Summary
The play
Post 10 to 15 main posts a day for months; use a comparison people argue about (the same money in Latin America vs Europe); post every follower milestone.
Can you copy it? Our read
The method is volume plus one comparison frame: 10 to 15 main posts a day for months, with exact money-and-place comparisons and a post at each milestone. Around 10K he began selling a course and account management, and some numbers in those sales threads contradict his own milestone posts.
- What it takes
- Several hours a day for writing and posting, and a real life abroad to compare.
- Startup cost
- Time only, by his account: no ads (self-reported).
- Time to a verdict
- He took about five months to reach 3,000 and about seven and a half to reach 10K (calc).
- Window
- Remote income and cheaper countries are a crowded lane; exact comparisons people argue with stood out in the data we have.

Each bar is one day, in date order; its height is how many main posts (originals, quotes and articles; not replies) went out that day. This chart counts posts per day rather than listing each post. May 2–3, 2026 read zero for every account we track: a gap in the data.

Follower counts before today are his own posts (self-reported); X does not publish follower history. Daily post counts are complete. Views are as of Nov 8, 2026. May 2 and 3, 2026 show 0 posts because of a data gap for every account we track, not a break.
Their own numbers, checked
His recap threads are also sales pages: the Dec 22, 2025 thread sells a $47 recorded workshop, and the Feb 3, 2026 thread opens X account-management slots. We checked what can be checked:
| What he said (self-reported) | What the data shows (fact) | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| "6 months ago I had 0 followers" (Dec 9) / "Six months ago I had 200 followers" (Dec 22) / "8 months ago I had 0 followers" (Feb 3) | His first main post of 2025 is Jun 5, 2025; the account was opened in Nov 2022 | The starting point contradicts itself (0 or 200); "6 months" and "8 months" fit if counted from Jun 5 |
| Dec 22 thread: "over 7000 followers" in the first post; "from 200 to 15,000+ followers" further down the same thread | He himself said 10K on Jan 17 and 13K on Feb 3 | Doesn't match: 15,000+ was not reached at the time of the sales post |
| "400 followers in two weeks!" (Jun 26) | First main post Jun 5; Jun 26 is three weeks later | Roughly holds |
| "10k followers! I started writing 7 months ago" (Jan 17) | Jun 5 to Jan 17 is 226 days | Holds |
| "$2,000/month" from X (Dec 9, Dec 22) → "about $3k/month" (Dec 31) → "almost the same revenue … as from my main business" (Feb 3) | On Oct 19, 2025 he posted "Why I will never share my income publicly" (self-reported); two months later the numbers appear in sales posts | Can't check |
| "Posted consistently, replied strategically" | 10–15 main posts a day holds; we did not count replies | Holds for posts; replies can't be checked |
