Help With Twitter: Lots of Profile Visits, Not Enough Conversions.

Hey all!

For those who have experience growing an account on Twitter: I have been getting quite a few profile visits on my account (around 4k last week), but that is not converting into followers (got 6 new followers on that same period).

I'm rather new to it so I'm guessing that might be one of the reasons (been posting everyday, but not for long). I was wondering if any of you have tips on getting your first Twitter followers (like 0 to 100 or 200). Thanks a lot!

    I used to write threads into the void like you, but few tweaks changed my game. Threads work when there’s an audience, at least of 100 (300) people.

    Quality threads come from quality tweets. Quality tweets come from quality comments.

    Here’s the approach that helped me most:

    1. 20 comments every day (best for early growth)
    2. 10 DM every day (close relationships is all)
    3. 4 tweets a day (I use feedhive for scheduling)
    4. 1 great thread every week. Spend 90% of time on the hook.

    Pick 10 topics you want to speak about. Tweet them until you hit 10k followers and then cut to 3 topics that work best.

    If you do 1-3, you’ll grow fastest.

    P.s. Notifications on big accounts help to tweet first; always tweet quality comments, “good idea!” won’t get you visits; show up every day; hashtags are for losers.

        Haha those are great tips man! Will follow through on 1:1s and shorter tweets for a while instead of taking a lot of time on big threads that no one sees 🥲 thanks a lot for taking the time!
