@jointenderfoot On March 11th, I made my first #buildinpublic tweet

I had less than 100 followers at the time

But I was determined to get attention, so I started to learn about how to grow an audience on Twitter

Forgot how much fun it was to come up with a name for your startup.

Excited to announce.... tenderfoot.io!

Domain name purchased✅
Next stop: landing page

#buildinpublic
Just had the most SPECTACULAR call with @fernandoparnes. Feeling more empowered to work on tenderfoot.io than I have in a while.

That being said...

STUDENTS, looking for an internship?
STARTUPS, looking for an intern?

DM me, and let's get you matched #buildinpublic
@PaulYacoubian And I'm so glad you did!

I believe it was a tweet by you that first exposed me to the #buildinpublic community. The way I used Twitter changed dramatically after that.
@EhabJames Alternative:

Aspiring entrepreneur, but afraid of failing?
> Look to entrepreneurs who are also failing, but learn how they pick themselves back up and keep going

That's one of the reasons why I love #buildinpublic so much!
✨ANNOUNCEMENT✨

The rumors are true! @_joshuafonseca and I are starting a podcast: HackerPod. We'll share our strategies, struggles, and wins as we try to launch our own profitable online businesses.

Of course I'll #buildinpublic, so prepare for some podcast threads later 👀
✨ ANNOUNCEMENT ✨

I'm creating an online course on "How to get your first (quality) 1000 followers on Twitter"

Making this announcement to hold myself accountable and deter myself from backing out.

And in #BuildInPublic fashion, here's a breakdown of how I'm going to do it 👇
If anyone's looking for some #buildinpublic inspiration, follow @jones_spencera. He's building @chime_social in public, and following along his journey has motivated my own.

That's one of the great things about #buildinpublic - you can find motivation in others' journeys.
@karlclement Oh no, I'm on team #buildinpublic! #bip could just mean so many things
@karlclement When you use all #buildinpublic hashtag variations because the community hasn't agreed on one yet 🤦‍♀️😅
@thisiskp_ I find Twitter #buildinpublic is a place to discover all three of these C's. Build in public friends to give you courage, building in public yourself to drive commitment, and the entire build in public movement to provide community.
@AyushAgr91 I have my own opinion about hashtags (I think they're really not necessary unless they're related to a specific niche/community, like #marketingtwitter or #buildinpublic), but definitely better than mass-tagging!
🚀 RELEASE ALERT! 🚀

We updated our landing page and website at tenderfoot.io! Gave our website a HUGE makeover with mega design and copy upgrades! Peep what our old page looked like below 👀

What do you think of the changes? #BuildInPublic
@benbigdelle In what way? Say more!

The tweet above itself is part of the validation process in deciding whether or not to start on a new product. Tagged it #buildinpublic so others can see and perhaps deciding if creating a poll for their own product validation in worth it
I started becoming active on Twitter a month ago. In that time, I gained over 1000 followers and built up an avg engagement rate of 5.3% (the avg is 0.07%).

I might build a no-bullshit guide on how to get your first 1000 followers. Is this something you'd pay for? #buildinpublic
tenderfoot.io is getting a MAKEOVER ✨

Sneak peek of our old vs. new landing pages below (still a work in progress) 👀👇

Major shoutouts to @heykanksha for helping with the copy and @digitalforus for helping with the design!

What do you think? #buildinpublic
In classic #buildinpublic fashion, here's a sneak peak of some of the designs I'm working on for tenderfoot.io!

It's my first time trying mobile-first design (considered better than desktop-first), but transitioning from mobile to desktop is difficult for me. Any tips?
🚀RELEASE ALERT🚀

I'm thrilled to share our FIRST release at tenderfoot.io ! We've launched our landing page and beta intake forms!

STARTUPS - Sign up to get first access to student talent!

Do✅: Be approachable

I come from a hyper-professional background where professional headshots are must-haves.

However, Twitter isn't LinkedIn. Especially in the #buildinpublic and #indiehackers corner of Twitter, a friendly, clean, and casual profile image is preferred.
@MarcKoenig_ @dvassallo I would add "scrutiny" to this list. Many Twitch streamers have given up due to the toxicity of their chat. They just can't take it. Being in public can be very hard. I'm glad the #buildinpublic community is more supportive, else many more budding entrepreneurs would give up.
