DEEP DIVE

How to Get 1000+ followers on X

This is a dead simple 3 step model for growing on X to that magical 1000 follower count.

1. Dial in your profile

You've gotta treat gaining followers like a marketing funnel - the goal is to get visitors to your profile hyped enough to hit the follow button.

But here's the thing: you've got like 2 seconds to grab their attention when they land on your profile. Your banner, profile pic, and bio gotta reel them in quick before they bounce.

So let's start cooking up an irresistible profile, shall we?

First up, the banner & profile pic. Keep it simple but intriguing here.

Take a peek at my Twitter/X profile for reference. 

Now for the bio - this is where we seal the deal. Your bio's gotta answer:

• What's your thing? What do you geek out over? Share your competency.

• Who are you? Give your creds, flex your achievements a little. Establish your authority.

• How can you help them or make them better? Answer the question why they should follow you.

Once you’ve answered those questions you can plug the details into Claude.ai using this prompt:

You are an expert twitter writer. You will produce a high converting twitter bio that has a concise sentence under 15 words. It should include:

Who you are and what your tweets are about.
Why should someone listen to you, what are your credentials?
Why should someone follow you, what will they get out of it?
Here's details about me to help write the bio:

I've created 3 seven figure brands, and write a newsletter for solopreneurs who want to do the same.

Provide 4 bios that are unique with practical language.

Take whichever option looks the best to you and humanize with any additional specifics. For example my bio is:

AI Solopreneur - Get the Saturday AIpreneur newsletter to maximize earnings, automate work & enjoy life, In 5 min. Subscribe for free.

Claude didn’t say “AIpreneur” but I changed it from from solopreneur.

If your still stuck start looking at your favorite creators with a decent following. If it’s working for them it will work for you.

2. Drive engagement

Your bio is only as good as your ability to drive engagement. We’re going to fill the top of the funnel with highly relevant and engaged community members.

Posting Tweets and threads without enough followers is going to be like shouting into an empty cave.

Here’s what you’ll do instead:

Put together a list of creators in your niche with 100k+ followers ideally.

Aim for at least 50 accounts.

Then head over to TweetHunter and load them into a list on under the CRM tab → Engage (people)

Then copy my filters here so only the most recent Tweets appear:

Now you have a perfectly curated feed of accounts you’re going to comment on that have a great chance of being seen.

Rules to follow when commenting:

1. Add authentic value! This can come in different formats:

   • Educational

   • Entertaining

   • Polarizing

   • Story

2. Illicit a response. You can do this with a questions, prompt others to weight in, or speak to or compliment the author.

Here’s an example that Sam Parr (248k followers) retweeted:

3. Write a longer reply to stand out.

4. Be one of the first people to comment.

You can shortcut your process by using Claude.ai with a couple prompts:

I will provide a Tweet that you'll respond to in one of the following ways that makes the most sense and provide 5 versions:

Add additional value
Continue with additional ideas on the original  Tweet
Disagree and add an alternative view

Keep your responses under 280 characters, be specific, and use a conversational tone.

Here is the Tweet:

[Paste Tweet text]

2. Move off platform

All this work on X to gain followers and drive engagement only to move them off the platform?

In marketing we evaluate what each part of the funnel is supposed to do:

Is it the job of a Facebook ad to collect payment for a $197 course?

No, it’s to sell the click, pre-frame your customer, and create curiosity to go farther down the rabbit hole.

Is it the job of your bio to sell a $2400 offsite mastermind?

No, it’s there to establish credibility, attract your ideal follower and get them to follow you.

The purpose of your bio is to gain a follower who will be curious enough to click your CTA and visit your website.

The holy grail is owned media:

• Name

• Email

• Phone number

The way you capture this information matters. Say your giving away a free iPad will result in a low intent audience.

Give them access to a resource that can double their income and you have a high intent audience.

My personal favorite is to capture their email to receive an ongoing newsletter using BeeHiiv. They make running a newsletter easy with their brand new AI tools like an AI writing assistant, AI text tools, AI image tools, and AI translator.

Most people spend time + dollars and give themselves ONE SHOT at converting a potential lead. The user hits your landing page, doesn’t buy your thing and they’re gone forever.

With a newsletter you have potentially hundreds of opportunities to sell, where your message finally hits or the timing was right for them.

And you incremental cost to send emails is PENNIES.
