Ask HN: How to Win the Twitter Game?
I am using Twitter for around 10 years yet still don’t have any community or enough followers. Every other article about this is generic and doesn’t give any insights. How can I win the Twitter game?
- chovy 6y agotwitter is pretty boring.
- greenyoda 6y agoEnough followers for what? What do you hope to accomplish by using Twitter?
- onurgenes 6y agoFor marketing my own content and just being social
- aww_dang 6y ago1) Have a photogenic profile. A beautiful woman would be ideal 2) Appeal to the emotions of the masses with hot takes on current events. 2.a) Don't make them think too hard. 2.b) Confirm their biases. 3.c) Be mildly witty 3) Sex sells, thirst trap, etc. 3.a)Post open ended topics that invite your lonely followers to respond. 3.b)Ask for feedback on your photos. 3.c)Appeal to white knights
- cblconfederate 6y ago#2 works but i dont think people go to twitter to find hotties. And it's not gonna be a useful crowd
- yorwba 6y agoTwitter has image upload. That's enough. There's a Twitter niche of pornstars trying to get people to sign up for their OnlyFans page. Presumably they think they're attracting a useful crowd.
- aww_dang 6y agoDefine 'useful' in the context of Twitter.
- cblconfederate 6y agoi assume for marketing purposes, and i don't think OP wants to sell porn
- cyberdrunk 6y agoPlease don't do this. We don't need Twitter any worse than it is already.
- DEADBEEFC0FFEE 6y agoI have no first hand experience, but presumably there is an algorithm making recommendations of tweets to users. I would very much expect big accounts to carry some weight. So perhaps one approach is to follow many big accounts that have similar interests, comment often, hopeful get followed, and eventually get comments to you tweets, which then get seen by big fish followers.
- cercatrova 6y agoUnlike the other commenters here, there are many resources for growing your Twitter audience. Tldr, make cool content, tweet about niches, and reply to everyone. Check out @dvassallo for more info, and search on IndieHackers for how to grow your Twitter audience. I can't post the links right now.
