A mentor once said something that completely changed how I made post here on X. He she said that follower count is a vanity metric. Over the days, I've been chasing followers, I've been telling myself "I need to get more than 10k followers before I get the engagement I deserve" But deep down, I was deceiving myself because followers doesn't equal impact. The day I believe followers count doesn't equals engagement was the day I stumbled on an account with more than 30k follower that barely got 1k impressions on their post, no engagement, no bookmark. At this point, I asked myself "why's this account not booming despite this number of followers?" Just as I was fast to ask, I got the answer for myself. The content. People interact with content that is simple, relatable, tells story, and content that gives drives debate. To make the shock on me worse, I made a post, it got traction far more better than some big accounts. More than 60 quotes, more than 20 repost, more than 150k impressions. I was really shocked because I didn't believe I could pull these metrics from an account of 2.6k followers. That was when it hit, followers doesn't equal impact. The post that gets traction not only come from creators with 200k+ followers, it can come from an account with 1k followers. You just need to make it simple, relatable, storytelling, debating, and watch out for the traction it'll bring. If you're still in the era you believe you need to get more followers to perform numbers, then you're still in my past. Have you ever thought that follower count determine your success? And what made you believe otherwise? Share it, we want to learn.
