Take care of your profile bio
Our account bio is our cover letter . It has to be perfect.
How to make a Twitter bio or X
To do this, we can follow some tips such as the following:
Choose an appropriate account and social media marketing service username that is easily recognizable to you or your brand.
Use a profile picture that clearly shows your face or your company logo . If it's blurry or unidentifiable, it will give off an unprofessional impression.
In your description, state what you're going to bring to the table . This will be your competitive advantage; the reason people should follow you. For example, are you an expert in robotics and will you post news about amazing advances every day? Are you a publicist and will you publish analyses of the best advertising campaigns of the moment?
Link to your website , if you have one, so they can access more of your content or contact you through that means.
As you can see, this first phase is very simple. It's just a matter of having your profile in order so that people can find you, know visually who you are, and what to expect from you if they follow you.
Interact publicly with other accounts
Being actively involved and frequently chatting with other professionals is a great strategy to gain quality followers.
Look for conversations related to your professional field and participate constructively:
Answer questions from your sector
Congratulate other professionals for achievements they have shared
Share your knowledge
Connect more personally with other professionals through Direct Messages
If you attend events , make yourself known by using the official hashtag
In this way, in addition to uploading your normal publications, you will also interact with other professionals in the sector to establish synergies or network online.
Post high-interest threads
Twitter threads or X's are sequences of posts , and have grown in popularity since it was discovered that people love to share them.
The depth with which the content is written demonstrates your experience and knowledge in the area , establishing your profile as a reliable source.
Additionally, the sequential nature of threads encourages users to follow you so they don't miss out on similar future posts . This, coupled with the fact that threads can be shared like a normal tweet, increases your profile visibility to reach wider audiences and gain more followers.
In this example we can see a technology account that talks about the most useful keyboard shortcuts, and that has reached more than 14 million impressions (yes, you read that right).
The most important thing to make your thread go viral is to cover a topic of general interest , so that when it reaches a lot of people, it will still be interesting to almost everyone.
If we upload a thread about something technical, it is likely that when we reach new audiences the viral effect will slow down, since the new audience will not be interested in sharing it.
Upload posts with memes
Memes have been an insatiable source of likes and shares for years . They are ideal for making your post go viral.
If possible, create memes that are your own and as closely related to your area of expertise as possible . For example, this Apple news account posts iPhone-related memes like these:
As you can see, it has a high impact on Twitter/X with almost 20,000 impressions thanks to the fact that it matches the type of audience that follows it . Thus, it improves the chances of going viral and gaining new followers.
Post every day to show interest and activity
While posting every day won't guarantee you more followers, it will increase your chances of having your content go viral . If you post once a week, you'll only have one chance per week to gain visibility.
In addition to this, when someone visits your profile and notices that you upload 3 posts a day (for example), you will give the impression of being at the forefront of the sector , constantly sharing interesting things.
If you can achieve that effect on those who come to you, you can be sure that you will gain many real followers for free.
There is nothing more gratifying than entering a Twitter/X account, seeing that it is active, and that everything it uploads is interesting.
Try different formats, and stick with the best one
In the previous tip I mentioned that it is positive to publish every day to show that you are active and to have a greater chance of a post going viral.
Well, the following advice is related, and I not only recommend that you publish a lot, but also in various formats :
Reflections
Memes
News
Threads
Images or videos
The key here is to repeat the type of post that generates the most interactions .
To see the posts that have had the most impact you can use Twitter or X Analytics , which is free and official, although there are other tools for Twitter or X.
Twitter X Analytics to measure performance
For example, do memes work well for you ? Or making threads with the news of the day ?
Well then, replicate them and take advantage of that strong point .
Mention other references in images
Not many people know this, but when you upload an image to Twitter/X you can tag other accounts .
Tag people on Twitter or X
When you do this, those users will be notified that someone has tagged them in the image , so you will get their attention in a very discreet way.
Plus, if the content is about them, you'll have a perfect opportunity for them to share that post with their community. This way, you'll reach other audiences who don't know you yet.
Referents on Twitter or X
This strategy is very effective if you use it wisely, so we recommend that you use the power of images and video to go viral and mention other people who can relate to it or want to share it.
Upload original media content
It has been proven, after analyzing the social network's algorithm, that adding external links harms the reach of your posts.
So you should not link directly to YouTube or other websites from your main tweet.
On the contrary, uploading original images and videos will improve your reach , since the social network will reward you for uploading unique content to it.
Not only will the algorithm itself benefit you, but multimedia content is also much more attractive for people to share, increasing the chances of going viral.
Don't pay attention to myths to grow
For years, several myths have been established that supposedly help you grow , but that actually don't work at all.
Instead, you should follow these tips:
Automations can really help you organize your account, as it is always a good idea to know what you are posting and when you are posting it.
Always avoid publishing content that you have not previously read , and therefore you do not know if it adds value. Also, if you make an incorrect summary of a news story, you will project an image of unprofessionalism.
Avoid giving automatic responses, such as automatic Direct Messages, automatic mentions, etc.
Don't follow too many people a day , as the social network could also limit your account. Don't be in a hurry to increase the number of followers, as this number will increase on its own if you put all your effort into making it a leading communication channel in your sector.
Be patient
Growing on Twitter or X is not achieved overnight. It is a goal that requires patience , usually several months, until you reach thousands of followers.
However, thanks to the tips we have shared with you in this guide, we hope you will speed up this process and be able to obtain them faster.
