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. Try to implement at least 1 advice today and see how it's going 👀 Do you have any tips to add? 🤔 ________________ If you want to learn more, here's the article about growing from 0 to 1000 in 50 days based on my experience https://blog.makerbox.club/1000-...

@alessmkl yeah, without fun growing on Twitter is not cool
Dan Kulkov
My best tip — don't take audience building too seriously. it should be fun and satisfying not routine and irritating
Sveta Bay
@kronop nice tip! The question is - was it fun for you in the beginning? (while small audience & low impressions)?
Sanat Mohanty
@kronop @basv would love to hear your audience build process ? :)
Stefan Wirth
@kronop > not routine and irritating Every time I see your face blyatch
Swapnil D Puranik
It's great to see how you and Dan repurpose the content across multiple channels and use the power of two to win!
Sveta Bay
@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 🤔
Maria Hayat
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?
Sveta Bay
@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 😊 https://twitter.com/AaplyHQ

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.
Sveta Bay
@rachit_nigam try to make a content matrix, it'll become easier and then transform into a habit. Good luck!
Rachit Nigam
@basv Thanks for the advice, will definitely restart

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

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?

When starting your Twitter account would you rather (create and) use: 1) your private account (e.g., "sveta"), 2) a "second" private account (e.g., "sveta2" or "sveta_makerbox"), 3) a fake private account (e.g., "svetlana99"), or 4) a company account (e.g., "makerbox") Using a private account might be problematic when tweeting private stuff or when you quit your job and move to (or start) another company. Using a fake or company account might be to anonymous and you loose the reach when starting a new job. What do you think? Or are there other alternatives?

Hi Sveta, I messaged you on Twitter. Waiting for your reply...... :)

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.
Sveta Bay
@guar47 Yeah, I'm planning to try more Twitter tools. Thanks for sharing 😊 Yeah, Twitter works great. It's our Top-2 source of traffic.
