15 one-sentence tips to grow your Twitter audience faster 🚀
Hey Product Hunters 👋
We all know that building audience and community is a superpower. Building a personal brand also pays off: more people support you during the launch, you can easily find beta testers, and validate new ideas.
I went from 0 to 4300 followers on Twitter in 4 months. Here're 15 one-sentence tips:
🥚 0-100 followers
1. Use DM to find like-minded people.
2. Treat your Twitter account like a product: set up a value proposition, tone of voice, and "competitor analysis."
3. Set daily targets on posts and replies (ex. 3 posts, 30 replies).
🐣 100-1000 followers
4. Make weekly content planning.
5. Experiment a lot.
6. Get inspired by new Tweet formats from influencers.
7. Re-use content: 1 thread can be divided into 10 1-liners.
8. Don't be disappointed with low engagement, it happens even with big accounts.
9. Engage with big accounts right after they post smth (Notify button will help 🔔)
🐥 1000+ followers
10. If you want a loyal and active audience, respond to comments (not only with GIFs haha).
11. Be a human, with all this AI flex, people want more life content.
12. Don't post just theory, post your experience and examples. #buildinpublic
13. Analyze what content works better for you and double down on it.
14. Try to go viral: analyze viral content examples and implement them.
15. Experiment with your bio because the conversion from visitor to follower highly depends on it.

Thanks Sveta. Great and honest tips!
May I add - 'Do not write 10 websites that are illegal to know' kind of thread?😂

My best tip — don't take audience building too seriously.
it should be fun and satisfying not routine and irritating
It's great to see how you and Dan repurpose the content across multiple channels and use the power of two to win!
@swapdp_01 Thank you, Swapnil!
I believe that creating great content and focus on distribution is much better than creating so-so content, but unique for each platform 🤔

Are you Dan? 😏
We're in the process of building ours, our main takeaway is to have fun with it and create engaging content! Check us out here https://twitter.com/RECRDAPP
Great tips @basv. I wonder if the same applies to growing a company twitter account... My experience so far's showing that it's more difficult to build followers and engagement there compared to a personal account. Thoughts?
@maria_hayat The most of points are applicable. But your target must be to grow a community around corporate Twitter account. It's not that easy, but it can be done!
Here's a great example 😊

Hi @basv, thanks for sharing this with us all.
What do you DM to your new followers?
How did you find your niche?
Thank you for sharing these, Sveta. I have just started building on Twitter and hope these will prove helpful.
I noticed that it was very difficult for me to stay consistent with regular posting. At some point, I felt like I was recycling generic content ("Happy weekend, all!"). No real added value.
What would you suggest for someone in that situation?
@toolboxofdesign Creating a content matrix and come up with your value proposition 👀
Here're more tips on it https://blog.makerbox.club/1000-...
Strive for clarity and consistency in every facet
-in your identity
-in your message
-in your visuals
-in the way you tell your stories
-in the way you relate with your audience
People might not have time to visit your landing page or web
They are making decisions on the go.
@basv This is super useful.
Was exactly looking for something like this: https://www.producthunt.com/disc...
@basv totally !
I will look up your past posts, as well.
It would also be great if can you share some more of your past posts?tweets (if there are any) on - Twitter audience growth & community building?
Just discovered makerbox.club ! What you and @kronop are building is simply amazing - many platforms solve for product build, only a few solve for distribution.
More power to you 💪
Thank you for valuable tips! I'm building MVP of my startup Petgotchi - A mobile game app which will be released on Jan 2023. At the moment, I'm focusing on content and community on Twitter. It helps me a lot!
Thanks for helpful tips sveta! As someone just reaching 200 followers, I think your advice will really help me plan my way to reaching 1000.
Nice guide Sveta, thanks for sharing!
I also recommend checking https://app.hypefury.com/. Amazing app for twitter content planning.
The main question: do you see the conversion of Twitter followers to customers?
Many people said it's not always working.
That's amazing. Thanks for sharing such great insights! I am a newbie there. This is definitely going to help me!👍
Great points - I'm planning to build Twitter community and I have just started. Already planned contents for a month. Let's see how it goes.
Great list @basv
I already follow a few for one of my clients.
Nice to have a few more ideas for upping my Twitter game.
Bookmarking this. Nice tips. Something I've seen work is to seem real throughout. Humanise your account and the engagement increases.
That's great advice, thanks a lot! And congratulations on your achievement!
It's very relevant to classify by current audience size indeed! I'd add that it depends on whether your account is a corporate or a personal one ;-)
Personally I really adhere to 12. And I'd add polls. They are great to implement the humanness AND interactivity with your audience, it's a good way to engage conversations about a topic you wanted to bring out. And once the poll is closed, you can RT by summarizing the main outcome and putting that in perspective :-)
Thanks for sharing these valuable tips will definitely try to implement them.
I too started my journey on Twitter sometime back but always struggled with content, seems like can't think of what to write. Over a period of time, this broke my plans and discipline.
@rachit_nigam try to make a content matrix, it'll become easier and then transform into a habit. Good luck!
