How do you manage your twitter to grow your community as a founder?
byโข
I try it many times with tools also like tweethunter, but on a daily basis I can't make it happen as a routine. Please give me some advice, I want to share my story as a founder and build a community.
It really depends on where your commmunity is and how you want to use twitter to leverage on it. How about you stop using automation tool for a bit and do it manually. Use a google calender to set up the tasks to be reminded. Rooting for you

@godstime_nwabue Thank you, this is what I think stop using tools. Put a calendar and stick on it.

@godstime_nwabue Right! I believe scheduling posts lower engagement rate and reach. Uploading posts manually and interacting with your audience is a great way to boost your twitter community

@tanya_kapoor That's one of the simple hack to get results

@godstime_nwabue Makes sense. When there is content in plenty, then we can opt for automation. Until then, manual posting and managing should be helpful.

@godstime_nwabue do you know what is the best time to post a tweet on twitter?
Report
- Follow people of interest
- participate in conversations
- tweet out whatever is on your mind and related to what you are doing
The key really is to show up, participate and not over think it. (IMHO)

@rosiesherry Thank you, I think my barrier is to care about what other people think about my posts. I will keep it in mind to not over think it.

@rosiesherry would totally agree with this ๐๐ผ

@rosiesherry Yeah, right! Just like we are participating in discussions on PH!

@rosiesherry Instructive. Will fascinate any individual interested in building a community. Thank you Rosie.
1. Talk with other founders
2. Share your experiences, learnings and mistakes from your journey and
3. Help others
Not to forget, keep your conversations real
I always try not to set myself any difficult tasks at all.
As for twitter, I just do it during the day and even manage to add about 40 tweets there.
It's actually not difficult when you just go to twitter 3-4 times a day.
Consistency along with value-added content has always been the key. Here are some ideas:
- Share your story as a founder this can include behind the scenes, millstones, but also challenges as well. Authenticity wins!
- Share your progress and updates with your startup. Such as releasing a new feature or any exciting news you may have
- Tweet about insights and tips related to your industry or startups
- Asks your community questions from time-to-time to bring discussion, engagement, and get to know their aspirations
- Help out other founders when you can and amplify their messages. This can be as simple as re-tweets or commenting.
In the beginning it's super challenging as may not have that much engagement but keep going at it as the community will come.

I think communicating with fellow founders is a must for this. Try asking this one too to founders on Wizly, they give great insights. https://www.wizly.app/ask-a-ques...
