A Twitter audience is a massive asset.

I've added 37,196 followers in just 14 weeks.

Here are the 7 simple things I did:

🧵

1/ Built my publishing habit

In late October, I committed to publishing daily on Twitter.

I started with a "Happy {Day} to X" Tweet each AM.

I had 2 simple goals:

1. Build a habit of posting each day.
2. Put my name & face in front of people daily.

2/ An educational tweet each PM

Each afternoon, I share a lesson from my solopreneur journey.

Topics include:

- Audience growth
- Service businesses
- Building info products
- Using social media effectively

I pretend I'm writing to help ONE person.

3/ A step-by-step thread once weekly

Weekly threads power my growth.

I gained thousands of followers by sharing detailed threads.

My goal is to walk someone step-by-step through something critical in solopreneurship.

4/ Engage with 5-8 interesting people each week

Make it a habit to build connections.

Here are some smart folks I've chatted with, just to jam out:

@ecomchasedimond
@JamesonCamp
@Nicolascole77
@OneJKMolina
@TheDanKoe
@dickiebush
@landforce
@aaditsh

It's "social" media.

@ecomchasedimond @JamesonCamp @Nicolascole77 @OneJKMolina @thedankoe @dickiebush @landforce @aaditsh 5/ Comment underneath large accounts

One of the best ways to gain visibility here is to participate.

- Find interesting, large accounts
- Set up automatic notifications
- Read each of their Tweets
- Add valuable comments
- Engage

It's literally that easy.

@ecomchasedimond @JamesonCamp @Nicolascole77 @OneJKMolina @thedankoe @dickiebush @landforce @aaditsh 6/ Eliminated the "touch base" Tweets

After 90 days, I had a publishing habit.

So I stopped the daily, "Happy Weekday" AM posts.

They weren't adding much value.

I started writing entertaining content or 2x'ing educational Tweets.

@ecomchasedimond @JamesonCamp @Nicolascole77 @OneJKMolina @thedankoe @dickiebush @landforce @aaditsh 7/ Improved my "inspiration" swipe file

Writing a lot of Tweets means constantly being inspired.

Here are the tools I use to find that inspiration:

@hypefury (Tweet templates)
@TwemexApp (User's best Tweets)
@typeshare_co (Thread templates)
@TwitterBlue (bookmark fave Tweets)

@ecomchasedimond @JamesonCamp @Nicolascole77 @OneJKMolina @thedankoe @dickiebush @landforce @aaditsh @hypefury @TwemexApp @typeshare_co @TwitterBlue And that's it.

TL;DR

1/ Built publishing habit in the AM
2/ Educated my audience each PM
3/ A step-by-step thread once weekly
4/ Engage with 5-8 people in my niche each week
5/ Commented underneath large accounts
6/ Eliminated what wasn't working
7/ Setup inspiration tools
