I am pretty new to Twitter and I have started to post helpful and relevant tips for my target market. I noticed that I get about 40-50 views on a post consistently. However, I am not building a follower base fast enough. How did you build a solid follower base on Twitter?

Do you have a link to the twitter you're trying to promote? I'd have it in your bio here on PH, since more people will be able to see it (send only the @ in the replies, linking directly is sometimes forbidden by PH). As for advice, I notice if you're small, it's better to focus on replies more than posts. Find a very recent fast growing post (>1 day + lots of likes) and post a relevant reply. Likewise, you can also reply to replies (regardless of size) that are asking a question and answer them. Once you're bigger, your actual posts will gain more traction. I don't post a lot on twitter (focusing on other growth channels), but you can check my twitter @TheRealEtch for examples. Good luck!

@therahulissar Very helpful post Rahul! Thanks a lot! I will look into adding value through useful comments. What should be the cadence for my own posts? I do about one post per day on Twitter at the moment.

Twitter is a great way to connect with people who share your interests and start building relationships that can lead to business opportunities. The first step is to create engaging content that focuses on topics relevant to your audience. Then, use Twitter ads targeting new followers who are likely interested in what you have to say. You can also conduct targeted promotion using retweets and hashtags as well as contact other influencers and ask them for endorsements or guest posts. In addition, make sure to stay active on Twitter by posting frequently and responding to comments, replies,and messages. Not only will this help you build awareness of your brand and engage potential customers; it will also help increase the number of followers following you.
