Then there's my other course mates who can't keep their mouths shut or let her be.
Always judging her for being proud and…
I k!lled entitlement mentality since I was 16.
My mum doesn't have else she'd give me.
My dad doesn't care.
My siblings would most times play you before they give you.
I grew up knowing that no one's got me.
No one's coming for me so I worked for every single thing I own.…
Another evidence that school is a scam.
Over 500 students, and you give an assignment of not less than 7 pages.
7 times 500. At least 3,500 pages.
We know you can't read them. Why make us do it?
Smh.
When I started creating on Twitter. I didn't know what I was doing.
I had no clue whatsoever.
But everyday I put out content. No matter how stupid it sounded.
I did anyway.
Now... We are 1k+ family.
Goes to tell you that clarity comes from doing.
Today makes 265 days of creating on Twitter.
October 10th.
I heard Francis speak on a space and I thought..
"If he can do it, why can't I"?
And that one decision got me here.
It's been a journey. I have talked about..
• Facebook ads
• Sales and Marketing
• Copywriting…
I don't wanna sound rude or anything like that, but why?
What some affiliate marketers do is wait for someone else to generate leads, and then they'll go milk it.
Can you believe that an affiliate in my launch wait-list is sending DMs to everyone on the list..
Asking them to…
Hola.
My name's Happiness.
I'm a Copywriter and Storyteller.
I write copy with stories for info product owners, coaches and businesses.
I'm your guy when it comes to Copy with stories.
And I'm fine as hell. 😊
How about you?
First you start clueless. Then you start gaining clarity. Then you start getting noticed.
You start getting followed. Gaining traction. Your followers starts to turn on notifications.
Then you start getting mentions...
Just trust the process!
I did free work for an IG creator.
Wrote 4 emails for them in exchange for a testimonial and got nothing.
He stopped replying after I delivered the job.
And when I reached out to him again he said he's been busy and would check them.
Still nothing.
I was feeling betrayed…
It's been over 4 hours. And 6 payment processors tried.
Client is trying to send me money, but I can't receive it..
You know why?
They don't work in my country.
Client is frustrated. I am too.
How do you receive payments?
People will tell you
• Start your day early.
• Wake up at 4 am
• Work when the whole world is still sleeping.
But it's not that easy.
Waking up isn't the problem. Staying up is.
So when next you wake up early and feel like going back to sleep.. Dance.
That it. GM 😚
This is the point in my life where everything else has to wait for me to ruthlessly build my life.
I told a friend yesterday..
"You won't be seeing me as often as you used to.
I'm bout to take up a project that will have me locked in work all day.
The only time you get to…
What day it is today?
That's right.. the launch day.
"Badass storytelling" goes live today.
You are finally getting the exclusive guide to becoming an excellent storyteller in 30 days.
If You still struggle with:
• Telling your story
• Coming up with ideas
•…
Good morning to my family of 699...
It's the weekend...
I'll try to take a rest, do too.
Meanwhile...
1 more till we cross the 700k milestone.
😁😁😁
Thanks y'all.
3 types of traffic..
• Traffic you don't control - referrals, blog posts, SEO etc
• Traffic you control - traffic gotten from ads
• Traffic you own - Email list
Your goal as an entrepreneur is to own as much traffic as you can..
Build your email list.
Credit: Dotcom…
Engagement dropped but not my beauty.
(That's cocky as hell. I know 😁)
But the goals changed so did the means and it'd be crazy if results don't change too.
The best is yet to come.
I have never been as confused as I am now since being a creator.
You'd think that when you get to 1k things become clearer. But the reverse is the case. I became more confused.
When I was at 200 I was happy and excited about my journey with almost everything as clear as a…
Yesterday. I didn't just hit 1k. I gained 60+ more followers.
Wow. I'm super grateful to y'all.
I didn't announce it earlier. But expect two things from me.
• Profile change
• A giveaway
It's been a long time coming. The giveaway will be about writing email SLs.
Not your…
I asked a question in a Facebook group of business owners one time..
Question was "would you outsource Copywriting to a professional".
The answers I got were;
"No. It's not Important. AI can write better copy than humans". Etc.
What's your honest thought?
Let's discuss.
I'm an email copywriter... But I completed a landing page copy for a client today.
What does this tell you about niching down?
Niche down but don't be a one trick pony.
Don't put yourself in a box.
I have learnt so much from Twitter that I don't expect immediate results when I start a project now.
I give it at least 6 months to start seeing the slightest results.
Twitter has taught me long-term thinking among many other things.
I'm grateful.
Gratitude Sunday.
Everyone on here acting like they have it all figured out...
I don't, and I need help.
How do y'all send DMs?
I'm literally about to cry right now.
I feel like I'm doing it wrong.
😭😭😭
These days when I pick up my phone to write a "Valuable Tweet"... I feel this constraint.
My mind is telling me to do better than just value.
Value is everywhere. Every account on Money Twitter is posting value.
But the question is... What makes your "valuable Tweet" stand out?
I have always been faster at hand writing.
Whatever it is. Stories. Content. Copy. Everything.
I write on a notebook then transfer to the computer.
You might say; but that's double work.
Maybe for you. But for me, I enjoy it and it's easier.
But lately I started trying to…
I used to write like this on my first month being on Twitter.
Blocked up sentences. No white spaces and stress to the brain and eyes.
Until I knew better.
Now I get compliments everyday saying my writing is amazing.
And I get paid to write too.
You will always suck the first…
I stayed up so late last night,
Slept at 1 am, and woke up at 4 am...
I thought I was done with the Ebook, only to discover I had a lot of changes to make.
But I'm done now, and it will be ready tomorrow unfailingly.
Good morning Lovelies.
I have been thinking of running a free coaching for creators interested in learning storytelling.
It would last for 3 weeks. I'll share everything you need to become an excellent storyteller.
Would you join this group if it went life?
Started working at 16.
Worked as:
• A house keeper.
• A waiter in a restaurant (almost got violated by useless men)
• Store attendant
Saved up and paid for my brother's WAEC exams.
Got a job at ShopRite.
Worked for 4 years and quit.
Found the online world with…
I added a linktree to my bio a few days back..
And this morning, I received this email.
Damn! Big moves.
Stop creating content just for the sake of it.
You have done enough of that.
Time to be intentional.
Copywriting is 80% research and 20% writing.
How do you break down your research?
Mine:
40% Market research
20% Competitor research
20% Product research.
It's the start of a new week.
Today I'm gonna plan how the rest of my week will go.
And probably rest.
Also... I'm gonna hit 1k this week. Yeeee💃💃💃
Happy Sunday Chikos 😌
Months ago I used to beat myself up when I see other creators do better than me.
I thought I wasn't giving enough.
But now.. some of those creators are far behind me.
And the ones I was ahead of then are ahead of me now.
Growth is not linear.
It comes and goes.
Know this.
I be around at least 500 people everyday in school..
All within the ages of 17-27..
And what these people do all day is doom scroll.
Watch TikTok, Facebook videos etc.
So if you're here, creating content..
Rest assured that you are early.
Good morning.
2 am today got me so energetic and I decided to not waste it.
So I started working. I completed a landing page copy I was writing. Wrote a story Tweet for client and danced a little.
It's 7am now and I have just one task to go.
Start your day early bro.
GM
I have an Exam in less than 30 minutes.
But here I am writing a Tweet after replying to 20+ notifications.
Talk about obsession 😊
Let's go bring that A home for momma
😁😁😁😁
Before joining Twitter... I used to think you can't risk making a mistake in your writing.
I saw a lot of people diss each other for a simple misspelling.
I thought everything had to be perfect.
Now... I make mistakes in my Tweets. Sometimes wrong spellings. Sometimes wrong…
How I write headlines..
I pick out 3 different headline formulas..
These three for instance...
✓ Pain point. Open loop. Hook
✓ Paint point. Desires. Credibility.
✓ Big idea. Unique mechanism. Credibility.
Then I Write a headline on each of them.
How do you write yours?
At exactly 11:22 pm on Sunday - my kid bro broke a news to me that made me cry like crazy.
Nope. No one died. No one was injured. None of that.
He told me he was moving to go be with his friend in Lagos (a different city from the one he lives in with my mum)
His reasons were;…
A creator did free work for me yesterday, and I was more than happy to give her a testimonial.
Why?
I know how it feels to get rewarded for your hard work.
Even if it's just words on screen.
Notice my new banner?
It was designed by
@itsd0c
Y'all check her out.
I landed a client, and part of the work I did for them besides copy is building a landing page and running ads to the landing page.
Lesson: stack skills.
Don't stick to one skill alone, learn other complimentary skills to boost the main.
BTW, a🧵on this tomorrow.
Stay tuned.
Months ago growth was..
• Mentioning big accounts on your Tweets
• Retweets from them
• Curating their threads etc.
But now..
• Authenticity
• Value dripping content
• Engagement
• Networking.
You can't have it the easy way anymore.
You gotta work for it now.
I was supposed to write an email yesterday against today but I didn't.
Don't ask me why. I don't know either.
I'm gonna write it today though.
You wondering why I'm telling you this?
I ain't got nothing else to Tweet this morning.
😂😂
GM Chikos 😌
I came home for the weekend and found my neighbor had brought his baby mama home.
It got me thinking..
A good number of the girls I know ended that way.
Get pregnant, give birth, move in with your baby daddy, and become a full time housewife.
It's so normal now that every 7…
I made up my mind to stop chasing clients and focus on making friends.
So I stopped worrying about clients and channeled my energy more into relationships.
Although I haven't done excellent.. I'm on the path.
But guess what happened when I stopped worrying about landing…
One of the reasons I hated my 9-5 was..
It gave me no choice.
I had to wake up and go to work.. take BS from managers whether I liked it or not...
But with X.. I have multiple choices.
I have freedom.
And most of all.. I'm home. 😊
I'll take it anytime.
We preach about going out of your comfort zone to others and ignore the fact that we are in our comfort zone.
Posting content is no longer a struggle for us.
Engaging feels like second nature now.
Networking. Making friends all comes with ease now.
And just like that.. Twitter…
I was hella scared of hitting the send button yesterday after writing the copy.
Even though I knew everything was okay.
Grammar. Target Audience. Clear message. Readability -grade 4.
But I still fidgeted before hitting the send button.
I tossed my phone to the side to avoid…
What you need is 2 normal notebooks, 1 12-in-1 notebook, a laptop..
an airpod (don't use both at the same time) and a pen to kill it on X.
Don't overcomplicate it.
Good morning.
Been on LinkedIn for a few days now, and only what I have seen so far is..
• Success stories
• Gratitude posts
• I joined this 21 days challenge..
• I signed this client..
Not to forget platitudes.
And most of these people don't know how to write a good story.
In my head…
Before I pivoted, I used to average 30 - 40+ likes in a tweet...
But now, I struggle to get 10 😀😀
But the best part is... I'm happy I get up to 10...
Because then, I know I'm speaking to my ideal audience.
I wanna complain so bad and pour my heart out to y'all- but I don't wanna sound like a brat.
Or bore you with my sh!t.
So.. I'm just gonna slap a smile on and post content like everything's fine.
BTW... Who's on thread?
I am. 😊
MT these days is a joke.
14-16 year olds wanting to move out of their parents house
People going to college just to drop out and update their bios to "drop out"
Kids flaunting lies and fake results to fool people into believing their services is the best.
Growth strategists…
A guy is here right now talking about a forum. "Creative writers forum"
He's urging us to join. Poem Writer's. Story writers. Etc.
Should I join?
They probably gonna send me away from their group in less than 2 weeks.
Cos I don't write the way they do. 😂😂
Some of you have requested I give a breakdown of how I wrote the copy for my client.
I will. I promise.
But before then.. know this..
Spend the most time researching.
Copywriting is:
80% research
20% writing
Don't sleep on it.
Well. Well. Well.
What do you think?
Did you recognize my profile at first glance?
Anyway... This is it. My New profile.
Let's do more now shall we? 😁😁
Header was designed by
@alien_graphics4
(the guy knows his shit fr fr)
At this point, I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know if I'm on the right track.
I'm in a rut rn. That's why my bio is generic.
I lack clarity. And I know I need mentorship.
But thanks to Paypal.. I can't afford it.
I pray they release my money. Lol 🤣
It's crazy fr fr.
