Posts with media make up 28% of this collection. Their median all-time score is 21.6, compared with 13.2 for text-only posts.
Format mix
Consensus and debate
Shared view
Multiple posts recommend early, substantive replies in relevant conversations rather than relying only on standalone posts.
Shared view
Creators advocate sustained, reciprocal engagement: support commenters, participate across a relevant peer set, and avoid treating replies as link drops.
Shared view
Several posts outline routines combining publishing, outbound comments, and response follow-up; one also presents batching as a way to reduce task switching.
Shared view
Posts recommend testing hooks, reply styles, or formats; reviewing top posts; and repeating patterns that performed well for the creator.
Open debate
One account reports follower growth with no MRR before shifting effort to other channels. Other posts report X milestones, customers, partnerships, or earnings alongside their X activity.
Open debate
Some posts prescribe intensive reply and posting cadences or doubled output, while others argue that more activity is not always the answer and recommend quality, spacing, or authentic participation.
Open debate
One post presents truthful revenue sharing as a credibility signal, while another argues that prospective clients want useful client evidence rather than X-growth updates.
What performs
The highest-scoring supplied post argues that early, smarter replies can outperform a creator’s own posts. Its all-time score is 187.03, or 11.72 times the supplied median.
The post reporting seven months of X growth has an all-time score of 160.02, or 10.03 times the supplied median.

Today makes it exactly 7 month since I started my X growth. In just 7 month, we've grown to 51.3K followers. Thank you to everyone who followed, read, commented, shared and supported me along the way. I'm grateful you're here. I've been documenting everything that's helped me grow and soon, I'm putting it all into a practical X article.
@stacy_muur ·
Hot take: For founders, it's CRITICAL to grow on X. But 90% of emerging founders I know waste time on the wrong people. 10 things I’d do if I had to start from 0 as a founder ↓ 1. Ignore accounts with 20K+ followers 2. Build a list of 20 reachable people 3. Reply to them daily 4. Quote their posts instead of writing your own 5. DM anyone who notices you 6. Track who responds and who doesn’t 7. Drop people who ignore you 8. Double down on people who engage 9. Reuse content that works 10. Stay consistent for 14 days Early growth on X isn’t about content. It’s about attention loops & building a network.
@TheAhmadOsman ·
Someone asked me: how could I grow on X without selling my soul? 1. Build rapport over a long period of time with people who: A) Have the kind of audience you want to reach. B) Actually know your space deeply or understand a parallel space well enough to recognize good work. The trick is simple: > Engage consistently. In a meaningful and intelligent way. People who only showing up to drop links to their projects are usually ignored; who wants to feel used without being talked to and? > Remember that quantity matters alongside quality >> that means engaging often and engaging with more than one person >> sometimes it can be a joke or a simple lmao Other times it should be a genuinely insightful reply that shows you know what you're talking about. - DO NOT only engage with me - Find many people with similar interests and show up meaningfully for all of them - Keep doing it over an extended period of time - Eventually one of them will notice something especially good and quote tweet you That's when the growth becomes superlinear.
@BobogeeX ·
Here's a simple X growth tip: After you make a post, don't go offline. If someone comments on your post, visit their profile and support their content too. The benefit of this: • More people will notice you. • You'll build better connections. • You'll get more profile visits. • You'll become more active on X. Growth on X is not just about posting. It's also about showing up for other people.
@WavesOceannn ·
The X growth blind spot most creators have: They focus only on what they post, but ignore how they show up in other people’s threads. Your replies are often more powerful than your own tweets. They’re where real relationships and visibility are born. Master your replies.
@athcanft ·
u might not like hearing this but a great way to grow on X is by posting MRR porn it’s cringe & a lot of people fake it, but if you’re doing even $500 a month, it shows people you’re real - and gives others inspiration don’t fake it obviously - the truth always comes around but if you’ve got even just a little success - there are plenty of people who will follow you because you know something they don’t

I quit X. Then I came back and became a full-time creator in 4 months. I also hit my first $10k month in less than a year on X. Then I crashed. And rebuilt my business in a more aligned way. Here are 10 mistakes I made that you need to stop making to become a full-time creator: 1. Wanting to do it by myself X is a community. You need others to grow. Especially at the start. Leave lots of comments and build connections with cool people. 2. Focusing on cost instead of opportunity cost 99% look at the cost of something. 1% look at the opportunity cost of not doing something. Don't look at what something costs. Look at what it gives you. 3. Not focusing on writing formatting Writing is like dating. It needs to look good to get people interested. I call this Aesthetic Writing. It's about optimizing your writing formatting. This makes your content easy to read and boosts your engagement. 4. Not batch-producing You have a limited amount of mental energy. Every time you switch between tasks, you lose a little bit. That's why batch-producing your tweets is powerful. You only have to spend 1-2 deep work blocks per week on it. This frees up a lot of mental energy. 5. Thinking I needed 100,000 followers to monetize. You only need 2 things to monetize: 1) Something to sell 2) People to sell it to So you don't need 100,000 followers to make money. You need 1,000+ followers and a valuable offer. 6. Not having an email list 90% of my revenue came from email last year. • Easier to sell • Easier to connect • Easier to build trust Start building your email list. 7. Comparing myself to others Comparison is the thief of joy. You should only compare yourself to 2 people: 1) Your past self 2) Your potential self Outcompete the former and compete withe the latter. 8. Doubting myself Here's a secret I learned after talking to 5 millionaires: Nobody has it all figured out. They just try stuff and improve consistently. They're not geniuses - they're just extremely persistent. 9. Overthinking my niche You don't need to limit yourself to one topic. Your niche evolves over time. Focus on solving 1 problem for 1 person. Talk about any topic relevant for solving it. 10. Thinking others could tell me exactly what I needed to do Nobody can tell you what will work for you. They can only tell you what worked for them. This is useful. But it's their path, not yours. Listen to mentors, but forge your own path. It's ok to feel lost because it's a sign you're forging your own path. Keep going, you'll figure it out. – Stijn PS: for more, check out: 1) My Free Newsletter.

@alexcooldev ·
I just realized one of the easiest ways to grow on X: Re-tweet your old viral tweets every 1–2 months. Most of your new followers have never seen them nobody’s scrolling through thousands of your old tweets. You don’t need new ideas every day. You just need to remind people why they followed you in the first place. 😌
@leonabboud ·
X growth hack: Double how much content your publish. Last year, I ran an experiment. "What would happen if I doubled my content output?" I tried it. The results? My account doubled in reach and follower growth. Do it, the algo does not nerf you for volume.
@AnthonyGaenzle ·
You don’t need to post all day to grow on X. You need to post something that makes people stop and think. Something worth stopping for. Then, stick around and have real conversations with the people. More activity isn’t always the answer. The real key is better, more authentic action.
@Lipstick_Logic ·
My 3 Months stats on posts/ replies 👇🏻 • Average number of posts per day: 6 • Average number of replies per day: 100 This is what the data says: 1. When you are a small account (less than 5000 followers) , limit the number of times you post in a day. 2. Give breathing space to your posts. Don't keep posting every hour. A space of 3-4 hours helps a lot. Try it. 3. Focus on being a reply guy - 100 replies per day during growth is the minimum. 4. 100 replies breakdown is something similar for me. You need to find your proportion. ~ 50 Replies on my posts ~ 25 Replies on my X favourite mutuals (yes, I have a list) ~ 15 Replies on new faces - kind, welcoming, open ended. Not nice post, good morning, I agree etc. ~ 10 Replies on big account in your niche, for me that's Football (you need to find yours) 5. Revisit the stretegy every week, if it doesn't work, drop it and pivot. For more X growth hacks, you know what to do next.
@kzitouni1 ·
my 1hr/day X growth routine that brought me 2,100 followers in 12 weeks: - open X - reply to comments - do 15-20 comments - publish my post - close the laptop, go to the gym repeat 2-3x/day don't overthink it pro tip: have 3 designated posting spots everyday when twitter activity is peak

HOW TO GROW ON X AS A FOUNDER IN 2026 1. Get known for one thing - The founders who grow are the ones you can describe in a single sentence. If people can't tell what you stand for, they don't follow, they scroll. 2. Talk to a specific person, not everyone - Content built to appeal to everyone connects with no one. The narrower you go, the more the right people feel like you're speaking directly to them. 3. Distribution beats the post itself - The best content in the world dies if no one sees it. Being in the right conversations every day matters more than any single thing you publish. 4. Sound like a human - AI content all sounds the same now and people feel it instantly. The founders who win write like they actually talk, with real opinions and real experience. 5. Join the viral conversations in your industry - Every week there are conversations your buyers are already watching. When you show up in those with a real take, you borrow that attention instead of trying to build it from scratch. It's the fastest way to get in front of the right people who have never heard of you. 6. Study what works, then do more of it - Every post is data. Pay attention to what actually lands with your audience and build on it instead of guessing every week. 7. Give away your best stuff for free - The instinct to hold back your best ideas is what keeps founders invisible. The more genuinely useful you are, the faster trust compounds. 8. Have real opinions - Content that could have been written by anyone gets ignored. A clear point of view is what makes people remember you and come back. 9. Play the long game - The founders you admire didn't blow up overnight. They showed up for years while everyone else quit in month three. 10. Trust is the actual asset - Attention is cheap now. Anyone can get views. The thing that turns an audience into a business is whether the right people actually trust you. Bonus: A small audience that trusts you completely is worth more than a massive one that doesn't know what you stand for. Growing on X was never about going viral. It's about becoming the name people think of when they're ready to buy.
@Be_nnedictt ·
Last client I signed thought it was impossible to still grow on X He was in crypto so he was only talking about his behind the scenes and spamming GM posts We added a founder's pov insight , personality , good hooks and some good authority elements It took him from 186 to 500 followers in 1 week ........ Which is insane because we did it without paid ads and reply engagement farming . ------------------ You can still grow easily on X now if you have authentic thoughts Don't believe the timeline
@ItsNessaOnX ·
There seems to be a growing misconception that buying engagement, using bot networks, or dropping posts into large out of niche engagement groups is a harmless way to grow on X. It isn't. X has become significantly better at identifying coordinated and inauthentic engagement patterns. When a post suddenly receives large amounts of likes, reposts, or replies from accounts that have no genuine relationship with the author, especially from accounts outside the creator's normal audience, that activity becomes a signal rather than a boost. What can happen? - Reduced reach and distribution. - Loss of recommendation eligibility. - Devaluation of artificial engagement. - Temporary visibility limitations. - In more serious or repeated cases, account suspension. There is another group that should pay attention. Marketing platforms that facilitate, or encourage coordinated artificial engagement are not immune. If a service is built around helping users manipulate platform signals instead of reaching genuine audiences, it also creates risk for itself. Platforms that knowingly enable this behavior can become targets of X's enforcement efforts, potentially leading to restrictions on the service and contributing to enforcement actions against participating accounts. If your marketing strategy depends on thousands of unrelated accounts interacting with your content within minutes, that isn't audience building. It's creating an evidence trail. Shortcuts often become the fastest route to losing everything you've built.
@avijeet_writes ·
You can't gain 100 followers every day if you keep doing this mistake again and again in your Twitter personal branding. People say you can't grow on Twitter now as you would have two years ago. But look at my clients' daily follower count. Almost 100 people are following them every day. I have figured out why you can't increase your following despite having such amazing views and impressions. It is due to generalisation. Twitter is now prioritising niche-based accounts to grow followers. This client of mine is from a finance background. They only post one piece of content daily and do not engage with anyone. And still, every day they are gaining this many followers despite fewer than 50,000 views daily. If you want views, if you want impressions, if you want engagement, be niche less. But if you want to grow followers, pick one interest and talk about that only every single day. It will train the algorithm and the people who are interested in a particular topic. Your account will be shown only to them, and it will increase the conversion ratio from views to followers.
@hustle_fred ·
my monthly traffic 5x'd since launch🚀 here's the exact strategy that made it happen and how i'm planning to 10x it by end of year: when you're starting out, pick 1-2 channels max and go all in, spreading too thin kills quality i went all in on X first (makes sense, i'm building an X growth tool) with SEO as my secondary now that X is consistently bringing traffic every month, i am adding more channels - going all in on SEO/GEO - activating YouTube as secondary - building out separate SupaBird channels across every major platform with educational content but whatever you do the real challenge is always consistency without consistency all of this is useless
@Mike_Scully_ ·
The real X growth playbook (no one admits this): 0–500 → Be a reply demon 500–2k → Niche bangers only 2–5k → Shameless hooks + face posts 5–10k → Authority threads 10–25k → Slightly cringe “value” 25–50k → Shitposts that accidentally slap 50–75k → Vague wisdom tweets 75–100k → Polished cringe bangers 100k+ → Say one wrong thing and get cancelled There is no clean path. There is no “authentic” phase. You earn the right to be taken seriously after you grow. Play the game or stay invisible.
@Krish_RC_ ·
Want more followers on X ? Spend less time refreshing analytics. Spend more time leaving valuable replies. That's where growth starts. The X growth formula is simple: Post for your audience. Reply for discovery. Every valuable reply introduces your profile to a new audience. Replying is free marketing. Do both consistently, and growth becomes inevitable.
@isumitallup ·
"What's the best growth strategy for X?" Wrong question. The real question is: "What are you doing with the attention you already have?" 50 people liked your post last week: You replied to 0 of them You sent a DM to 0 of them You followed up with 0 of them Then you asked Claude "how to grow on X." The algorithm already did its job. You didn't do yours.
@Mf360WW ·
X Growth: Do's & Don'ts (Especially for Finance Creators) 📊 ✅ DO's • Publish original, research-backed content. • Add charts, data, and your own analysis. • Write thoughtful replies that contribute to the discussion. • Engage naturally with creators whose content you genuinely value. • Post consistently instead of chasing volume. • Prioritize credibility, accuracy, and meaningful conversations. • Verify information before sharing or reposting. • Build trust first—reach follows over time. ❌ DON'Ts • Don't flood posts with one-word or emoji-only replies just for visibility. • Don't copy-paste the same comment across multiple posts. • Don't mass-like, mass-reply, or mass-repost to game engagement. • Don't use misleading or sensational content solely to attract clicks. • Don't rely on engagement groups or artificial amplification tactics. • Don't spam hashtags, mentions, or irrelevant keywords. • Don't sacrifice content quality for posting frequency. The best long-term growth strategy is simple: Create value. Engage authentically. Stay consistent. Algorithms evolve, but credibility compounds. 🚀 #ContentCreators #FinanceTwitter

how to grow on X, in 5 documented playbooks: 1. run a 10:1 reply ratio. the fastest sprint I found went 30 to 1,100 followers in 14 days. peak day: 18 posts, 259 replies. small accounts first, they reply back. 2. be early on big accounts. notifications on, reply inside 5 minutes with something real. a decent reply in minute three beats a brilliant one in hour three. 3. quote-tweet one-liners. one six-word QT did 39K likes and 2.8M views and cleared X's 5M-impression monetization bar. 4. remix winners. filter your community by most liked, study the hook, rebuild it in your voice. my most-bookmarked post ever was a remixed shape, not an original idea. 5. batch it. 15 to 20 tweets in one sitting, one a day. a month of presence in 4 hours a week. every number above comes from a builder who documented it.
@adrien_brbr ·
I followed X growth advice for 2 months straight. Reply to 50 people a day. Post 3 times. Build in public. Thread on Mondays. My follower count went up. My MRR stayed at $0. Then I stopped. Closed X for most of the day. Spent that time on cold outreach, Reddit, affiliates, and talking to people who might actually pay. $500 MRR in 3 weeks. The X growth playbook grows your X account. It doesn't grow your business.
@notmiramurati ·
Looked through the X growth landscape, and most tools solve only one part of the problem: > write more content > find viral tweets > analyze what worked before Almost none help you answer the question founders actually have: “Where is my audience’s attention moving right now?” So you end up optimizing your brand inside your own bubble instead of joining the conversations shaping your market Prediction: the next generation of GTM tools will move toward situational marketing
@Great_com2025 ·
how to make posts that actually grow on x: - write a strong hook - keep the text structure clean - goon with your frens for 2 mins - use a picture that stops the scroll - add a CTA (ragebait or humor works well) - reply to every comment for the first 15 mins i use this strategy every day. it works.
@smartlinkpro10 ·
just wrapped up a 1-week x growth experiment for smart link and wanted to share a quick update. i ran a trial with a freelancer to handle reply marketing. mid-week, we realized blind volume is bad for reach, so we pivoted the strategy: strictly 3-5 replies a day, only on highly relevant posts with 8k+ views. no spam, just pure value-driven replies. the guy i worked with, @AlameenDuale , completely nailed it. he understood the assignment instantly, didn't act like a bot, and crafted genuinely good replies that fit the context perfectly. i'm pausing outreach to put 100% of my focus back on the backend and product right now, so i can't bring him on full-time just yet. but if any founders or indie hackers out there need a smart, adaptable guy to run their x engagement and organic growth, you should absolutely talk to him. highly recommend.
@GammaVibe ·
Just crossed a nice milestone: 100 followers! 🎉 I realize that's not much, in absolute terms. But to me, it reaffirms my decision to invest in X growth. It's only been about a month since I decided to take X more seriously, and I tripled my follower base from ~30 to 100 in that period. Previously, I had posted the occasional promotional update or half-hearted attempts at building in public. For several months, I also automatically generated daily posts from my GammaVibe startup idea pipeline. I thought these were cool and interesting, but I now realize they were just AI slop, and there's already enough of that on the platform. I'm glad I turned those off last month. I'm still finding my rhythm here, but I've been aiming for a good balance of my own content and engaging in replies. I'll keep experimenting with different formats and content, everything from build-in-public content for my various projects, fun little experiments, observations and opinions, and occasional personal updates, as I'm not trying to build a faceless brand here. Now on to the next milestone: 1000!
@bmykhaylivvv ·
Just hit $500 MRR with AmpliFresh! 🚀 Built this content amplification tool in my spare time over 3 months. The idea came from watching great content get buried in feeds while mediocre posts went viral. Started with a simple MVP - automated cross-posting with smart timing. Added content optimization suggestions based on engagement patterns. Nothing revolutionary, just solving a real problem I had as a creator. The growth surprised me. From 200 to 2200 Twitter followers in 40 days by sharing the build process openly. Transparency beats marketing every time. --- Product-market fit feels different than I expected. Instead of explosive growth, it's been steady organic adoption. Users finding AmpliFresh through word of mouth, not paid ads. They stick around because it actually saves them 2-3 hours weekly. The feature requests are getting more sophisticated. People want deeper analytics, team collaboration, AI-powered content suggestions. Good problem to have. Revenue breakdown: 47 paying users, $10.60 average monthly. Churn is low at 4%. Server costs under $80/month. --- Biggest mistake: building features users asked for vs features they actually needed. Spent 2 weeks on a content calendar nobody uses. Meanwhile, the simple "best time to post" algorithm drives 80% of user engagement. Now I ship smaller, test faster. Weekly releases instead of monthly. Users appreciate the momentum. The technical stack is boring by design - Rails, Postgres, Redis. Boring scales, fancy breaks. --- Twitter growth hack that actually worked: reply thoughtfully to bigger accounts in your space. Not generic praise. Real insights, questions, or data that adds value to their conversation. Takes more effort but builds genuine connections. Shared revenue milestones, user feedback, technical challenges. People follow the journey, not just the destination. Next milestone: $1K MRR by end of quarter. The foundation is solid, time to accelerate.
