Daniel Vasallo left a great job at Amazon in February 2019 with the idea of working independently.
He thought about building a product, but decided that he first ought to build an audience, so he set out to learn Twitter.
From a base of a couple hundred followers 18 months agao, @dvassallo now has over 44K followers.
He wrote a technical book on Amazon Web Services that generated over $100K in revenue. And then he created a guide on how to build a Twitter following, "Everyone Can Build a Twitter Audience," based on his own experience - that guide has also grossed over $100K.
After I spoke with Daniel I purchased his Twitter course and I recommend it. Purchase it on Gumroad here:
