Read on Twitter
6 months ago I decided to completely ignore the way Twitter Growth is supposed to work.
- A very short thread-
Streamers who are “good at Twitter” teach ways to grow here and I said ‘fuck that’. Because I noticed they have HUGE numbers here but shit Twitch channels. 1/7

They always said “grow here and get some people to Twitch” but then looking at their numbers I realized quickly that the transfer % was pathetic. They said “ask questions to get responses and work the algorithm”. Others would tweet stupid shit and go viral. But they were 2/7
all the same. “Delete your weak tweets for brands to see your strength”. Things like that. Massive work pumped into Twitter... which makes no money... and very very little growth on their dream platform.
So I changed everything.
I realized Twitter can be used a better way. 3/7

6 months ago I decided I wouldn’t farm followers on Twitter. I would make my time line things that my Twitch followers would want to look at. Music, upcoming games, deep thoughts on tough subjects, my animals, my kid, shitposts. Twitter became fun for me and for them. 4/7
Viewers began to follow each stream. And interesting people... musicians, amazing game devs, meme lads all started following me. People who don’t give a shit about what “streamers who are good at Twitter” post. I broke free of streamer twitter. Not only that but 5/7
my tweets get a shit ton more interaction from people who aren’t trying to use me to grow their stream. Even better a lot of those people have become friends which ironically has grown my stream, and given me access to people who are influential in the industry I work. 6/7
In short: the people who make Twitter Tips Videos know how to grow a twitter... but it’s not the way that actually helped my job. More importantly it wasn’t the way that added value to my life and let me add value to others.
Fuck those guys.
My way and my Twitter is better. 7/7
