Email is tough, LinkedIn DMS and twitter work a little better for me. The main thing I've learned is that it's better to spend 10x the time customizing before the reach, instead of sending 10x the number of cold messages.

Have your promotional content ready to go. Email lists assembled. Persona(s) that you're targeting identified and defined Warm up the Social Media accounts you're going to ask to help amplify your message Get all your Employees set up on Product hunt and get them active in the community. Make sure your user acquisition flow is tested and ready

Great list! Important that you broke it down for the various stages of follower growth. Do you look at Twitter as a top-of-funnel tool only, or further down the funnel too?

Another tip: Build it into your day, but timebox it. That way it doesn't completely take over or creep into time needed for other actions.
