Ideas for a Twitter bot (Growth Hack)
I've been ideating around growth hacks and gaining creator/public attention.
The advantage I have is in the robust rendering engine within https://motionbox.io. I've built an SDK that allows myself and other devs to programmatically render videos (https://github.com/bluematter/motionbox-twitterbot)
So as an experiment I built a bot that listens to the Twitter stream, in particular it listens specifically to "@_motionbox render" then it will take the OP post and turn it into a video (example: https://twitter.com/michaelaubry/status/1418273261415124994).
I am seeking to collaborate and share this technology with other founders who need growth. Creating this thread to get some ideas going around how we can turn the bot into an interesting growth engine.
My current approach seems to be turning people off and I've lost over 20 followers in 2 days. The initial thought was this would give the OP value so that he/she could use it in their blog or on IG.
Seems like the current approach is rough around the edges, but I feel like there is something here and want to get some ideas going.
Ill start (First Idea)
Add a link to an external page created for that particular author, aggregate all the Tweet videos into one author page, offer download links, embed links, etc
I think that the bot should provide value for whoever is rendering those videos. Either being a growth channel for themselves or something that is of interest to your audience. Maybe trying to make a small trailer out of each video as a promotion? I'm also trying to leverage a Twitter Bot but I think that I will use it from a Fomo approach, more like: Today, 20 people has rendered a video
Just a thought, but, in the videos, saying "follow whomever" is rather a road to nowhere when there is no click-to-follow link in the process. Please consider that as the CTA, and how you will take the Twitter handle in the video and give people a quick way to click/tap to follow the acct.
