I've been getting more and more results on Twitter by the day. Consequently, I've been studying successful accounts more closely to see what it is that they're doing exactly.

Some of these accounts have shown insane growth.

Surely the first thought is "they're buying followers". There's an easy way to check this: How much interaction do they have on their tweets?

An account with 5k followers and gets barely any likes, retweets, or replies to their tweets... That's usually a sign that most of their followers aren't even active accounts.

So I've only looked at accounts that get A TON of interaction with their tweets.

Here are a few interesting numbers.

(Twitter Account: @HIAliving)

This account is 1 week old (I know because I've followed them the first day when it was created). It also says "Joined April 2020".

After only 1 week they have already way over 100 followers, 149 to be precise. This is an impressive feat if you've ever tried to do some Twittering from scratch!

The number I want you to focus on is this though: 576 total tweets posted already.

576 tweets divided by 7 days = ~82 tweets per day.

Let's look at another one.

(Twitter Account: @InvestmentTalkk)

This account was created in February this year. Assuming it was created at the beginning of February, it is only 3 months old by now.

It has already over 5k followers, even getting close to 6k. To be precise, it has almost 5.7k followers - and this after only 3 months of tweeting!!

But once again, the key number is at the very top: 7'383 total tweets.

So let's assume this account was created at the beginning of February, as already said that's 3 months ago which means roughly 90 days.

7'383 tweets divided by 90 days = ~82 tweets per day

DO YOU NOTICE SOMETHING?? :)

Sorry for the capslock but isn't this insane?! That's a HUGE volume of tweets per day. Granted, the fact that both accounts have the same number of daily tweets on average (82 tweets per day), that's probably a coincidence.

But what it means is that a HIGH VOLUME of tweets is key.

What counts as a tweet?

• Your tweets,
• Your replies to other tweets,
• Your re-tweets of other tweets.

(Likes and DMs don't count as tweets.)

CONCLUSION:

Growing on Twitter fast seems very possible. And the benefits & payoff are insane. Can you imagine having 5k followers in 3 months from now?

Of course it is based on consistent work: 80 tweets per day is no small feat.

That's why I've invested in a little piece of software that allows me to schedule my tweets on a calendar and it posts them for me automatically. So I sit down for an hour to write all my tweets for the whole day and don't have to constantly log onto Twitter.

Funny enough, when I check the tweets of my favorite big accounts, they use the same software as I do now. If you're interested in what it is, send me a private message please. I don't want to use this article to promote something outside of WA.

YOUR TURN NOW:

I hope this little research inspires you to go out and create massive content - for whichever platform you're working on!

I'm sure the same lesson applies everywhere: Write a lot, and then write more. Get your content out there!

UPDATE: I just learned that Tweetdeck is integrated into Twitter. One of the features is that you can schedule your tweets to be posted at any date & time in the future. Extremely useful for tweeting more efficiently and posting more in way less time! I use a different tool with more features but if all you want is scheduling tweets, Tweetdeck is free & integrated.
