I love this! It's not something I'd considered before, but makes a whole lot of sense.
How have you found the time taken to draft the threads versus if you'd done a normal blog post on the topic? Certainly seems like an interesting challenge 🙂
I found that it takes longer to do the Twitter threads actually, because I have to be more creative to get everything to fit in 280 characters + an image
BUT! I have also found myself being more creative because of it. I think it's a case of "constraints make you more creative" - and I'm really liking the results.
Yeah I thought it would take longer! I guess it's a really good exercise to boil down the topic to its most digestible core points - which is a fun challenge and a great way to teach 😁 Look forward to seeing more in future!
It reminds me of my tweet from the early days of Angular

My post was retweeted by the official site and I was like what happened???
By the way, good post, keep up the good work 👍
Haha - that was exactly my feeling; all of the sudden my twitter notifications were unusable and I had to really dig to figure out what happened 😄
Hey Chris, glad to see you here..I am currently learning your React Native course in egghead and just came to know about your twitter crash course.. will ofcourse checkout that one though...have a great week ahead.
Hi Subhash - Nice to meet you! Hope React Native is going well for you :)
In all honesty, does having a larger twitter following help with much? If we're talking about the value of influence, then it's very hard to really quantify how much more you can charge for your product from your twitter brand alone.
Yeah - I was going to include an entire section on that, but left it out because I thought it may deserve its own post.
I avoided "building an audience" for a long time, because I wasn't sure that I wanted to do that - but as I do less and less consulting, and more and more education and instruction - it's become clear to me that the way to have the most impact is to have get people to actually know who you are 🙂
Plus - I knew I wanted to help as many people as possible, and not many places on the internet have the built in network effects that twitter has; which makes it valuable in itself.
THIS!
Your React thread was really helpful.
Keep up the good work.
Hi @chrisachard , I am quite fortunate enough to know about your twitter course. It's really awesome.
Thank you so much for contributing to the community.
Thanks, and you're welcome!
