It also went viral on other platforms such as Facebook and eventually he went on media interviews and appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Everyone is on social media for one of two reasons: to be educated or to be entertained“Any good account who has a lot of followers and has an audience people like them because either they’re informative or, and, they are entertaining” – ZubyTips for Twitter:Ask yourself if your tweet is entertaining or informativeIf you have a small following respond to as many people in the comments as you canEngage with people who have big social media followingsLet your audience know you appreciate them individually and collectively “Anything that is remotely interesting is going to upset somebody” – ZubyDon’t pay too much attention when people try to attack you on social media. The more followers you have, the higher the odds of you stepping on someone’s toes.“If you’re constantly worried about criticism, you literally can’t do anything” Twitter is a powerful networking tool. Zuby has met a ton of people on Twitter and gotten them to come on his podcast and he’s also received a lot of podcast invitations through Twitter.“This is like the most powerful social media platform out there…I think it’s more powerful than Instagram, I think it’s more powerful than Facebook.” – Zuby
