Today I& #39;m sharing some stats about some experiments that increase my Twitter follow count.

I ended up with +50% more followers with:

- 20 minutes of daily work.
- 3 weeks.

So here are the actions (and failures) I did. I call it “net fishing” https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎣" title="Angelrute und Fisch" aria-label="Emoji: Angelrute und Fisch"> https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten">
1/ Net fishing is all about:

- Keeping your feed clean.
- Focus on accounts with the same followers you want.

I& #39;ll explain later why get rid of everyone that is not talking about similar topics you write.
2/ Now let& #39;s say you have 200 followers and you create an excellent tweet.

You’ll get around:

+200 impressions, some more if you get a retweet.
3/ Imagine your tweet has 20% of engagement.

That’s 40 people that already follow you interacting with your tweet.

So this translates to few new followers.
4/ A big account retweeting you is a good miracle.

But miracles are rare, we can’t wait to be lucky.

So let& #39;s take action.
5/ I unfollowed accounts that don& #39;t belong to my target audience.

Keeping my feed clean is key to interacting with people that have the same followers as you want.

This might seem unnecessary, but it makes a difference between investing time on Twitter instead of wasting it.
6/ Start following the big ones.

You will need to find big accounts that have a message similar to yours.

Later we will catch those juicy followers that are consuming the content you produce.
7/ Here’s the best part.

I lost my fear of interacting with people with lots of followers.

But I learned to interact only if I have something to say to add value.

If you don& #39;t add up you will get 0 engagements.
8/ Here’s an example from a reply to @GoodMarketingHQ:

+4.4k impressions
1.8% engagement

That’s around 80 people that don& #39;t know me and now they have a chance to do so.

9/ He answered with a funny gif and that probably increased my reply impressions.

Humor and catchy words drag people to you.

Be creative.
10/ The important thing here is that they are not part of my followers.

So you can bring new ones to your side.

Net fishing is acting here.
11/ Here’s another example from a reply to @MengTo:

+2.5k impressions
1.4% engagement

He answered mentioning the creator of the resources he was using.

That brought more attention to my reply too.

12/ I& #39;m polishing techniques to stop using Twitter as a consumer and become a producer.

This thread is an extract of the ebook.

14/ Bonus!

Through my journey, I discovered some hide gems with less than 1k followers worth to follow.
