I grew from 700 to 15K followers in 9 months.
Here are 12 reasons why I think that happened (and how you can do it faster):
Here are 12 reasons why I think that happened (and how you can do it faster):
Reason:
I built good relationships
Example:
Actively engaged with small and big accounts in their replies, and moved the conversations to DMs when possible.
What You Can Implement:
Spend at least 50% of your time replying and DMing, not just creating and scrolling.

Reason:
I wrote about simple ideas
Example:
I stuck to really simple ideas and formats around marketing, product launches, and modern work
What You Can Implement:
Write your tweets to be easily understood by a 10-year-old and use simple formatting.

Reason:
I got lucky multiple times
Example:
I had a few tweets really take off (Who would you most want to follow you, CopyAI announcement).
What You Can Implement:
Be a good person. Create and engage. Luck will come to you eventually.

Reason:
I involved the community
Example:
I invited y'all to help me pick brand colors, fonts, copy, etc. I tried to give you a voice in my own tweets.
What You Can Implement:
Don't just give commands and advice on Twitter. Bring other people up on stage!

Reason:
I stayed (pretty) consistent
Example:
I've tweeted multiple times almost every single day for 9 months. Even when I didn't want to and things weren't working.
What You Can Implement:
Set a goal for yourself. Let the quantity of your work lead to quality of work.

Reason:
I wasn't scared of failing
Example:
I launched products that flopped. I learned from the losses and added them to the wins.
What You Can Implement:
Ship things. Make content. Build products. You either make money and get followers, or you gain wisdom for next time.

Reason:
I gathered experience
Example:
I spent 7 years learning from the ground up and took notes along the way. Then I shared it.
What You Can Implement:
Take notes on your learnings. Know your 2-3 core topics and talking points. Then share every last bit of it.

Reason:
I interviewed great people
Example:
I started a podcast to learn from great audience builders. I asked them questions I wanted answers to.
What You Can Implement:
Start meeting with people on Zoom. Record your conversations. Learn from them. And do what they say.

Reason:
I used mystery
Example:
I shared high-value content, but only gave them away in DMs. This created intrigue.
What You Can Implement:
Make a lead magnet. Tweet about it and say "If you want it, comment below and I'll DM it to you." Then start a chat in the DMs.

Reason:
I began focusing more
Example:
I shifted from making content on LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, Podcast, TikTok, etc. to just Twitter and Podcast.
What You Can Implement:
If you are just starting, focus on one platform and go all in. Expand when you have an audience.

Reason:
I joined a hot company
Example:
I joined @copy_ai as CMO in February. The company is very popular on Twitter, and that gave me a boost.
What You Can Implement:
This path isn't for everyone. If it is for you, try it out!

What You Can Implement:
Don't just think of ideas. Bring them to life. The community will back you 100%.
