Here's a FREE mini-course on how I grew from 0-4,000 followers in less than a year! ππ
This is not "guru" advice with an up-sell at the end, it's just to show that growing on twitter isn't rocket-science π
(It's not your typical success thread)

I decided itβs something I could be passionate about. Period.
Too many times I see people try their hand at something only because they think it will make them a lot of money, but they really hate their lives while doing it π€¨π

Twitter is something that I knew would not make me rich, but I saw it as an opportunity to network with other founders and help inspire others.
If you're not interested in meeting people and helping others and just want a big following, please don't read on. π

I started researching & posting content I found helpful to MY OWN startup journey.
NEWS FLASH: most people arenβt posting about things that have never been said before π
All Iβve done is read articles, listen to podcasts, follow other founders, etc. to share with you β₯οΈπ

Some people think you have to be the smartest, most articulate, good-looking person in the world in order to grow a Twitter account. Not true.
Just post regularly about things that resonate with you and build a following around that. π

I decided on ONE niche: startups.
As mentioned, you'll build an audience around the topic you post most about. If you post about 5 random topics, you'll confuse people and won't retain a following. π

Schedule out posts. There's no reason to be consumed every day trying to think of helpful content. Spend an hour or two each week (or month) and plan out your content.
Run 2-3 posts per day.
(It helps if you've been keeping notes throughout the month on what to post)π

I actually talked to my followers and have been genuinely interested at what they're working on.
This takes time. It's not going to be profitable in the short-to-mid-term future, but it fuels your passion if you've built a following around the niche you're interested in π

Don't engage through autoresponders, spammy comments, or with the intent to sell things π«
It's annoying and people see right through it.
It helped that my startup isn't relevant to most people that follow me, but even if yours is, don't use Twitter solely to advertiseπ

I obviously still don't have a large following, but it's growing little by little.
As I've grown, people have continued to engage, retweet, DM'd me asking for advice, etc.
You will turn into someone who people go to, but make sure to always tell them you're learning too π

People respect and are attracted to people that are down to earth and helpful.
Sure you may be more profitable in the short-term by spamming and selling, but in the long-run you will make more friends, live a happier life, and actually be more profitable if you're genuineπ
