At one time, I had over 18k followers but I’m down to 11k now.
I built my following tweeting about activism but I want to learn/connect with more product developers, SaaS leaders and marketers.
Will you follow me? Obvs I’ll follow back.

@mick_essex Interesting, thank you!
Also, how did you get 18k in the first place? or even 11k. Would love advice on how to grow my Twitter following.
@siavoshzarrasvand I have a previous AMA post on here that can provide some context but the tl;dr is
1. Constant activity and engagement. Back in 2020 when I built my following, I was spending 6-7 hours a day and averaged around 200 tweets a day. It was the middle of the pandemic so I had nothing else to do lol
2. Find your community (usually with a common hashtag) and get included in list posts. It's basically a tweet thread of @'s for people who are like-minded and should be followed. If you can get included in a few of those from big accounts, you're gold. Because it's a signal that you've been vetted and can be trusted. It's the hive-mind principle. BUT, you have to reciprocate when you get a following for other small accounts that are trying to grow too. It's a ton of work, not gonna lie.
@siavoshzarrasvand Got you!
