. @X paid my mortgage again this month Don’t know how I got so lucky that many of you follow me here. I’ll try to share the little that I’ve learned about growing a (modest) following here on X. Hope it’s helpful to someone who is trying to grow: 1. Pick a lane and share everything you know When I first started posting, I only talked about starting a cleaning business. I was building it in real time and it was fun to share everything I was learning. My experiments, all my failures, and some of the successes Every day I tried to share just 1 thing I learned. That provided content every day and helped others who were doing the same thing 2. Make friends and be friendly with all. People follow people they like and trust (usually). Be someone that people like and enjoy engaging with. I’ve always tried to comment supportive / helpful things on other people’s content. Not only is it good for the soul + humanity, but it also helps you build relationships. That is actually important for building a following 3. Post how you talk. People are on this platform for entertainment + education. Big words don’t usually work. They scare people because they’re not here for a lecture. Just post how you talk and you’ll draw people to you because you’re real 4. Don’t try to be perfect and hide your scars. I share my failures all the time. I think that’s helped people trust and connect. No one wants to follow someone who is un relatable. 5. Do stuff and talk about it Like actually be working on something (fitness, business, hobbies, etc). People want to see what other people are up to and share in their experiences. You will automatically attract people trying to learn/do the same things. Make it a series or “your thing”. At least for a while at the beginning 6. Be patient If you look at top creators on X, you’ll see they’ve posted thousands of times. It’s not a coincidence that, often, the number of followers someone has mirrors the number of times they’ve posted. There are exceptions of course but I’d say is true more times than not So that’s it. That’s what I’ve learned from +8.6k posts and +9.2k followers (see what I did there 👀). Hope this was helpful to someone. Comment your questions (if any) and I’ll try to share what I know
