My wife bet me I couldn't get to 1,000 followers on Twitter in a month

She was wrong.

I did it in 2 weeks! (from 55 followers)

I had a winning playbook and it worked:

First, to my first 1,000 followers

Thanks for engaging with me

#SMBTwit is the community I focus on (think #RETwit but with only smart people)

I buy businesses…and want to connect with other investors and entrepreneurs

Let's give away some secrets...

My results in 2 weeks:

-600,000 impressions (WHAT??)
-30,000 profile visits (WHAT?? How that even is possible but OK)
-1,001 followers
-95 inbound DM convos
-12 investment deals
-video calls with >30 people so far (this has been the most enjoyable)

To grow rapidly in any Twitter niche, you need:

-targeted niche where you can provide REAL VALUE

-support from your niche (comments, retweets, likes, etc)

-quality posts & threads

Twitter is a game...and each level it seems requires different tactics

You also need to know basic system & rules

-engagement is necessary (time and energy)

-retweets are gold, and show your stuff to more people

-if you don’t have something to say already, it will be hard to do this over the long run

My initial goals 2 weeks ago

-1,000 followers in 1 month

-get deal flow

-improve my copywriting and storytelling skills

-find exceptional operating partners for future businesses I buy

My content strategy

-3 single tweets (observations, questions)

-post 2-3 threads per week (this is the most 🔥 ideas I have)

-create list of 10 top voices in my niche, and engage them

-Show true value in anything you write

Threads

-Great 'hook': I copied hook structure from @girdley. I tried to bait him into retweeting my thread (no dice...)

-not too long

-less words. Working on this myself

-'how to' guides hit well aparently

@girdley Thread Example

148,000 impressions, 400+ likes, 89 retweets.

good hook + unique content

Large voices in your Niche

-identify the large voices in niche (people with lots of engagement or followers)

-engage with them

-create relationships w those large voices (your content should be so unique that they know you by you)

General Twitter Best Practices

-I started using @hypefury (free) to capture my ideas & schedule

-Follow @thatroblennon for good copy writing & growth ideas

-I’d rather have 1,000 followers who exactly my people vs 20,000 randoms

These folks have been especially supportive (follow them and support them plz)
