10 months ago I had 700 followers.

Today I have over 40k friends here.

Here are 29 tips to grow a small account:

Tip:
Quantity leads to quality

Explanation:

Tip:
Engage with "Notch Above" accounts

Explanation:
Don't flock to Naval's tweets. Find someone a step ahead of you (e.g. if you're at 500, target an account with 2,000.) They just did what your next step is. Build that relationship.

Tip:
Analyze formats and patterns

Explanation:
Content is king, but format is queen. Find different styles to format your posts and unique ways of saying things. Notice the patterns that successful accounts follow.

Tip
Study the writing of great accounts

Explanation:
Compile a list of accounts you personally like. What is it about their writing that sticks with you? What frameworks do they use for writing? Twitter is all about interesting writing.
