The way to get new followers or organic traffic from Reddit

A Thread πŸ§΅πŸ‘‡
1/ You need a good piece of content.

- Create a blog post about lessons you learned, how you grow/sold/failed.

- A length of 600 words is enough.

- Don't put links in the content

- Have a single CTA at the end of the post - A link to your Twitter or product
2/ The best subreddits to post to as an #indiehackers :

- /r/Entrepreneur is a super popular one, which can bring 1000+ visits.

⚠️ It requires 10 karma points to comment. Just spend some time in the "New" section and help people. You should receive these 10 pts quickly
- /r/Startups is also popular but VERY strict on the content and self-promotion.

It's very hard to leverage, use the dedicated thread or their Discord chan instead.

(I still a big fan of it, but don't use it to get traffic)
- /r/SideProject & /r/nocode are less popular but very friendly.

Nothing special in terms of rules, just post any relevant content and you should see some traction!
3/ Post where your audience is

- /r/Marketing,
- /r/Design
- /r/Programming
- /r/Webdev
- /r/Productivity

All of these are super popular. Try them if your content is relevant!

4/ Overall Strategy:

- Try your content on a small subreddit before posting on a big one (SideProject before Entrepreneur)

- It's ok to post the same article on different subs, but don't do it too much. People check your profile, more than 3-4 repost looks spammy.
- Comments are super important, answer to them fast. It will give you some momentum and will help you show up in the "Hot" section.

- Redditors aren't as mean as you heard. If you bring value they'll love you!
5/ Rules and bans

If your post doesn't show up in the "New" section or is "removed", you probably have some issue with your content.

Double-check the rules, clean your post and try to repost.

If it's still not working, ask the mods (or create a new account)

Today's #MyTwitterAnniversary

I joined Twitter 13 yrs ago because I wanted to build a (french) audience about Second life (!)

It worked, I've been one of the few πŸ‡«πŸ‡·consultant that made a living from it!

And then, I stopped sharing stuff...
I switched to web development, and joined several companies. My need to be known wasn't a priority anymore.

But that was a BIG mistake. My twitter account just died silently πŸ˜‘

Please, don't so that. Your boss won't help you find your next job!
Last September I decided to go full indie and I restarted twitter "from scratch", with 1300 "zombies" followers 😁

And it worked! I grew this account from 1300 to 2700 in a few months and made tons of new friends!

How to grow your Twitter audience,

A thread about what worked for me πŸ‘‡
πŸ‘‰ Choose a topic

Choose a specific topic and stick to it.

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
πŸ‘‰ 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.
