Since September 2023, I have been using 9 X ranking hacks i.e. guarded secrets that have been shared on GitHub!
If you want to unlock them, read this:
1. Optimize your profile
- Subscribe to X blue
- Upload your headshot
- Create a nice cover
- Link your landing page(s) in bio (don't link your X business account)
2. Followers/Following Ratio
- X’s recommendation algo depends on users’ behavioral history.
- Unfollow anyone who doesn't follow you.
- Unfollow people who don't post in your niche.
- Follow accounts with a low following and a higher number of followers.
3. Engaging with others
- Create a list of your followers who engage with you.
- Create a list of accounts of your size that post content daily.
- Create a list of big accounts and engage with them.
- Engage less with new accounts.
4. Time allocation (30-40 minutes daily)
- Spend 30% of your time creating content
- Spend 20% of your time replying to big accounts
- Spend 20 % of your time replying to your followers
- Spend 30% of your time replying to notifications
- In general, give more & take less
5. Visual Content
- When possible include images or videos.
- Before uploading media, rename the files and include keywords.
- If you are posting for startup founders, the file name should include such keywords.
- Preferably the content should show numbers.
6. Post Structure
- Use slippery slide (keep your readers' attention and successfully slide them down to the end)
- Write briefly
- Don’t forget to include a few keywords in your copy
- Write around 1 topic you are passionate about.
- Be authentic and share your perspective.
7. Links & hashtags
- External links will shadow ban your post
- Include links in the comments section only
- Use just only 1 hashtag max to train the algorithm to recognize your content easily and show to the intended audience.
- E.g. I use "buildinpublic" frequently.
8. The first 1 hour after posting
- Don't engage with other accounts' posts for 3 hours before and after posting; Otherwise, your impressions will be divided.
- After posting, reply to your commenters
- Add gifs, images or long-form comments.
9. The next 24 hours after posting
- If the post is performing great, don’t publish anything within 24 hours; Otherwise, the algorithm will de-rank your post.
- The minimum delay between posts should be 6 hours.
