I just crossed 80,000 followers on Twitter in under 2 years
But if I got banned tomorrow, here's what I'd do to get it all back (in half the time):

1. Just write threads
I bought dozens of growth guides and paid thousands in coaching just to realize that to grow an audience you just need to write good stuff. And write it often.
Here are some thread topics that might help:

2. Give for free what others charge for
We focus on too much on tips and tricks and don't pause to wonder "is our stuff actually good?"
If you give for free what others charge for they'll be thankful and glad to refer you to others
Word of mouth is the best salesman

3. Get attention with open platforms, then capture it with closed platforms
Twitter followers are great but they don't belong to you.
Write the best content, then ask them to join your email list or join your community
This will make it easier to monetize later on as well

4. Competence attracts luck
Everyone wants to be friends with the cool guy.
And the easiest way to be the cool guy is prove that you're good at solving a problem over and over. So when people encounter that same problem they'll come looking for you.

5. Forget follower count. Leverage and money are the real metrics.
Followers and engagement are visible metrics. Leverage and money are invisible metrics.
You want to optimize for the invisible and the visible takes care of itself.

6. Find signal, then double down on signal
When I started posting my drawings I noticed they had better engagement than most tweets.
Then I just put it together in a thread and went nuts.
Find what works, then market the hell out of it.

7. Be known for 1-3 things
My mistake was talking about so many different things instead of just 1-3.
Be known for 1-3 things. You'll create a personal monopoly and increase your engagement.

8. Overwhelm the algo
When Kanye said "5 beats a day for 3 summers. There shouldn't be a way for me to lose really" he gave you the best audience building advice ever
Just tweet more. Give Twitter no option but to put your content up. Then double down on what works.

9. Don't screw anyone over
You could ruin the brand that took you years to build with one unethical move
If you have to choose your reputation over money, choose your reputation
You can't get trust back. But you can always make more money.

10. Show personality in comments
Personal brands need personality. Show your personality and joke around in the comments.
This will give your brand depth and relatability. Both great things to have.
