Hey, unicorns! 👋

If you’ve been grinding on 𝕏 and are still stuck under 1K followers... this one’s for you.

This week’s post breaks down what’s actually working in 2025—and why most creators stay invisible no matter how often they tweet.

Spoiler Alert: it’s not about threads, hacks, or viral luck.

It’s about having a system. One that turns random posts into predictable growth.

The full breakdown is a massive 4,000-word guide (free to read anytime on the blog)…

…but I’ll try to squeeze a few key takeaways into this newsletter so you can walk away with something useful today. 👇

🦄 How to Increase Twitter (𝕏) Followers in 2025

📌 Profile First. Always.

You don’t grow by tweeting more.
You grow by converting more profile visits into follows.

That means your bio, pinned tweet, and banner need to work together like a landing page.

Here’s what top creators do:

Niche down hard ("AI" → "AI tools for solopreneurs")

Craft a clear value-driven bio (not vibes, not fluff)
Use a pinned tweet to prove you’re worth following
Turn the banner into a callout or social proof

Tiny fixes here = big wins.

Your timeline gets the click.

Your profile gets the follow.

💬 Conversations > Content

Most tweets flop because they don’t spark replies.

And in 2025, replies are the algorithm’s love language.

One thoughtful comment on the right post can get more reach than your own tweets.
That’s why the smartest creators aren’t just posting—they’re showing up in replies every day.

Not with spam. Not with “great thread!”
With actual takes, insights, and personality.

The result? More impressions, more profile clicks, more followers.
And it works even if you have 200 followers right now.

That’s just 2 of the 10 steps.

The full system covers content formats, hook formulas, consistency routines, and how to reverse-engineer viral growth with zero guesswork.

One guide. Ten steps. Built for 2025.
Let’s grow.

P.S. Most people aren’t stuck because they’re not good enough. They’re stuck because no one ever gave them a system. Now you have one.
