I'll audit your twitter for free, and tell you what you need to do to grow it

Hey Simon,

• You've got some threads that you haven't "reply tweeted". Instead of just tweeting a new tweet as the next item in a thread, use the "reply" button on the previous tweet in the thread. That makes it easier for people to follow along.
• Since the end of July you've been more active, but there was a long stretch where you weren't. Keep up the activity!
• You've got lots of retweets - see if you can quote tweet instead and add some of your own value

Good luck!

Hey Andrew,

Congrats on the weight loss journey! 30kgs in a year is no mean feat.

• It's been a few months since you tweeted with any consistency. Without tweeting no one will see your account, so you won't grow at all.
• Connect with @albertoresci (he's further down in this thread. This is his twitter). Set up a challenge to reply to every tweet the other person posts within 2 hours (outside sleeping times).
• Are you building anything? Share more about it. Even if it's a guitar!

I'm rooting for you - send me a DM on twitter and I'm happy to support more.

Hey Temidayo,

You've been tweeting consistently over the last couple of months - keep it up, it's been helping! You've got a great timeline as well, I think you're doing a lot of the right things to keep growing.

• It seems like you focus primarily on tweeting out into the void and hoping for engagement (9/10 of your tweets is just a tweet to your timeline). Try changing the ratio - make 5/10 of your tweets an interaction with someone else.

• This tweet is one of your best performers. That format is a great format to use - quote tweet someone with a bigger audience and adding your own insight.

• The tone of your tweets is very instructional ("follow this advice"). Until you have a bigger following I'd try changing to a more conversational tone ("here's the advice I got, here's how I implemented it, and here's the result I got").

If you do any of these, please let me know in a week if they help at all!

Hey Ercin,

Hope you're having a good time in Bali - sure looks like it!

• You've got a lot of hashtags in all your tweets and profile. That's a bit out of fashion these days. People often think you're trying to game the system or sell something.

• Your engagements all seem to focus on the NFT community. If that's the most important community for you then that makes sense. I'd say it's stopping you from growing outside that community though, so if you want to grow outside the NFT world then I'd add some more tweets about your other projects.

• I said this to a couple of other folks too - a display pic that is more human will help.

Best of luck - let me know how it goes!

Hey Salil,

• Your timeline reads a bit like the automated news feeds that cover the stockmarket - just stats and copypasta about company reports. I think it'd help if you included some more topics outside of NFTs, or more thoughts about what's going on in the NFT industry.
• This tweet of yours did well, and so did this one. More analysis like that will help with engagement
• Given your audience, I think you'd do well from some games/giveaways. Can you set up a competition to giveaway one of your NFTs, or the opportunity to mint something new? You could ask your audience to share what they want to see built on openprosper. That way you're getting both user feedback and also visibility.

What's your feedback on these suggestions?

Hey Ryan,

Great banner photo - what city is it? Got some pretty easy suggestions for you:

• Tweet! No one sees your account if you don't tweet, so you won't grow at all.
• Add something interesting to your profile.
• Looks like you're writing some interesting articles on your blog. Rather than just pasting the link into a tweet, take some of the best sentences from the articles and post them, or post a question ("Do you also hate semantic versioning? Please commiserate with me.") and then link the article.

Are you actively trying to get more followers?

Hey @Bipbop

I just checked out Kurato and I'm surprised you're not using some of your instagram technology to help grow your twitter!

• You're missing a banner image, try adding something otherwise people might think your account is inactive or you don't really care about it.
• You were a little active in July, but you've dropped off again in August. Can you take 10 mins a day and reply to every tweet you can?
• @phillipstemann is a similar size account to yours (this is his twitter). Take a look at his account, DM him 3 topics he should tweet about next week. Ask him to do the same for you.

What do you think?

Hey Dorian,

Trying to grow two accounts at the same time! Courageous. I'll focus on the personal account for now:

• The banner image is pixelated which isn't a great first impression - I'd suggest make a good looking 1500px X 500px image and upload that
• Hashtags are a bit out of fashion these days, so no need to include them.
• You're only following 45 folks. Find some more great people to follow, so you have more in your timeline that you can engage with. This is a list of a bunch of the guests on the IH podcast - that could be a good place to start!

Any of this helpful for you Dorian?

Hey Riten,

Great account, consistent tweeter, cool product (fueler). Nice work!

I don't have too much to add.

• From the interactions I saw, it seems like you're pretty active chatting with people. Is there a group that you could focus on more specifically though? e.g. potential customers of fueler.
• every time you go to reply "thanks" or "this is cool", take 5 seconds to see if there's something more you can add

Keep it up Riten!

Hey Victor,

I love the sketch you have as your display pic 🥳

You've picked up your tweet volume this month, so that's been helping you pick up more followers.

• You're a member of the Notion Community. Try finding people in there that are producing good notion content and then quote-tweet or reply to them on their main timeline.

• Create a list of great Notion folks (with accounts that are your size or up ~2k followers). Promote that list on your twitter ("lots of great guidance here, follow this list if you want to become a Notion pro!"). Then let those folks know that you put them on the list and that you appreciate their great content.

• Change the wording of your profile. "I want to show you how to use meditation to achieve your goals!" is nice, but I don't know what I need to do to make that happen. What's the call to action?

If you're looking to keep growing your twitter, feel free to DM me on twitter, I'm doing a closed alpha for the tool and you look like the type of user that I'm targeting, so I'd love to give you access in exchange for feedback.

Hey Vika,

Here's some suggestions:

• Don't use twitter to spam. You sent the same tweet to ~30 people, that's no fun for anyone!
• Tweet original content - you're not currently tweeting/sharing anything so no one will see your account to follow you!
• Add some fun info to your profile.

I'm currently trying to grow my personal account so maybe you'll get some inspiration from my tweets! https://twitter.com/iamtomelliot

Hey Alberto 👋

Looking good! You've got a call to action in your profile ('follow for more', the arrow in your banner), so that's a great start.

• I think people will be confused about the fact that you're 15, but also claiming to "tweet awesome threads and resources to help your dev journey". You're probably a better dev than I am, but I can imagine people might think "why would I listen to this kid??". You could change your message to be more about learning and sharing.

• A display pic that is more human would help. If you don't want to use a photo of yourself check out what @thevicmontano did for his display pic.

• You only have 9 tweets, so I guess keep at it 😅

Feel free to DM me as you're going and I might have more tips for you!

Hey Mike,

Very impressed with what you're doing on all your design brands - unwrapped, svgdoodles, brutalist websites, the list goes on!
You're also consistently tweeting, so that's great.

Looking at your timeline, you do a great job sharing updates on your projects. To keep growing at your size you'll need to start mixing up your format away from "informal build in public" to more "professional" - higher fidelity, higher value tweets. Check out Matt Wensing as an example.

If you really want to put the pedal to the metal then find 4 of your twitter friends that have about the same number of followers as you do and are also trying to grow their account, and set up a 1 month challenge. Everyone puts in €25. Whoever grows the most (as a %) by the end of the month takes the whole pot.

Use analytics.twitter.com to find your best performing tweets each month for the last 6 months. Retweet them.

I'd be curious to hear how you go with this!

Are you using any tools currently to manage/grow your twitter?

Hi Rishiraj,

Looks like your last tweet was in May, so that's an easy one: tweet. No one will see your account to hit the follow button if you don't tweet 🙃

Try putting a call-to-action in your profile ("follow me for ...", "check out my blog at rishiraj.dev")

Find 3 people you follow that tweet about something you also about. Turn on notifications for their profile for the next week and then reply whenever they post something you can add value to.

Any of this useful for you Rishiraj?

Hi Deepankar,

Your twitter's looking nice! Also Chloromaps is great too.

Here's some tips:

• Logo as a display pic comes across as a business rather than an individual. People are more likely to engage if they see you as a person. Even a pencil drawing of a person's face would help, if you don't want it to be a photo of you.
• You're doing great with replying to people that tweet about txtmoji 👍 Rather than just a "thankyou" reply, it's a good chance to engage with users and get their feedback, so try something like "Thanks for checking it out - it'd be great to hear your thoughts. Anything that you found confusing when you were using it?"
• Txtmoji got product of the day! That's worth putting somewhere front and center - either as a pinned tweet, in your banner or written in your profile.

Hope this helps! If you'd like to follow my personal account, I've just started trying to grow it too: https://twitter.com/iamtomelliot

Hey Mastan,

Number one thing for you is easy: Be more active - you've tweeted 3 times in the last month!

There's nothing in your profile to tell me what I'm going to see if I follow you, an update to tell people what to expect from your account will help.

Change the pics - both you display pic and banner are stock images. Not very exciting for people seeing your profile!

If this has been helpful, I'm trying to grow my personal account too! https://twitter.com/iamtomelliot

Hey Phillip,

Looks like you've started putting more time into twitter since June and it's been paying off. Your big jumps in followers has happened when you've been tweeting >10x per day

• Great job engaging with other accounts. This is a good strategy. I see a lot of the accounts you're working with being pretty big (5k - 15k). Have you got any that are closer to your size (say <= 500) that you can engage with?
• Consistency: You seem to have 1 week bursts of activity. Can you stretch that to two weeks, take a break, and then do another two weeks?
• This is your best performing tweet. Without overdoing it, can you find other people to shoutout?

I'd like to hear if any of these tips help - I'll follow up in a week to see!

p.s. How's Planzer going?

Hey Alex,

Just checked out ERA.sh - looks like a super clean tool!

You've already got 2k followers (nice work!) so I think you already know what you need to do to keep growing! You had some great growth earlier in there year and now it's stagnated a bit. Here's what I picked out to help get out of the rut:

• Tweet more often. When you were growing faster earlier in the year you were a lot more active (100 tweets/day !!! vs 2 tweets/day).
• Work with others. You're doing a good job of replying to folks' tweets, but you're not getting high engagement from those replies. Try adding some insight or expanding on their tweet as well.
• Balance the marketing. Your updates on ERA.sh are super interesting, so definitely keep them up, but balance them out with other useful tweets.

Any of these resonate with you?

Hey Ivor,

Looks like you've been in the game a while so I think you probably already have a good understanding of twitter culture. Do you have some new goal you're trying to reach? Or you're just curious to hear my suggestions?

• Tweet more! You're averaging a tweet or two here and there. Take 10 mins each day and reply to 20 tweets.
• I'm sure there's more to you than "Senior Software Engineer @ http://G2i.co" - add some spice to your bio
• You seem like you know what you're doing when it comes to js! I think that could be a super helpful theme to tweet about - brainstorm a bunch of things that beginner js devs don't know and tweet one a day for the next two weeks.

Curious to hear how it goes!

Hey Dan, I've gotta wrap up for the evening and get to bed. As promised, I just sent you a DM on twitter.

I'll come back to this thread tomorrow!

Hey Joy,

You've been tweeting pretty consistently the last month - nice one.

I did a quick review of your account, here's some tips:

• Find some more people that talk about topics you like, and follow them. Having more people showing up in your feed will help you to find more people to chat with.

• You tweet a lot of advice ("Live like a student", "How you can level up yourself by using Antifragility", "Get yourself used to the art of not finishing. Don't like the book you are reading? Ditch it"). From your profile I'm not convinced that you have the credibility to give me advice (although you definitely might!). I'd suggest either: increase the credibility of your profile by listing some of your achievements, or switch your content away from your opinions and instead reference others that you agree with. Here's an example where I did that.

• When you engage with someone else's tweet, try either sharing an experience of yours that relates, some insight you have that's relevant, or asking for some more detail/depth from the OP.

Hope this helps Joy!
