Secondly you need a good content distribution. Tool like Missinglettr V3 could help.
You can also consider running some automation to growth your network. This will depend a lot on the social media you are using. Here is an example with twitter: https://fabian-maume.medium.com/... If you tell me which social media you are interested in, I can recommend you the proper tool.
Quality content is required. But to gain more followers, you're going to have to interact with people (replies, polls, quizzes...) so that you can raise awareness.
Many ways
- Create a snipe list of people / influencers. Whenever they post something new, add value there by your comment.
- Create quality content
- Make a group of like minded people and help each other as Money twitter folks do
Best way is providing value to the community. You can gain some followers in many ways initially. But in long term, only the quality content will survive.
