How to Win the Twitter Game?


I am using Twitter for around 10 years yet still don’t have any community or enough followers. Every other article about this is generic and doesn’t give any insights. How can I win the Twitter game?

  2.a) Don't make them think too hard. 

  2.b) Confirm their biases.

  3.c) Be mildly witty

Enough followers for what? What do you hope to accomplish by using Twitter?

I have no first hand experience, but presumably there is an algorithm making recommendations of tweets to users. I would very much expect big accounts to carry some weight. So perhaps one approach is to follow many big accounts that have similar interests, comment often, hopeful get followed, and eventually get comments to you tweets, which then get seen by big fish followers.

Unlike the other commenters here, there are many resources for growing your Twitter audience. Tldr, make cool content, tweet about niches, and reply to everyone.

Check out @dvassallo for more info, and search on IndieHackers for how to grow your Twitter audience. I can't post the links right now.
