How to grow your project on Twitter?

If it’s only Twitter you’re interested in then I would go with searching for relavant hashtags and engaging without promoting. Genuine discussion can go a long way.

I’m just starting in this journey and I’ve managed to triple my followers in just a few days by:

1. If I see a post that genuinely interests me, I reply with my genuine thought
2. I find posts like that by searching hashtags that I’m interested in, like #buildinpublic

The best way to grow on Twitter is to use the reply button.

Make sure to use the 80/20 rule of organic content for your niche & advertising your product.

I think instead of trying to create viral tweets and spending a lot of time "generating content" you should reach out directly to accounts that already have large amounts of followers that could benefit from using your product. Give the large account your product for free and offer lifetime affiliate deals for customers they bring to your website.

Did you consider other platforms? May be your target audience are hanging out elsewhere. All it might take is just repurpose your awesome content onto LinkedIn, FB groups, etc.

What is your current strategy?

Hi Shirley! I'm not Twitter expert but what's working for me is to engage. Consistently engage with your target audience. Comment, like, retweet!

• Add value to your Twitter post.
• Share what can be done with your product.
• Do small videos and share them with Twitter.
• Find big accounts for your niche, and start engaging in their posts.

Finally, get a kick a$$ landing page designed to attract more users.

General path to a lot of signups is a viral tweet, and to increase the chances of getting a viral tweet is with an account that has a large following.

What I'd recommend is, reply to large accounts with something insightful + related and quote tweet a tweet of yours that talks about the app.

While I don't remember exact examples, I do remember a few people talking highly about this.

Besides, this increases your chance of getting large accounts to tweet about your app organically.

Although Twitter (X) has never been my primary acquisition channel for the companies I work for, I have some tactics that have helped me. You can check them out as well:

• Search for keywords related to your product and follow people & thought leaders who post tweets about this topic.
• Post replies (preferably without promotion) to tweets related to your topic within 1-2 hours (max) after the tweet was published.
• I used a tool called WhisperWind (I’m not an affiliate or team member of this tool. I was just invited to test their MVP and I was totally impressed by the tool) to search for relevant tweets with a relevant intent and engage in conversations with those tweets. This action led to a significant increase in website traffic.
• If you have an affiliate program, encourage your affiliates to be more active on social media, as they often have a good audience volume and can help with promotion (which is a win-win for both of you).

Instead of selling something, try a funnel approach and start by engaging with other creators and then proffer value to your small audience. That never fails.

Its quite difficult for new or small accounts to promote a project on Twitter

I'm in the same boat, having very recently created the X account for my UI/UX design subscription service. However, based on some reverse engineering of other successful content creators on X, it's clear that it's about engaging others and trying to provide value wherever you can. Post quality tweets and engage top accounts in your niche. That seems to do the trick.

Engaging is the key. Sometimes the best marketing involves selling the problem instead of the solution

Growing a presence on Twitter can take time, but there are strategies to attract more users:

1. Interact with your audience regularly by responding to comments, retweeting relevant content, and engaging in conversations. Being active helps attract attention.

2. Share valuable, unique, and engaging content that resonates with your target audience. Use visuals, videos, polls, and hashtags to make your tweets stand out.

3. Use trending hashtags and participate in relevant conversations to increase your visibility. But ensure they're relevant to your brand and message.

4. Connect with influencers or users in your niche. Collaborate on content or engage with their audience to expand your reach.

5. Consider using Twitter Ads to promote your tweets or account to a targeted audience. It can help increase visibility and attract users interested in your content.

6. Maintain a consistent brand voice, profile aesthetic, and messaging. This helps users recognize and remember your account.

7. Encourage engagement with clear CTAs. Ask questions, run polls, or prompt users to retweet or share your content.

8. Monitor your Twitter analytics to understand what content works best. Optimize your strategy based on what resonates with your audience.

Remember, building a strong Twitter presence takes time and effort. Stay patient and consistent in your efforts to grow your user base.
