It took me 3 months to figure out how to use Twitter right.

But then I grew to a 12,000+ audience.

Here are 8 Mistakes I made which you shouldn't repeat.

THREAD 🧵 ↓

1/ Not Engaging

• Twitter is a platform where you give and take.

• But give give give give and then take.

• Engage with other accounts, add more value to them.

• If you regularly engage with at least 10-15 accounts I'm sure that account will start noticing you.

• I wasted my initial days just focusing on MY tweets, MY likes, MY comments.

• It didn't work well.

2/ Not Observing top accounts in my niche

• I kept on thinking about what will work by doing multiple permutations and combinations.

• But the fact is if you follow top accounts or top tweets patterns and try to follow them you succeed faster.

3/ Didn't Leverage DM

• I never knew DM can do wonders in building a strong friendship and connection.

• I use to approach 0 people in DM when I started my journey.

• Today I offer my products for free to many of them in DM.

• Remember to GIVE.

4/ Kept Posting threads

• When I had less than 500 followers I was posting threads

• But the fact is no one will ever notice it as you don't have much following

• Don't waste time on thread focus on small tweet formats and adding more value to top accounts

5/ Not optimizing the Bio

• Bio makes or breaks your profile

• I had added random text before that didn't make sense to my audience

• I use to get profile visits but no following

• If you have more profile visits and fewer follow, it's time to A / B test your bio

6/ Waiting for tweets to go viral

• This is the worst thing you can ever do while growing your audience.

• I have gone viral 4-5 times till now and true it brings 1000's followers.

But you know what matters most?

• Every single tweet, You are getting noticed by may every single day.

• Keep posting, You will go viral in no time.

7/ Have more expectation

• I use to spend hours writing tweets and get less than 10 likes in return.

• I kept on expecting too much when I tweeted.

• But the fact is you can never control what's going to happen next, All you can do is posting good content.

8/ Never spend time on Analytics

• I never use to reuse my content which performed well.

• But the fact is you can write the same tweet in 10 different ways.

• I use to keep thinking of what to tweet when I already had the analytics to measure.

analytics.twitter.com

TL;DR

1. Didn't Engage
2. Didn't Observe
3. Didn't Leverage DM
4. Posted Threads
5. Never knew Bio matters
6. Wanting to go viral
7. More expectation
8. Don't measure tweets
