A lot of people have been asking me how I managed to get over 6,000 followers in 3 months (that's right, lol).
Here are some key things I did to boost my audience.
Time for a thread 🧵
First, I created an attractive profile (at least I thought) which portrayed me as a newbie developer. I also used hashtags like 100DaysOfCode and CodeNewbie.
As a beginner, use hashtags in your tweets. This will help expose your tweets not just to a bigger audience.
The next important thing I did was engage with the tweets of bigger accounts. I created a long thread containing short tutorials on JavaScript, then I mentioned in public comments that "anyone looking to learn JS should checked my pinned", which brings to 3rd point
The easiest way to gain followers fast is GIVE THEM A REASON TO FOLLOW. There are many strategies but mine is simply creating valuable content they might be interested in. I then organize this into a thread (like this one, lol) and attach a CTA at the end of it
Consistency and patience are the most important requirements to growing your audience. Sometime I release great content and gain very little engagements, but I NEVER GIVE UP!
Anyone can achieve that (and even more) with the right mindset and commitment!
That's it!
I hope this thread enlightens you on some actions you can take to increase your numbers, a lot of other accounts have done better.

A short thread 🧵
🎯Have good command of one programming language.
One thing I have noticed is that it’s far easier to learn a new language when you fully comprehend one. Instead of hoping from one language to another, fully commit to “mastering” just one.
🎯 Constantly practice what you learn.
Build projects based on them. There is absolutely no better way to learn than doing it yourself, and consistently. It doesn’t matter if it’s big or small, what matters is you do it. Practise makes perfect.
