I started 2022 with 3 Twitter followers.
Here's what I did to end the year with 50,688 new followers: π§΅π§΅

π Positioning
Your profile is your landing page.
Most creators gain few followers because they look more like consumers β and not creators.
So I fixed mine to look like who I want to attract.
Here's mine (at the time of writing):

Here's mine (at the time of writing):
π Leveraged larger audiences
Most creators start by tweeting 10x per day. Dumb move.
I had 3 followers. I needed more eyes on my brand. And fast.
I stole those eyes by:
β’ commenting on large accounts with my target audience
β’ inviting bigger accounts to Twitter spaces

π Educated my audience
People follow those who give them a reason to (who give value).
So I became the guy who shows up everyday giving it to them (at 0 cost).
I shared:
- Actionable tips
- Inspirational content
- Sometimes⦠Entertainment
All via Tweets, threads & spaces.

π Telling a story
Most creators are basically "Glorified search engines."
Building an audience isn't 100% about βgiving adviceβ. Its also about sharing more about yourself.
β’ Share your wins
β’ List out your mistakes
This makes you hard to forget.

π Taking inspiration
Success leaves clues. Why create from the void when you can model?
In the last 90 days, I took content inspirations from:
- @thedankoe
- @thejustinwelsh
- @ItsKieranDrew
- @thatroblennon
As for tools, I used @TryPostwise a lot.
Check them all out.

π Nurture my audience
Aside stories, I took extra steps here.
β’ Asking my followers for their POVs
β’ Inviting space listeners to speak
β’ Hopping on calls with creators
β’ Responding to messages
β’ Replying comments
Reason?
People are attracted to creators who care.

π Solid Relationships
This is cliche for a solid reason.
Over the last 6 months, these minds taught me solid growth and/or life tips:
@thejulieahrens
@TanmayS_Chauhan
@ericasmyname
@thesyedhuq
@sulaiman_botha
@ItsKieranDrew
@giannicara
@abrahamcslls
..amongst others.

π Eliminated what didn't work
Some Twitter growth advice might not work for you (including this one).
This is where your experience shines:
Observe.
Imitate.
Test.
Iterate.
Repeat.
Lean into actions that give high returns and eliminate the others.

π Consistency
Before 2022, Iβd never created daily content on social media.
It was normal to suck.
And boy did I suck!
But over time, my writing got better.
And now 50,000+ people are proof of it. Keep going, creator!

The 9 steps I took from 3 to 50.6k followers in 365 days:
β’ Fixed my positioning

β’ Educated my audience
β’ Told a story
β’ Took Inspiration
β’ Nurtured my audience
β’ Created Relationships
β’ Eliminated defects
β’ Consistency
I hope this helps.

If this made an atom of sense to you:
1. Consider following the nerd who made it happen (@francis_oleh)
2. Share the thread your friends.
3. Implement it and have a great day!
