@viktoroddy the 0-500 phase is the hardest mentally. tagging bigger accounts feels desperate until it suddenly works

A lot of people have been asking me how I actually grew on X…
In my experience, the path to grow on X is extremely simple:
0-500: tag bigger accounts so they will repost your content and share you to their entire audience, that’s the real accelerator
500-3000: do giveaways/lead magnets. It’s either product, service, or information
3000-10000: download Tweet Hunter Chrome Extension, analyze the most viral posts of people in your niche, then replicate them
10000+: just experiment with the content. Below 10k you’re big enough for virality but not big enough for people to overthink you. Perfect time to test.

@sherifgjini finishing what I start. picking ideas is easy. shipping is where it gets weird

@xaviroca1 Most founders build a brand for who they want to be 3 years from now. The ones who actually build an audience show up as who they are right now, mess and all.
English
Your personal brand should not just be a tool to “get to,” but an expression of “who you are while you go”.

@therahulissar eCom never left. People who said it was dead just had bad offers and blamed the market instead of fixing their product.

@avijeet_writes Building something of your own will never feel like that. Worst day running my agency still beats 3 hours in someone else's meeting about someone else's goals.

Tired af...
A total of 3 hours in a meeting today!
Glad I am not in corporates where this is everyday normal.

@atharvcreates Some of the product cards could use some work too, thanks for the feedback. How’s the audio translation, took some tweaking to make it sound as smooth as possible with elevenlabs

@ishverduzco Most founders we work with think the goal is reach. Then they get a viral post, zero DMs, and wonder what went wrong. The metric was never the problem, the audience was.

Social Media Success ≠ Follower Growth
It also includes:
- Driving leads
- Converting customers
- Improving brand sentiment
- Increasing email subscribers
- Growing your brand's reach
- Building relationships w/ KOLs
- Growing your closed community
- Getting product feedback

@therahulissar The 9:16 shift has been coming for a while. We moved all our clients to vertical-first about six months ago and reach picked up almost immediately after. Feed is basically Reels now.
English
Meta just updated their creative specs again.
Starting March 2026:
→ Stories and Reels will share the same safe zone (finally)
→ Instagram Feed recommended ratios are shifting to 4:5 for images, 9:16 for video
→ 9:16 video ads in Feed are showing 7% higher CTR and 4% higher offsite CVR on average. We've only been creating ads in 9:16 for the last year and have been seeing delivery in this placement increase a large amount by just making 9:16 only.
If you're still building creative at 1:1 for Feed you're leaving performance on the table.
Update your creatives now before March hits.

@dylsphillips This is the whole argument for personal branding in one post. People don't buy from logos. They buy from people they actually know something about.
English
brand account: 3 million followers, couple hundred likes.
ceo's personal account: 20,000 likes on a product update.
the algorithm isn't broken. it's telling you something.

Microsoft has 3 million followers Their posts get a couple hundred likes Satya Nadella posts product updates and gets 20,000 People buy from people, not logos If you're a founder and you're not posting, you're leaving distribution on the table @JamesonZaballos was an AI engineer and left Microsoft's on-call grind to build Napa with @chrisjbakke (who told his last startup to Elon after going viral every day for a year) How founders can start creating content: > Start with memes - humor drops people's guard > Turn passive scrolling into active scrolling (bookmark everything) > Remix viral formats for your ICP > Test for 2-4 weeks. Cull the misses. Compound the winners.

@shangenflow The order here matters more than people realise. Most founders flip it and wonder why their marketing isn't converting. Brand first, then marketing.
English
Building an audience is the most powerful asset in the world.
As a business owner you should be doing this:
Priority - Build your personal brand to get new customers
Secondary - Start marketing for your brand to keep those customers
Making content to get customers is always the cheapest way to get new customers or clients.
But still you will scroll past and think I don't need to.
-I will just buy leads and send automated emails
-I will run ads
-I will do campaigns
-I will do referrals
-I will do PR
Been saying this since 2016.

@msrosellewrites Exactly this. Most people think posting more = more clients. The ones actually getting DMs are just consistently showing up with something real to say.
