Use these 6 psychology tricks on your profile to grow faster than 97% of people.

(Thread)
5 seconds...

That's how long it takes someone to decide if they're going to follow you.

If you use these 6 cognitive biases, I guarantee your numbers will go up.

Ready to get more followers?

Let's dive in...
1. Liking Bias

You say "yes" more often to people you know and like.

How to apply this:

Make your pinned tweet a story about you and your transformation.
2. Halo Effect

An impression created in one area will influence your opinion in another area.

How to apply this:

People associate your brand quality with the quality of your tweets.
Use a high quality profile picture and banner.
3. Authority Bias

You’re more easily influenced by authority figures.

How to apply this:

Create a high value thread about your niche and keep it as your pinned thread.

Bonus points if it involves your story and a transformation.

@writingtoriches wrote one of my favourites.
@writingtoriches 4. Authority Bias x2

Your value is perceived higher when high-value people associate with you.

Treat high-follower accounts as normal people and they’ll probably follow you.

But don’t befriend them just get a follow.
@writingtoriches 5. Framing Effect

Information looks more or less attractive based on how it’s presented.

How to apply:

Your follower number should be at least 10x the amount of the people you follow.

This makes your follower count look bigger.

And helps with the final psychological effect…
@writingtoriches 6. Bandwagon Effect

You're more likely to adopt a belief or behaviour if many others have already.

How to apply this:

More followers you have = more likely that people will follow you.

So use all the previous tips I gave you and you’ll get them easily.

My parents struggled with crack addiction.

I used to live in a motorhome as a kid.

I was a college dropout.

Here’s how I overcame it all and hit $50,000 a month by writing tweets: Image
I was the kid who was lower class.

My father wasn’t in my life because of crack addiction and my mother worked 2 jobs to support me.

I didn’t have any self-confidence or direction.

I knew I had potential, but didn’t know how to channel it.

I was aimless until the age of 22.
From ages 16-22 I bounced from job to job.

• Electrician
• Server
• Medic
• Security

I looked at the people working these jobs for years.

Lotta them looked dead inside, filled with regret.

If I didn’t make a change, this was my future.

I’m gonna simplify 4 key areas you need to focus on to grow your Twitter in 2023:

1. Relevance
2. Metrics
3. Association
4. Interactions

Now, WTF does this mean?
1. Relevance

One of the most important changes to Twitter:

The “For You” timeline.

This is because it’s now the default feed and will prioritize content that’s aligned with user:

• Interest
• Relevance
• Engagement

So, you need to understand one thing:

A poem I wrote that is dear to me:
Pineapple on my pizza, oh so fine,
A combination of sweet and savory divine.

The acidity cuts through the cheese and sauce,
A flavor balance that leaves my taste buds in a daze.

Vitamin C, a healthy boost it brings,
And a unique twist on pizza toppings
