That's what a year of grinding looks like. This is my Twitter analytics from the past 12 months & honestly, it's been a wild ride that I want to share because I think it'll help anyone building their own audience. Started from basically nothing last July. Those first few months were brutal. > Felt like I was posting into the void > Got a few hundred impressions per tweet > Wondered if anyone even cared about what I was sharing But I kept going because I believed the content was valuable. > Had decent spikes in Sept & Oct > Nov-Mar was honestly depressing Impressions dropped to 25k some weeks, engagement felt non existent, & I questioned whether I was wasting my time writing about crypto & DeFi. Here's what I learned during those low months👇 1/ They weren't wasted time 2/ Every thread taught me something about my audience 3/ Every reply built a relationship that would matter later 4/ Learnt a lot from the posts of @0xCheeezzyyyy @kenodnb @thelearningpill @AlwaysBeenChoze & how they went ahead w their posts 5/ I was building the foundation even when it didn't feel like progress. Connected w some amazing folks like @splinter0n @eli5_defi @Hercules_Defi @0xAndrewMoh The real change started happening around April & May. Not because I discovered some algorithm hack or viral formula, (see the numbers are not that great) but because I'd finally understood what my audience needed. Better analysis, clearer explanations, less hype & more data pa. The compound effect slowly now has started kicking in. June & July have been good. But more importantly, the engagement quality is so much higher. People are actually finding value in what I share. The lesson? Your breakthrough is probably closer than you think, but it won't look like you expect. It's not one viral tweet that changes everything (for some it does) but I believe it's the slow build of trust, consistency & genuine value creation. If you're down right now, I promise it's worth pushing through. Slow audience > Quick audience
