Here’s the Exact System That Finally Turns Effort Into Followers

Hey, unicorns! 👋

You keep posting. Replying. Hustling.

But still not seeing results...

To be honest, we’ve all been there.

And it’s not because you’re not working hard enough.

It’s because when you work without a real growth system, all that effort gets lost.

That’s why today, I’m sharing the exact engagement system I use daily to grow my account in a predictable way. 👇

🦄 The TUP 𝕏 Engagement System (2025 Edition)

Here’s how to set up a system that actually turns replies into real growth:

Step 1: Find Your Engagement Targets

Replying to random people won’t help you grow your account.

You need to engage where your target audience already hangs out, aka with creators in your broad niche who’ve already done the hard work of building this audience.

Start by creating private 𝕏 Lists.

Group accounts by size:

Under 1K (future allies)
1K–10K (rising creators)
10K–50K (niche leaders)
50K+ (visibility boosters)

Spend an evening, find and add 10 accounts to each list.

Step 2: Daily Engagement Routine

Consistency beats intensity.

You don’t need hours—you just need small daily sessions where you actually show up.

Block 15 minutes, 3–4 times a day.

Each time, reply to a mix: a few accounts for reach, a few mid accounts to build your network, and a few smaller accounts for support and mutual engagement.

This balance keeps you visible at every level—and helps you build relationships naturally over time.

Step 3: Reply Like a Pro

Lazy comments & replies don’t build trust—or momentum.

Real replies do.

Instead of dropping “great post,” add something that moves the conversation forward.

You can share a quick insight, ask a smart question, tell a short story, or even respectfully offer a different view.

The goal: every reply should feel strong enough to stand as a separate tweet.

Step 4: Monthly Growth Sessions

Your engagement lists are a living system, not a set-it-and-forget-it.

Every month, audit them.

Remove accounts that have gone inactive, promote real connections into a special “network” list, and add fresh voices you discover along the way.

Keeping your lists sharp keeps your growth compounding.

This is the simple system I use daily to grow faster, without burning out.
