I grew my account from 1,400 followers to 13,500+
In less than 3 months.
I didn't run paid ads
I didn't talk about Chat GPT
I didn't do freebie giveaways
And IDGAF about the algorithm.
Here's my 9 steps for predictable growth:

Here's my 9 steps for predictable growth:
1. Have Something Interesting To Say
The market rewards interesting.
Interesting means:
- Entertaining
- Educational
- Inspiring
But most importantly, have a unique perspective.
The best way to do that?
Be unapologetically and authentically you.

2. Pareto Principle for Growth
80% of your growth will come from 20% of your content.
In my case, it was 3 threads that drove +9,000 followers.
The trick?
Get on base every day.
But know it only takes a few bangers to knock out of the park.
You just won't know which.

3. Write Threads
Oh, the algorithm likes long reads?
Guess who else does?
Humans.
If your storytelling is juicy
you can keep readers hooked
and their fingers scrolling.
The goal?
Lead the reader down the page
and hooked on every word.
But more importantly...

4. Craft Compelling Hooks
The hook is the headline.
Think of it as the curb appeal of a home.
You can have an Architecture Digest worthy home interior but if the outside is ugly...
Nobody's coming in.

5. Respect The Reader
Write at a 5th grade reading level.
Actually, write at a 3rd grade level.
But don't disrespect the reader.
Most writing online is either self-indulgent or too obvious.
Be different.
Teach something.
Combine different ideas.
But use simple words.

6. Vulnerability Is Your Gift
Few are daring enough to be vulnerable.
That's the arbitrage.
Humans love vulnerability.
It's courageous.
It's real.
It's raw.
That deep dark part of your past you're afraid to talk about?
Write about that.

7. Nobody Cares About You
Wait, didn't you say to be vulnerable?
Yes, but...
You must write to the reader.
Their emotions.
Their dreams.
Their fears.
Your vulnerability cements you as the one they want to listen to.
But if your writing is all Me Me Me
you lost the reader.

8. Don't Reinvent The Wheel
Look at what works and make it better.
If a topic is performing well, it's validated.
The more effort you put into your version,
the better your version will perform.

9. Build Relationships
Working hard to craft good threads and still no engagement?
It's because you have no friends.
Spend time meeting, connecting, and make friends with real people on here.
Oh. Wait.
Is that networking?
Isn't networking stupid?
