You need to find a niche you are interested in and focus on it
E.g. finance, fashion, travel, etc.
Adjust your profile by adding a profile picture and banner that will show someone what your profile is about and why they should follow you.
This year I started writing daily on Twitter about finance and investing and gained more than 500 followers in 2 weeks
Here are the main things I learned on Twitter growth
1. Brand
2. Content
3. Engagement
4. Networking
5. Tools

You need to find a niche you are interested in and focus on it
E.g. finance, fashion, travel, etc.
Adjust your profile by adding a profile picture and banner that will show someone what your profile is about and why they should follow you.
Don't wait to gain followers before posting. Nobody will follow you if they see an empty feed.
Start posting daily focusing more on single tweets or threads that provide insights on a topic people in your niche might be interested in.
Have a pinned tweet, which will be your best one that will catch the attention of someone visiting your profile.
Follow accounts in your niche and start interacting with them on a daily basis.
Comment on their tweets and retweet them.
It's better to quote-tweet than retweet.
Don't just regurgitate their tweet as most people do.
You can also answer with one of your tweets or threads.
Adding images to your tweets also helps.
Start connecting with some accounts
You can send DMs to ask questions or thank them for the insights they provided you.
Don't hesitate to ask for help when you are getting started.
Remember they were at your exact position when they first started.

The Mother of All Squeezes
How Volkswagen went from being on the brink of bankruptcy to the most valuable company in the world in two days
/THREAD/
1/ At the peak of the 2008 financial crisis, Volkswagen was considered a very likely candidate for bankruptcy.
Heavily indebted and already financially struggling before 2008, with car sales expected to plummet due to the ongoing global crisis.
2/ With GM and Chrysler filing for bankruptcy in 2009, shorting the VW stock would seem a safe bet.
If you are not familiar with stock shorts and short squeezes check my thread
3/ On October 26, 2008, Porsche announced it had increased its stake at VW from 30% to 74%.
This was a surprise to many who were led to believe that Porsche wasn't planning a takeover of VW, based on the company's announcements.
4/ Before the announcement, the short interest was approximately 13% of the outstanding shares, a number considered relatively low.
Porsche had a 30% stake, the Lower Saxony government fund held 20% of the shares, and another 5% was held by index funds.

To people who are under the impression that you can get rich quickly by working on an app, here are the stats for https://t.co/az8F12pf02

I have spent 1.5 months on this app. You can make more $ in 2 days.

I'm still happy that I launched a paid app bcs it involved extra work:
- backend for processing payments (+ permissions, webhooks, etc)
- integration with payment processor
- UI for license activation in Electron
- machine activation limit
- autoupdates
- mailgun emails
etc.
These things seemed super scary at first. I always thought it was way too much work and something would break. But I'm glad I persisted. So far the only problem I have is that mailgun is not delivering the license keys to certain domains like https://t.co/6Bqn0FUYXo etc. π
omg I just realized that me . com is an Apple domain, of course something wouldn't work with these dicks
