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.

Here are the main things I learned on Twitter growth
1. Brand

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.
