February
@GoodMarketingHQ wrote an article/thread on the rise of @LilNasX. His following then turned it into viral content. This allowed me to discover marketingexamples.com.
March
This led me to follow more marketers on Twitter.
Matt’s tweets about social helped me realise there was another way to use Twitter.
Following Matt introduced me to:
• @AmandaMGoetz
• @JuiceboxCA
• @david_perell
May
This video on @david_perell‘s YouTube channel introduced me to @jackbutcher and @visualizevalue.
July
After being on furlough for four months, I began to take LinkedIn/Twitter more seriously. I started to share my experience in social media. This lead to @JoshRobinsonLMS contacting me on LinkedIn. @lmsukmedia became the first @sociallysounddj consultancy client.
August
@JoshRobinsonLMS introduced me to @charliek3lly who built my personal website and now builds @sociallysounddj with me every day!
Socially Sound might look very different without that one LinkedIn message.
After six weeks of sharing in public, I wrote an article about my learnings. How I turned my toxic Twitter timeline into a free learning resource blew up and was read in 15 different countries after @jspector featured it in his newsletter.
Followers turned to friends.
• @amlewis4 sent me firm & valuable feedback on my writing
• @jamierusso became my U.S wingman.
• @RobbieCrab gave me the confidence to become a Social Media Consultant.
• @jackbutcher + @GoodMarketingHQ began replying to my tweets
September
@oliviercantin shared his book recommendations.
@JamesClear – Atomic Habits changed my life, inspired my niche and helped me launch my business by building 1% each day.
October
I launched my ‘Be Socially Sound’ newsletter on Substack.
I became a @visualizevalue member and started building @sociallysounddj.
I spoke on my first podcast which made me my first £1 on the internet.
I signed my biggest client.
I have since worked on three record label releases with his three of his artists. All three releases charted on @beatport organically.
One of them reached #1 on the Deep Tech charts.
November / December
I soft-launched the other side of @sociallysounddj on November 5th. I have since turned that £1 into £1k. The podcast I spoke on in Oct has helped me earn £420 of that £1.1k. Socially Sound now has 16 paying members.
Thank you for reading.
