The first 1000 followers is the hardest. It took me 11 or 12 weeks to get 1k and just 4 weeks to get 3k+ followers
Here are 3 tips for getting 1k followers faster.
1. Rather than just following accounts in bulk, BUILD LISTS
Add 10-50 accounts you admire and create a list.
And whatever value they post, leave a comment, with MORE value, that will help the next person grasp what they're saying better
Many new accounts make the mistake of having a larger following count than their follower count. This gives cheapens your profile
Your aim is to get 50-100 comments daily on bigger accounts
Please don't leave comments like: Yes, Well said, accurate or true.
Add value.
2. Join or create Engagement Communities.
You have two options either to join paid or free groups.
The paid ones are more organized and they give tips that will help you alot. The group that helped me the most was the famous smart community gumroad.com/a/896078963/vA…
Although it's my affiliate link, it's a community that will increase your growth faster than doing it yourself
Another trick is to reach out to similar accounts, and form an engagement group with them
Next are your tweets
One thing is getting engagement the other is the quality of your tweets.
Your tweets are what keep people, and The Template course was what did it for me

//here's my story//
I read all the stories on succeeding as a freelance writer.
So, I put everything into practice. And then, The keyboard on my computer suddenly became faulty, so I'd write blogposts on my phone and email them to as many people as I could.
I did this for days, and just one person replied. That's how I first got published
It wasn't sustainable, so I started using Upwork. I remember how excited I was for getting my first $20 gig.
I wrote that article by hand, and then typed it on my sister's computer and sent.
