First off, I do NOT claim to be a Twitter growth expert, Iāll leave that up to @CMillerTalks
But I do feel like I have some solid information that could help YOU grow your account!
With that being said, it will take WORK
But with great work, can come great rewards

NOTE: There are many niches on Twitter, and this thread will be focused on Money accounts
However, I believe the lessons can be relevant to any niche on Twitter!

The biggest thing on Twitter is...
VALUE
Your tweets/comments/replies must be providing VALUE
If you donāt provide value, people wonāt want to follow you

Think of it like this:
You buy products that provide VALUE to you...
SO
For someone to follow you, 99% of the time, it will be because you provided value to their feed!
Essentially, you are āsellingā your profile to the ābuyerā (potential follower)

When it comes to providing VALUE, there are 4 avenues to do so
1. Tweeting
2. Quoted Tweet (QT)
3. Replies
4. Retweets
Using all 4 of these, you extend your ability to provide VALUE which = growth!

1. The coveted Tweet
This is where YOU get to voice your opinions
This is where YOU get to be the āsellerā of your page
This is where YOU get to put out your content!

For me, I come up with my tweets a few different ways
They can come from my personal reading and studies!
They can come from my personal life and personal portfolio that I share!
OR
They are things that I wish I had heard when I started investing!

To be honest, you will have tweets that you think up and believe they will do really well
And they might be a flop
BUT
You must keep tweeting... you must keep refining your tweets
Find out what works best for you and gets a good response, and keep doing that!

Also, it doesnāt matter how many followers you have, it is imperative to tweet your own content
I was in your spot.. less than 100 followers, getting ZERO engagement on my tweets
HOWEVER
You still must be putting out your own content... āsellā your page to potential followers!

The rule here is this:
DO NOT COPY OTHERS TWEETS
If you do, Money Twitter will call you out
AND
@EDGcoach will make a video on you explaining how to come up with original content

2. Quoted Tweet (QT)
Say you are scrolling down your feed and you see a post by @HeroDividend or @DivBabySteps
You want your followers to see but you want to add more VALUE
You can do a QT so not only do your followers see what you said, they see what the author said!

post by @HeroDividend or @DivBabySteps You want your followers to see but you want to add more VALUE
You can do a QT so not only do your followers see what you said, they see what the author said!
The QT serves two purposes
1. Ability to provide VALUE to a great post
But more importantly,
2. The possibility of a RT from that account
If you provide enough VALUE and the original author likes it, they may repost it
This means more eyes on your account!

3. Replies
This is where I put in A TON of work early on
Nearly every post I saw on my feed I was replying too
But it wasnāt a āNice!ā or a ā
ā
It was another opportunity to provide VALUE
This can lead to more eyes on your account, as it is under the main post!

Replies can lead to a conversation with the author, which means more eyes 
OR
It, too, can be reposted by the author, which can lead more eyes

4. The Retweet (RT)
Do not sleep on retweets
Yes, they donāt necessarily get the eyes on your account that you are looking for
BUT
You canāt forget your current followers, so if the post is VALUABLE, give it a RT... your followers will thank you!
Always provide VALUE

Now Iāve said this before, and Iāll say it again
Iām not sure if I was the pioneer on this (probably not!)
But here is how I am quick to reply on big accounts in my niche...
I turn on their alerts so I am notified when they tweet

If their post is relevant to my audience, I can either
1. Quote
2. Reply
3. Retweet
W/ VALUE
If you are one of the first accounts to engage, then you have a better chance of being seen by the big account
Which means, possible RT or reply from them
Which means more

So we covered the tweets, but what about when someone clicks your profile?
Remember, you are essentially āsellingā your profile to the potential follower
SO
Make sure your profile reflects a good āproductā

Iāve seen both anonymous and actual photos do well for pictures
So I canāt say which is best
Iāve been a picture of me since like less than 500 followers, but I have also seen money accounts do well with anonymous pictures too!

Your header:
Itās imperative to have a good looking header... I have to thank @GrowthGrounds for helping me there early on!
Make sure your header is a quick glance on what the potential follower can expect to see when they follow you!

Notice how mine says:
āInvesting with a long term mindset in a short term worldā
Everyone knows exactly what they are getting
An account that talks about long term investing

The Bio:
Your bio is your elevator pitch
The potential follower looks at your header, is intrigued, so they will read your bio
This is where you āsellā your page to them
Tell them in a concise, yet informative way what to expect
Letās do a breakdown of mine!

My first line āAll things long term investingā
If someone is a long term investor, or is interested in investing, this captures their attention
Then I repeat my header line... I want to keep that message fresh in their mind

To be honest, I struggled with putting my age
However, after a great conversation with @chadaunderwood, we came to the conclusion that my mission is mainly to help others my age understand the importance of investing young

So I decided to keep ā22ā
That definitely could turn people away
They could think āWhat does a 22 year old know about investingā
And to be honest, not everyone will follow you anyways
So once your find your mission with your account, make sure itās known!

Then, I put my dividend portfolio value
It was important for me, because Iāve seen a lot of people get anxious about investing because they only see people with $100,000+ in their accounts
I wanted to relate to them and show that I am building a new portfolio, just like them!

This could turn people away too..
āWhat does a person with only $9,000 in their account now about investing?ā
Again, that isnāt the full picture on my NW, but if they are worried about that, then I wouldnāt want them to follow me anyways

And lastly, I put āfollow me on my journey

Thanks for the idea @tyromper !!
This is a CTA (call to action) for the potential follower to want to follow my journey!
Get them to hit that follow button!

So your bio is a place to briefly explain what the potential follower can expect when following you
Itās ok if your mission on Twitter turns people away from following you!
It is YOUR mission!
Just like my age and portfolio value, it may turn people away but itās my MISSION!

As for that, the biggest thing is VALUE
I have said it a lot on this thread, make sure you are providing VALUE to your ācustomersā
And
Be yourself!
At first, I didnāt tweet much outside of money and investing
But...

Another help in my growth was engagement groups
Connecting with a group of accounts, and working together to help each other grow!
Donāt be afraid to reach out to similar sized groups and interact with each otherās posts!
This means more eyes

Okay, I think itās time to close this down
I know this thread is about followers
BUT
Donāt stress about growing
If your are here to have a lot of followers, youāll burn out quickly
I came here to help spread the goodness of investing, the follower count doesnāt matter

So if you are growing slow, donāt sweat it
Just keep working on proving VALUE to your current followers
Engaging, replying, connecting in the DMs
The rest will fall into place
Remember why you started your account in the first place
