The Twitter header photo is the most underutilized asset

I’ve followed many within seconds - solely due to their banner

I realized, I am losing opportunities without a customized header photo

Put your header photo to work!

Here are 7 banners I learnt from to create mine...🧵

1/ @dharmesh

Why I followed within seconds -

• Established credibility immediately
• Content topics clearly visible (and relevant to me)
• Super friendly/approachable tone

Bonus: Have a lot of inspiration for my V2 header banner!

2/ @abarrallen

I was already following Allison. I sent her banner to my designer.

Why?

• Elevator pitch is precise
• Great visual design highlighting the product value

3/ @JamesClear

Believe it or not - I found @JamesClear and Atomic Habits on Twitter.

Bought the book, implemented several Atomic Habits,

But it all started from the Twitter banner. The banner speaks for itself!

4/ @immad

I took a lot of inspiration from this one.

• Clear and concise tag line
• Product image complementing the tag line

5/ @beondeck

Why I followed within seconds -

• Headline copy was too good,
• Resonated - Made me ask myself (who are the other ambitious people who are growing together?)

Followed, applied and now accepted to @beondeck ODS program!

6/ @mar15sa

Why I followed within seconds -

• Clean design
• Value proposition clearly highlighted
• Content topics visible

Followed, later joined her cohort based course.

7/ @heyblake

Why I followed within seconds -

• Highlighted very relevant information that matched my interest - CMO of a marketing company building in public.
• Clean visual design

tl;dr:

Put your header photo to work!

Sharing my learnings to pay it forward.
