Why Is Andrew Wilkinson Monetizing His Twitter Followers?

Everybody wants to talk about themselves ... Find out what someone likes to talk about, and then talk to them about that, and just keep asking questions. And I realized that if I make them feel good, if they get to talk about the thing that they're interested in, they will leave that experience thinking of me as a very positive person, regardless of status.

If I lost everything, and I didn't have my Twitter subscribers, I would probably go start an agency. I think that is the easiest way to make 500 grand a year very, very simply.

I got invited to go on $100M+ yacht ... I thought I'd love it, but I actually found it incredibly odd ... I just don't get it. Like, you spend this insane amount of money to be isolated in a floating hotel away from all the plebs.

Tim Ferriss said this thing on the podcast I really liked. He goes, unless something's going to make a shit ton of money, give it away for free.

I've made that mistake where I will get into a hobby or something like that, and I'll turn it into a business, and it will take the joy out of it. So, I think it's a little hard to find that right in between spot.

What Twitter lets you do is have gated tweets, so you can say anyone who pays to subscribe to me gets these extra tweets ... If someone will spend 29 bucks, which is the cost to, basically, buy me lunch, then they can DM me, then they can message me, then I'll respond.

The reality of an agency, though, is that it's a whole bunch of people, their hair is always on fire, they either have too little work or too much work, they're over-hired or under-hired, and the margins can swing around a lot if you're not very disciplined.

I really want to meet Larry Ellison. I've been trying to meet Larry Ellison for, like, probably two years.

Dan Bilzerian has this line ... He's like, being famous is so much better for meeting girls than being rich. It's like 10 times better to be famous than it is rich.
