You need to be consistent and have a niche. I've only been active on twitter for a couple of years, but I just talk about my personal experience building, running, and selling a software development agency. It's not for everyone - but the people that are interested find it valuable, and it's a niche that everyone isn't talking about. But twitter is a marathon, not a sprint.

Gaining the types of followers that would be interested in my product. I collect and share prices for routine auto services. So any car owner that pays for maintenance at an auto shop would be target audience.
Darius Ogenyi
@tariq_anees if you create content that educates, inspires and delights your audience, they'll come. Also, engage with accounts that have your ideal audiences already.

@kyle_place do have a swipe file for stacking engaging content you've come across?
Actually nothing for now as I figured out this while building community of 32K followers 🙂

You don’t know what make really high impressions
Darius Ogenyi
@jakeharr study posts that make high impressions and replicate them. What we think is rocket science, is actually in plain sight.

It's a saturated space and now virtually impossible to build a presence there unless you're a celebrity of sorts and open a new account there.
Darius Ogenyi
@chitterz it's saturated, yes. But with patience and the right strategy you can build following without being a celebrity.

It seems like everyone is on Twitter at different times, so it's hard to know when the best time to post is

@charliee1122 Who's your target audience? When do you think they'd generally be online? Make the research and post accordingly.

@tunc_emran Algorithm's come and go, but human nature never changes. Study that.

still struggling now

I think my biggest challenge is to start making tweets while having little followers and feeling stupid that no one will read them 😅

@mho22 Oh I didn't even know that this is how it works, I jut thought it might look bad in some people's eyes
Darius Ogenyi
@agnieszka_rybij 😅 we were all there at some point. Start with one Tweet, and keep going.

@agnieszka_rybij It is absolutely difficult. Maybe impossible. But we have to post and see. We also should learn more about the actual algorithm. For example : you'll have a bad reach if you have more followings than followers.
Yannick
@agnieszka_rybij I learnt this recently thanks to @NFT_God on X. There are a lot more indicators like this that makes it difficult for newcomers to be visible. I think I will make a summary of what a newcomer has to do right to have more visibility. I am actually at 40 following and 20 followers. It took me 2 months...

@dariusogenyi Thanks for the encouragement Darius, I'll for sure try at one point 😅

Some posts randomly do well, some don’t. Don’t know what works
Darius Ogenyi
@priyanka_prasad5 your analytics will tell which ones worked, double down on those.

I think here consistency is the key and understanding how algorithms are working. If you would constantly make a twits and translate your idea/values you want to share, you would definitely gain appropriate audience of like-minded people.
Brian Hurst
Having the patience and perseverance to keep going with Twitter. It's not the easiest space to build an audience, and it's definitely not the fastest either, but it can really provide some great returns if you stick with it. It's just hard to stick with it 😂

Gaining followers to widen my audience has always been a struggle. I do my best to publish tweets that are relatable and will attract my target market.
Darius Ogenyi
@azi1 you're on the right part, keep going.

It is a lot of engaging
Darius Ogenyi
@joonatanvanhala i can totally relate. I time 30 mins in the morning and evening to do engagement.
