2/ There are two archetypes of Tweets that get people to Retweet
• Reference tweets = Followers and Retweets
• Knowledge bombs = Retweets
• Reference tweets = Followers and Retweets
• Knowledge bombs = Retweets
3/ Reference Tweets - These will get you followers
EX. "If you do the following 5 things, you& #39;ll be more successful in business"
People RT these to add them to their feed for reference later.
These drive followers because people think, "I want more of that"

4/ Knowledge bombs - Retweets
When you eloquently explain something everyone is thinking but no one can say. (Most of @naval)
These will drive RTs, but not necessarily followers because it& #39;s a one-off.

5/ The *best* way to gain followers is through Tweet storms.
Search Hacker News or Reddit for opinions you feel strongly towards or are passionate about.
When you find one, write a tweet storm agreeing or disagreeing with that opinion

6/ Example Tweet Storm
• Everyone on Reddit is saying Growth Marketers need to do X
• You think growth marketers need to do Y
Tweet:
" Everyone thinks Growth Marketers need to do X.
In reality, they need to do Y."
Write a thread explaining why or end it with a zinger

7/ Twitter isn& #39;t a firehouse. Don& #39;t treat it like one.
You want to Tweet ~8:50 AM PST and 8:00 PM PST
All great accounts spend ~30 min/Tweet and Tweet 2x a day.

8/ Use the algorithm
The algorithm will lift Tweets that have a ratio of 10 - 25% retweets to impressions.
It will also lift Tweets that use keywords (VC, startup, crytpo). Google, "Twitter following topics" and use those effectively.
