Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Daniel Fazio describing how he grew a Twitter audience from zero by demonstrating competence: he posted a thread asking followers to reply with their niche, offered step-by-step guidance on scraping and enriching email lists, engaged heavily in the comments which increased visibility, and was invited to a private group as a result.
So how did you start your Twitter from scratch, though? What I did was I actually have a video of this on YouTube. It's 35 minutes, and it's called Twitter Masterclass. Basically, you have to prove competence to a group of people. But I was at zero. I started an account from zero. Cool thing about Twitter is if you comment, if someone comments in a post, it immediately boosted back to the top of people's timeline. I made this thread one time, and it popped off. So what I did was I said, reply to this tweet with a niche, and I will tell you how to scrape their email addresses. At that point, I was at like, maybe 800 followers. I got like 500 comments on it of people. Just here's my niche. And I would post a video of how to do it, use this software app, and then take the data over here and enrich it like this. And then you can set it over here, and then you can make a cold email campaign like this. And I sat there all day. I was working this thread in Big accounts were commenting too, and they're like, dude, this is like, really smart. And what happened is very interesting. One of the guys messaged me. He goes, hey, we want to invite you to this private group. I was like, cool, join the private group now, man. That was it.
