11 Deadly mistakes you should avoid to grow 10X faster on Twitter ( and build a 100K audience ) :
1/ Not engaging
Twitter is a platform where you give and take.
But give give give give, and then take.
Engage with other accounts and add more value to their tweets in comments.
Share your thoughts on other account tweets.
They will notice if you regularly engage with at least 10-15 accounts.
I wasted my initial days just focusing on
MY tweets
MY likes
MY comments
It didn't work well.
Engaging with others is the best hack to buy attention.
2/ Not observing top accounts in your niche
I kept thinking about what will work by doing multiple permutations and combinations.
But if you follow top accounts or top tweet format and try to follow them, you succeed much faster.
Bookmark tweets you love and come back to them again when you need inspiration.
The strategies that worked for them will work for you, too.
Learning from successful accounts is the best hack.
3/ Not leveraging DM
I never knew DM could do wonders in building a solid friendship and connection.
I used to approach 0 people in DM when I started my journey.
Today I offer my products for free to many of them in DM.
Remember to GIVE.
Don't ASK first.
Reach to different accounts on Twitter and build relationships with them.
You can support each other this way.
Keep your DM's open; many people have their DM closed.
Closed DM's = Closing door to new opportunities.
4/ Not optimizing the Bio
Bio makes or breaks your profile.
I had added random text that didn't make sense to my audience.
I used to get profile visits but no following.
If you have more profile visits and fewer followers, it's time to A / B test your bio.
5/ Keep posting threads
When I had less than 500 followers, I was posting threads.
But no one will notice it as you don't have much following.
Don't waste time on the thread when your audience is small.
Focus on small tweet formats and add more value to top accounts.
6/ Waiting for tweets to go viral
This is the worst thing you can ever do while growing your audience.
I have gone viral 15+ times till now, and true it brings 1000's followers.
Virality is the outcome you get for quality content.
Focus on content and see the magic.
7/ Having more expectations
I spent hours writing tweets and getting less than ten likes in return.
I kept on expecting too much when I tweeted.
You can never control what will happen next; all you can do is keep posting good content.
Never rely on Twitter algorithms.
8/ Not spending time on Analytics
I used to keep thinking of what to tweet when I already had the analytics to measure.
Follow a simple rule:
DOUBLE down on what's working.
CUT DOWN what isn't.
REPEAT again.
9. Not reusing content
I never used to reuse my content which performed well.
But you can write the same tweet in 100 different ways.
Recycle old content which is 2-3 months older.
80% of them don't remember what you had posted.
Leverage this when you have nothing to post.
10. Not Turning ON Notification Bell
I never knew this was the best hack ever to buy attention.
When a big account posts a tweet or thread, be among the first to add an extra cent to their tweet.
It will bring you more likes.
It will bring you more profile clicks.
11. Not using Twitter List
I never knew how a Twitter list could be helpful.
But then I create a different list for
1. Inspiration accounts list
2. Engagement account list
3. Friends list
I'm 10x more productive now and never miss any amazing tweets.
