70,000 Twitter followers!

Previous milestones I’ve wrote some long strategy about how to do Twitter.

But I feel like that can distract from how simple it can be. This tweet is the formula I followed:

So I decided why should people follow the account: to learn marketing from real examples.

And I started posting. My style started off as a rip off of Steve Schoger. and slowly morphed into my own thing.

And then I spent 14 months doing literally nothing other than coming up with marketing examples to share. It's pretty much a full time job.

If there is a lesson it's keep going. Because it only gets easier.

Back in the day I'd publish a tip and get 10 new followers. Now one can add 1000 followers.

Thanks for the support. Over and out.

    Congrats! This sentence tickled my curiosity: "And then I spent 14 months doing literally nothing other than coming up with marketing examples to share. It's pretty much a full time job."
    How do you feel about marketing now? Does it still excite you? Do you think you'll get sick of it?

      Hey @debbie_w, @KarimDaghari

      Yeah. I still really enjoy it.

      Sometimes I get fed up but all I need is a day or two off and the fire is back in the belly :)

      I'm lucky to be working for me. And making more money (fingers crossed) will be really motivating as well :)

    Congrats man, loved your last newsletter. Keep killin' it!

    You're an inspiration in this case Harry. Do you do anything specific to reach new followers as well? Like replying to specific tags or tagging specific people?

      Haha. Cheers John. One of those things where when you hit 10k all that stuff just isn't worth the time.

      I'm finding my Instagram growth a bit harder (just started). So trying to work out a few tricks like that to push the numbers up :_)

    Congratulations on reaching your milestone!

    It seems your advice is pretty similar to what Daniel Vassallo (https://twitter.com/dvassallo) says in his Twitter course.

    Thanks Harry!

    Was your strategy only to "post post post" and let the followers come?

    Or did you get followers other ways too (like commenting on influencer posts, searching hashtags and commenting, upselling twitter account from other websites)?

      post post post. but also make friends on the platform as well

      also i push my twitter on my newsletter. so everyone who joins gets a line about signing up.

      i ran like $100 of ads as well which pulled in a few followers in the early days as well :)
