3 Tips To Get Your First 100 Twitter Followers Fast

Here is how I did it in 50 days

I started out on Twitter as a total newbie and reached 100 Followers within the first 50 days.

This might not be the crazy growth result you want to see, but it’s the first milestone to more significant results.

I’m here for the long game and don’t believe in quick fixes.

If I have learned one thing during my 2 years as a content creator on Medium growing to almost 20k subscribers then it is this:

Building an engaged community takes time, dedication, and authenticity.

Viral hits are great and they will support your journey and speed up progress from time to time but you shouldn't count on them.

If you want to build a loyal and engaged community on Twitter, here are my 3 top tips on how to grow your Twitter following fast.

Tip 1: Create a Content Creation System

Sounds complicated? It’s not. A system makes it much easier to stay consistent and publish high-quality Tweets regularly.

Consistency is vital on all social media platforms without exception.

Here is how to set up your system:

When?

Set a precise time every week for batching your tweets and scheduling them. I do it every Sunday evening and so far I have been consistent for almost 2 months.

What?

Define how many posts you want to publish every week and during which time slots. This month, I publish 4 times a day for 7 days a week. Plus I repost some of my Medium articles.

Inspiration

When you sit down to write your Tweets, don't start from zero. When you develop your system decide what you will be tweeting about and where you will get inspiration from.

During the week I’ll mark interesting quotes I read in books and articles, and save Tweet inspirations from other creators in my nice to make them my own.

On Sundays, I never start from zero, I have tonnes of marks and notes I’ll turn into Tweets. Like this, it only takes me 1,5 hours to write and schedule all my Tweets for the whole week.

That’s all and voila you have a Twitter content creation system to make people hit the follow button when they visit your profile.

Tip 2: Engage, Engage, Engage

How to get eyes on your thoughtful created Tweets?

You can wait for the algorithm, but if you want to speed things up do this:

Use the Twitter list function and create a private list with big accounts in your niche. Once a day, click on the list and you will only see the posts from people on it.

Now engage with their posts by leaving an insightful comment or asking a question.

Don't force it, let it flow. You only want to add to a conversation in a genuine way to build your community.

I have 11 accounts on my list and try to engage every day or every other day.

Check your analytics and see which accounts bring you the most impressions and engagement. Adjust your list accordingly.

This is my absolute №1 tip for beginners on Twitter and probably all the way until 1k followers.

Tip 3: Get Your First Engagement on Your Tweets

My husband is my biggest fan.

When I teased him someone else had taken this spot on Twitter, he started liking each of my posts and even retweeted some.

It could be a coincidence, but from that point on my growth accelerated. Maybe you can ask your biggest fan to do the same for you to give you some tailwind.

Fun Fact: My husband says he feels many of my Tweets are written for him and helped him to become more mindful. That’s exactly what I’m aiming for with my Tweets.

Genuine feedback is priceless, especially in the beginning when you are building your Tweet muscle.
