How to build a legit audience on Twitter as an Indie hacker

In the past 18 months, I have built a legit audience on a few Twitter accounts ( 20k & 50k )

Had 10k+ launches

Written over 30k tweets

So I kind of know how the bird app works and I want to share the hacks with you all

We all know how important it is to build an audience

But what's more important is to build the right audience

And have the credibility among them as well

Yesterday I had a look at a few indie hackers account

they were doing some things completely wrong

Here is how you can avoid those mistakes & grow well

1. No hashtags in BIO

Bio is like your tagline

It is the CTA that determines your conversion

I looked at a few accounts yesterday

Some had hashtags in it

Don't do it

Understand that initially

You have to give people a reason to follow you

Here is the simple format you can use

“I am ( my post ). Something cool which you have done or currently doing

( raised money , hit a revenue mark , building something)

. What kind of tweets I can expect “

its that simple

Everything is covered in it

“ Java script developer. Building @XYZ. Tweets on marketing building in public selling “

That's it

I have tested it on multiple accounts it just works

Now this is the easy part

let's come to something important

How to grow? your account

2. The growth

Initially

The main engine for getting followers is to leverage other people's audience

How you can do it

ENGAGING

Make a list of 15 accounts

Accounts whose audience you want to have

Start engaging with their tweets

And you'll start getting profile visits from their audience

Don't post comments like

Agreed

Yes

No

Post something value giving which resonates with people

so that they can click your profile

Meanwhile, keep posting tweets

3. How to write better tweets

Above anything else

You have to write in a way that can be read easily

If you have observed closely

I am not writing this and this and this & this

I am writing like this

Just this

Got it

Write in a well-spaced manner

b) List works

things you should do before the new year
-X
-Y
-Z

Things like this are easy to read that's why they work

Use them

c) Write tweets that start with YOU

Cause people care about themselves

" You must be too dumb to believe that you can't learn to code "

Got it

Next comes THREADS

I have written over 300 threads for various people

And nothing works better than them

for growth, credibility, getting viral & establishing authority

How do write them?

NO that's not the hard part

The hard part is how you convince people to read them

Cause people drift off after the first tweet

I guess I am writing too much

Let’s keep " Threads " for another time

That's it for this post guys

I love this community

If you have any problem regarding

Growth
Engagement
Influence

Just reach out to me

I would love to help you out

And if you are too eager for the “thread” POST

Again dm me I'll send it to you

Happy Building
