Introduction

In this section, I want to go over how you can build an audience on Twitter because doing this was the best thing I did as a developer.

1. Engage with bigger accounts in your niche

This is the most important thing you can do at the beginning

Don't start by posting 10 tweets because no one will see them

Start by adding value with your replies to other bigger accounts from your niche.

2. Respond to everyone that engages with you

No matter how many followers the person that replies to your tweets has, respond to them

Form connections, answer the questions you get

People want to see that there is a human behind the account they decide to follow

3. Give value

If you want to build an audience you need to switch the focus from you to them

Share resources, respond to the questions you get, give tips, share your work

Tweet about whatever you want but make sure that you give value

4. Stop using hashtags after you reach1000 followers

Hashtags make you tweets look spamming

If you have more than 3 hashtags in your tweets 50% of the people that see those tweets will scroll through

Use at max 2 hashtags until you reach 1k followers

After that drop them

5. Share your wins/loses
