About The Author
In late 2020, I was frustrated with my life. Despite many years of building startups, I felt like a nobody because nothing was built under my name.So I gave Twitter (now X) a chance to build my first-ever online presence. It was chaotic at first but I ignored advice from the so-called Twitter gurus and showed up as my true self focusing on sharing, helping, and lifting people up.In a little more than a year, I built an audience of 20,000+ connections and a growing 5-figure online business. It is the first time I feel my self-worth and that I have something to bring to the world. I'd love to help you do the same.

Luke Tyler
Music Producer, Community Lead
"I want to thank Kevon for introducing me to the idea of building in public. It has helped me to be open, authentic, and to share knowledge and experience.""I’d recommend Kevon’s course to anyone who 'feels the fear' but still has a burning desire to create."
Melvin Varghese, PhD
Podcaster, Psychologist, Course Creator
"The thought of being so transparent just felt really overwhelming.""My favorite part of being in the cohort was 1) the awesome people that you get to meet and 2) the different frameworks and tools that Kevon uses to Build in Public.""Kevon is awesome. Good person and great heart. He'll gently guide you but also push you a little bit."
What students said
Eddie Bockelman
Entrepreneur, Creator, 12k Twitter Followers
"A year ago, I wanted to build an audience on Twitter but I didn't know where to start. I'm so glad I found Kevon. He's incredibly insightful and able to break down what works so that it's easy to understand. I'm now able to understand and use authenticity and relatability to involve my audience."
Jennifer Newcomb
Writer, Author of 4 Books
"I initially struggled with overthinking and putting too much pressure on myself while sharing on Twitter. The course was an eye-opening experience to just be me, show up authentically, and make equal, respectful, and friendly connections. There was a real emphasis on trusting yourself and humanizing other people, which has really improved how I show up."
Maitry Vaghela
Fitness Startup Founder
"I’d like to thank Kevon for putting this incredible course together. It’s transformed the way I think of my personal brand and audience building. It makes sense to me as when I look at my real-life interactions, I naturally gravitate to people who I perceive as ‘authentic’, and online is no different."
Miguel Espinoza
Developer, Indie Hacker
"As an indie hacker, I knew the importance about building an audience & sharing your voice, yet it felt like I was climbing a mountain. With Kevon’s advice and tactics, it made me feel comfortable about just being me, confident in what I had to say, and just being more open and authentic."
Meera Datey
Web Developer, Founder
"I always wanted to find my voice. I had many scattered thoughts and lacked focus. Kevon’s framework helped me discover myself. In a few weeks, I made more progress than I would have in a year's time. Another benefit of the course is the supportive cohort members, each bringing in a valuable perspective."
Mike Cardona
Digital Marketing Entrepreneur, Newsletter Creator
"Kevon’s expertise, wisdom, and insight are incredible. I learned, and it reminded me of things I can and should do to grow and engage my audience during the course. From day one, the odds will be in your favor. It was very actionable, but also very insightful at the same time - I loved it."
Freeze
Engineer, Creator
"I was feeling lost and had no sense of direction while navigating Twitter. There were people I aspired to be on the platform and I wanted to showcase my personality as freely as they did but I was shy.""I’m surprised at how the course improved my overall self-expression online. As an introvert, I had a hard time sharing or even making friends online. It’s very interesting that I went from the quietest person in the room to someone who volunteered to share after the breakout sessions."

Hey, Kevon here 👋
For the first 8 years of my career, I was a hard worker. I dedicated all my time to the companies I was working for or co-creating. When the last company didn't work out, I thought to myself "Dang! I'm still a nobody."At the same time, my first child was coming along. I started rethinking how work and family fit into my life. I wanted a family-oriented life with more time and flexibility.From that day onwards, I knew I had to build myself a presence and a voice online and then grow a sustainable business with them. But, I had no idea how to start and get people to notice me.So I started documenting my journey, sharing my learnings, and telling people what I was working on Twitter. It was slow at first because I had no followers. Then my Twitter followers, newsletter subscribers, and website visitors all started to go up! People resonated with what I shared and I met a lot of amazing people.That's when I first realized the power and potential of Building in Public!I’m here to show you the way so you and I can both live the life we want.
Live Cohorts & Hot Seat Sessions
I don’t believe in just giving you all the videos and articles and let you figure out the rest alone. When I see students go from
insecure and lost → confident and expressive
I know a live cohort is the key to helping you grow.
Our next live cohort <BIPM5> is Oct 17 - Nov 4, 2022.
FAQ 💭
Is this course only for Twitter? Will I get followers in 3 weeks?
Most of the techniques and examples are Twitter-oriented, but the general concepts are applicable across social media platforms like LinkedIn.Audience building requires commitment. This course covers all the major things you need to know to grow your following, but I can't guarantee that you'll gain lots of followers and engagement quickly.
When does the next cohort start?
When you enroll, you get instant access to our library of resources. Then you can join the next cohort starting on Monday, June 13 until Friday, July 1, 2022.
What time are the live sessions during 3-week cohort?
A total of 6 live Zoom activity-based workshops happen Tuesday & Thursday each week at 8:00PST / 11:00ET / 15:00GMT / 23:00GMT+8.We also have orientation (June 10 8:00PST) and graduation (Jul 1 8:00PST).
What if I cannot attend the cohort or any of the live workshops?
This course is designed so that you can go through the curriculum at your own pace.The live cohort with workshops is an enhancement because we know a community-oriented learning experience is a key to shaping your build in public mindset.But don't worry, all live sessions are recorded and uploaded within 24 hours.
How many hours per week should I expect to commit to the course?
Outside of live cohort, you can decide on your own pace. My recommendation is at least 3 hours per week.During the live cohort, a total of 3-4 hours for live workshops plus another 4-12 hours depending on your commitment level.The more you do, the deeper you go, and the more you get out of it.
Do you offer any discount?
I understand the price might not be affordable for everyone. I am offering scholarships to people worldwide, so email me at kevon@publiclab.co and I'll be happy to share the application with you.

Why did I write this book?
I’ve met and helped so many entrepreneurs and one thing that keeps coming back to me is how chaotic Twitter is to every beginner. Everyone knows Twitter is powerful but not many manage to fight past the early days of noisiness, self-doubt, and exhaustion.Yes, it requires time and effort to build an active presence on Twitter. But it can be joyful and rewarding. I use Twitter to my own rhythm. I can add value to people’s lives. I can take breaks from it and not feel guilty. And I make amazing friends worldwide. This should be an experience for everyone.So this book is a culmination of the steps I took myself plus all the important lessons I’ve shared with hundreds of other entrepreneurs. I want to bring more people to this corner of Twitter.
