10 months ago I had 700 followers.

Today I have over 40k friends here.

Here are 29 tips to grow a small account:
Tip:
Quantity leads to quality

Explanation:
Tweet an obscene amount when you start. You will never know what great content actually looks like until you make enough bad content to find out.

Who does this well?
@APompliano
Tip:
Engage with "Notch Above" accounts

Explanation:
Don't flock to Naval's tweets. Find someone a step ahead of you (e.g. if you're at 500, target an account with 2,000.) They just did what your next step is. Build that relationship.
