People visiting your profile need to understand what are you talking about.
Of course you can make some exceptions but 90% of your content need to be about this topic, that's how you will get engagement
π Follow the influencers
Look for influencers in your niche. By influencers I mean someone who has several thousand followers and who's regularly quote by others about it.
Follow them and start interacting with them. Add as much value as you can in their comments.
β οΈ Small tip:
Activate the notifications for every tweet of these influencers, and jump in the comments right away.
(Don't spam, post only if you can add value)
π Use DMs
One of the most underrated features of Twitter is the Direct Messages. You should use them as much as you can.
Your content will be shown in priority to all the people you interacted with DM, so use them! Start a conversation there, make friends!
π Have a good Bio
People should understand why they should follow you and what to expect if they do.
Check @gregisenberg's bio:
- The avatar is recognizable and show the face of the owner
- We understand right away why we should follow him
- He shows credibility
β οΈ Small tip:
Uses the location slot as a call to action!
π Be consistent
Last point but not least, be consistent!
Create at least a tweet a day (threads get better engagement), participate in conversations, and follow-up in the DMs.
