How to add 5,000 Twitter followers in 90 days.
A 4-step playbook anyone can run:
đź§µ
There will be no "hacks" in this thread.
Just proven tactics to pick up the perfect followers for you.
People who:
- You can learn from
- You can network with
- Can be a customer of yours
- You can create or share opportunities with
Here's your plan for the next 90 days:
Day 1: Maximize Your Profile
To begin, it’s critical to understand that you must give people a reason to follow you.
Just Tweeting into the void will do very little if you can’t explicitly state why you’re worth following.
Here’s a great framework for your Twitter profile ↓
1. A catchy moniker: The Diversified Solopreneur (optional)
2. What you’re working on: Building a portfolio of one-person businesses to $5M in revenue.
3. What people can expect when they follow you: Tweets and threads about audience & business growth.
Pair that with a crisp, professional headshot, and create a banner that supports your bio.
You can do that very easily using something like Canva:
Day 1 to 30: Livestream Your Journey
I see too many people on Twitter trying to be funny, witty, or clever.
Does it work for a few accounts? Sure.
Is it the best strategy for most people? Probably not.
Twitter growth is NOT about sharing meaningless platitudes.
Instead, figure out what you’re obsessed with and bring people along on your journey.
Here’s a simple framework:
AM1: Tweet a simple tip that’s easy to implement.
AM2: Tweet a helpful listicle.
PM: Ask a great question.
I use a tool called @hypefury that automatically retweets all of my posts 9 hours later.
This helps double my engagement.
It also automatically un-retweets them 24 hours later to keep my Twitter feed clean.
@hypefury Day 31 to 60: Double Down On Your Best
After 30 days, you’ll have a collection of 90+ Tweets to look back on.
Some of those Tweets will have resonated, while others will be duds.
That’s normal.
Find the Tweets that resonated and double down by turning them into Threads.
@hypefury Since you’ve asked a question each day (the PM Tweet), you can also turn the answers into Tweet threads.
This is a very simple way to get started.
I recommend doing 1 thread per week because they maximize your chances of getting attention from the right types of people,
@hypefury Day 61 to 90: Build Your Ecosystem
If you’re resonating with the right people, you’ll likely have some new followers.
This is a great time to set up a small network of people on the same journey as you.
Note: You can also do this on day one if you’d like!
@hypefury Jeremy Moser nails it with these 3 tips:
@hypefury I use a tool called BlackMagic.so to organize a group of favorite follows, and interact with them easily each day.
By supporting people, I generally earn their support back.
@hypefury TL;DR
Day 1: Maximize your profile: Why should people follow you?
Day 1 to 30: Teach people something every day.
Day 31 to 60: Write 1-2 weekly threads of your best single Tweets.
Day 61 to 90: Build a small network of relevant people and interact daily.
@hypefury That's a wrap!
