What I gained from learning Twitter Game?
My observations and points I am going to follow to get to 5K next.
A THREAD
All this started with me getting to know very interesting people on twitter like @shl, @david_perell and @dvassallo.
I used to be an active observer on Twitter last year but never took action to grow my own twitter.
I used to be an active observer on Twitter last year but never took action to grow my own twitter.
With COVID, @hellomeets moved online and I had the opportunity to invite all the people I like on twitter as speakers to our meetups and get the exciting learnings I was getting to the community.
So I decided to become active here. Now it& #39;s my only hangout place.

5 points on How I started building my own twitter?
1) I started writing some short posts on my medium and sharing the tweet threads here.
This was in May. I was naive with ideas :)

Note: You need to have a purpose to grow your twitter and build relationships.
People help those who help themselves.
Consistent work helps in gaining attention and yes from people.

3) I keep engaging with like-minded people here.
Add some value to their posts and keep talking.

4) Now I also do weekly one on one hangouts with interesting people from twitter. I say hello, pitch and share my calenday link with them requesting for a quick 10 mins catch.
It really works, people are mostly nice and it helps in building deeper relations.

5) I still keep posting threads and share learnings from books I am reading, HelloMeets and more.
So this is what I did to get to 2207.https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🎉" title="Partyknaller" aria-label="Emoji: Partyknaller">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🍾" title="Flasche mit knallendem Korken" aria-label="Emoji: Flasche mit knallendem Korken">
So this is what I did to get to 2207.
Now here is what I think works? and what I need to improve?
1) People should be clear about, "Why should they follow you?", "What will they get?"
I recently changed my bio on twitter to
"Get to discover the most interesting startup people on my feed."

I also had a pinned story on "4 years of @hellomeets" and people used to keep liking it, I had posted it on top to gain trust, I have been working on it for 4 yearshttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😀" title="Grinsendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Grinsendes Gesicht">
I have seen this, people love to help consistent people as they know they help time will multiple.

People should know what it does so that all like minded people get attracted to use it.
I will again put some pinned tweets around my new pitch and focus.

2) Now, I will be weekly tweeting about the interesting startup people, what makes them interesting & what can you gain from following them.
- People who I hangout with
- People who speak @hellomeets
- People I discover on podcasts & through books

3) I will be doubling on sharing content which aligns with my pitch, doing more hangouts with people here, getting more people to @hellomeets & adding more value to others tweet discussions and questions.
Hope this post helps people who are where I was at the beginning of Summer
