🤫 Gossiping About Twitter Growth, Money Making, Raising Funds And Product Hunt [Video]

This is one of those interviews that wasn’t intended to be an interview at all. 😀

I met Alex on Twitter, and he asked me if we could have a call. It was a lovely talk. The conversation was smooth, and I liked the vibe and Alex’s personality.

After the call, Alex told me he had been recording the whole thing the entire time. 😃 I was surprised but very positive. I liked it so much that I turned it into a 1-hour-long interview.

We gossiped about many things. In this part, you can catch something about:
– Twitter growth and X Premium (Blue check mark)
– Monetizing social media
– Product Hunt launches
– Raising funds (VCs vs. Bootstrappers)

Alex is an entrepreneur with several projects spanning the online and offline worlds. Some of them include a coworking space and a Twitter marketing agency and he is a part of the team at Questflow, a collaborative AI automation workspace for automating tasks across platforms. In the last couple of months, he has been working with projects – he has helped launch on Product Hunt, validating their ideas with successful launches there.
