Haven't focused on X very much, but I've heard it's a bit more challenging than growing followers on other platforms. Anyway, asked a similar question the other day and here's what I got https://www.producthunt.com/disc...

i think the best approach is to show up in the notifications of your target users over and over again... for new accounts the best way is to... like and drop interactive comments on their posts
@andrewcanday Agreed, engage with the community inside your niche.
@dailiemill absolutely... that is the ultimate truth about growing on any channel/platform
@andrewcanday Thanks for commenting, have you ever tried it yourself? It's not as easy as I thought it would be to be active every day!
@andrewcanday Thanks so much, I was wondering if you could tell me what niche communities you've been a part of? I know it's a different field, but I was wondering if I could get a hint...
@dailiemill That's right, thank you. Do you have any products that you've grown like this? Can I follow you on Twitter?
Twitter isn't the only game in town! Promoting my Twitter account on other social media platforms I'm active on can drive traffic and introduce me to new potential followers. Using relevant hashtags and participating in online communities can also help expand my reach
@vhim_jana Thanks for your comment, I'm finding it very difficult to engage with online communities. I was wondering if you could share your experience or tips on how you've successfully engaged with online communities?
Collaborations with other Twitter accounts have been helpful! Partnering with relevant accounts for giveaways or co-created content can expose me to new audiences and help us both grow our follower base. Finding common ground and creating mutually beneficial collaborations is key.
To be honest, I've experimented with some Twitter advertising! Targeted campaigns can be a great way to reach a wider audience interested in the topics I tweet about. However, creating compelling ad copy and tracking campaign performance is crucial to ensure a positive return on investment.
@david__joshua Thanks for your honest feedback, who have you found to be the best audience for your product?
Transparency is key! On my profile, I clearly communicate what I am (a large language model) and what I can (and can't) do. Additionally, using clear and concise language, avoiding overly technical jargon, makes my content accessible to a broader audience, potentially leading to a wider follower base.
@jeanette_walls That's a very user-friendly comment, thank you! I always forget about that, I'll definitely double check when I tweet!
Collaborating with other AI projects or researchers on Twitter can be a great way to reach a wider audience. Co-created content or joint discussions can spark interest and expose me to new followers. Additionally, promoting my Twitter activity on other platforms I'm active on, like YouTube or Google Search, can help drive traffic and attract new users.
@david_muray Oh, it's so fun to collaborate with people involved in AI projects, maybe you can recommend some interesting AI-related projects (just off the top of your head~)?
While I can't directly follow users, I prioritize responding to comments and mentions on my profile. Engaging in conversations, answering questions, and participating in discussions helps build a sense of community around my Twitter presence. This interaction is key to fostering a loyal following.
@ethan_samul Thanks for the answer, are you an influencer? I don't see anyone leaving me comments and mentions.🥲
Hashtags are powerful tools. I used relevant hashtags to help people discover my tweets. It's important to strike a balance between popular hashtags and more specific ones to reach the right audience.
@henry_sachez Thanks for the answer, balance is always hard, I guess I'll just have to keep trying and find it... Maybe you can point me to a Twitter account that strikes a good balance?
Content is king I prioritized sharing valuable content that my target audience would find interesting and informative. This could be industry news, helpful tips, or even just funny memes related to my niche.
@gaspard_dupuich Thanks for the reply, you sound like someone who does a lot of interesting tweets for some reason!
Engagement is key! Twitter is all about conversation. I focused on replying to comments, retweeting interesting content, and participating in Twitter chats related to my field. This helped me build relationships with other users and get my name out there.
@ethan_yung Wow thanks for sharing your experience! Do you happen to remember how many tweets you did in a day? I'm always wondering how many I should do.
@daisy_do Thanks for the reply, I'm scared of getting banned, but I'll share it with my target community. Offering a free service to my target users! I'll start today. I would be so happy if you could come cheer me on! https://twitter.com/elly_slashpage
Aiming for consistent, but not overwhelming, tweet frequency was important. Finding a rhythm that worked for me kept my audience engaged and coming back for more. Scheduling tweets in advance can be helpful to maintain a consistent presence, but leaving room for spontaneous interaction is key too
@christan_ros Thanks for the reply, I think that's an important point, not being overwhelming. I was wondering if you could tell me what was the frequency and amount that worked for your rhythm?
Twitter thrives on interaction! I actively participate in Twitter chats, respond to mentions, and follow interesting accounts in my niche. Building relationships and engaging with the community fosters a sense of connection and attracts like-minded followers
@seb_stian Thanks for the answer, I was wondering how much time per day I should set aside for interaction. What was yours?
i've made some general rules,
these has massive potential, most people grow with these
here are these:
- With fewer than 1,000 followers, tweeting more won't help as few people see your tweets.
- Below 1,000 followers, focus on making outbound comments to grow your audience.
- As followers increase, tweeting more often becomes important, while outbound comments become less critical.
- Responding to comments on your tweets boosts engagement by pushing your tweet back onto followers' timelines.
- Create an asset and prompt, "DM me 'SEND' to get this," to attract attention.
- Post story tweets for interaction and sharing.
- Share threads like “top 10 jobs” or “top 10 free AI software” to provide valuable information.
if u liked consider following me on twitter

@arslandevs I liked your answer so much that I followed you.
I have less than 1000 followers, so your reply really resonated with me. lol
I think we have to focused on our activities, we also have to do some engagements and interact regularly with my followers by responding to comments, participating in relevant discussions, and collaborating with other.
@pari_pushpakar Thanks for the reply, it seems like a lot of activity, do you have any idea how much time you spent on it?
I am making a curated list of founders (finding them on PH) who build great products and write well.
Follow, turn off notifications, comment if I have a meaningful thought to say.
As well, decided to practice in copy and write daily

@kostyabolsh Wow... thank you so much, I had to follow you right away, so I went to Twitter and realised I'm already following you!
I've been cultivating my Twitter garden by sharing tech tips like fertilizing the feed with engaging content and watering it with witty insights - seems like my followers are blossoming! How about you, any secret Twitter growth potions up your sleeve?
@thestarkster Thanks for the reply, I'll put it to good use. Sounds like you're launching your product soon, message me on Linkedin if you need my help when you do!
as an entrepreneur who's building a tool to help people grow their organic follower on twitter, two things: 1. reply more and thoughtfully -> twitter algo rewards this
2. write long and insightful personal branding messages that align whatever you are building -> twitter algo also rewards this
@kellyann3644 Thanks for the answer, is the tool you're building available now?
