1. Growth from 0 to 100 followers I connected with people (in DM) who did the same things as me at that time. As a result, we engaged with each other content. More engagement → more impressions → more new connections. Also, I added some boosters for a smooth start: active hashtags, tagged tools, and used visual content. If I should start from the beginning once again, I’d do the same. 2. Growth from 100 to 1K followers I stayed consistent. Tweeted 1-2 times daily, replied 10-20 times daily, connected with new people, and experimented with new content formats. Yes, it takes time. What helped? Buildinpublic, Growinpublic, and Learninpublic content. You don’t need to be a content farm providing educational content 24/7. 3. Growth from 1K to 5K followers I continued being consistent and engaging with followers. The only change - I switched my focus from engaging with big accounts to engaging in my account. 4. Growth from 5K to 13K followers Experiments, experiments, and one more time experiments. At this point, you need to stand out from the accounts in the same niche. The good decision is to add some personal content about your lifestyle, traveling, etc., so that people remember you. Growing your personal brand gives you a lot of opportunities. So, start small, find your audience, experiment, double down on what works, and most importantly - have fun. P.S. I deconstructed my growth from the very beginning in a Notion file.

What about the engagement? Can you share any insights on those?

@vladimir_zivkovic It'll depend on the content and what people ask/comment, replying and asking what they like using polls or something I guess.

@vladimir_zivkovic engagement is important, for sure. You should always reply on comment to your posts as it boosts engagement. Also, while growing to 5K it's better to engage with accounts in the same niche (10-20 comments daily)

Really interesting, from 0 to 100 how many times would you say you tweeted and commented? And thanks for sharing, great newsletter btw

Thank you for sharing your experience! At every stage, Engagement is a common theme. In the end, regardless of the size of the account, engagement seems to be key.

@charlie_lee1 I agree. After I started spending about two hours a day engaging, I see a noticeable increase in followers.

Thanks for sharing! I'm curious about the contents of your daily tweets? I think there must be something helpful for your followers so that they are willing to follow. So, for you, what's the helpful information that you offer them?

@basv This is amazing. Thanks for sharing. Don't you think there should be a bookmark feature for discussions? It will help us save a lot more similar interactions.

Truly valuable! Curious: Did you ever feel like your content got repetitive? or content block hit you?

Do you think this can be replicable in other social networks such as linkedin?
