It's very difficult for smaller accounts to gain followers.

Most of what you tweet goes on to the twitter void and gets lost.

But, what If I told you you can actually steal someone else's followers?

Pay close attention: this is the plan👇
1/ Our target

Where do most followers hang around these days?

You will find them near TOP accounts on your niche.

Make a list of those accounts and see who they follow.

Those accounts are our target.
2/ Research

But careful! Having a lot of followers doesn't mean anything, we need to make sure they are the right kind.

You need to search for someone whose tweets are full of engagements, specially replies.

We need to make sure their followers are active.
3/ Execute

Now go in for the kill.

Every time one of this top accounts posts something, reply or Retweet with comment.

Easy no? But there's a catch.

You need to ADD VALUE on top of the original post
4/ How exactly do you add value?

- Add your take to the original post
- Ask a thoughtful question so the original poster can reply
- Spark a conversation or join an existing one

Here's an example on how yesterday I stole 20 followers from @jackbutcher
5/ Reap the benefits

By doing that

- You get attention from people in your niche
- You might create relationships with the top account
- These people will check out your profile thanks to your reply and probably follow you
6/ Protip: Timing

The perfect heist requires perfect timing.

1. Set up notifications for those accounts so you know when to attack
2. Be fast. Try to be one of the first accounts to comment
7/ Protip 2: optimize your profile

Check this tweet to see how to do it:
8/ Avoid doing this:

- Don't just rephrase the sentence
- Don't reply too much, too often. Find a balance
- Comment only if you have something valuable to add
9/ What now?

You made it! You are one step closer to become a Twitter thief.

What's stoping you from targeting those top accounts?

Go make that list and plan the next heist!
