If you're here, I bet you'll find yourself in one of these:
You spend 3 hours writing a thread only for it to get 2 likes (and one retweet from yourself).
You keep checking your follower count every hour, but the more you look at it, the slower it seems to grow.
And the worst of all...
You've applied almost every tiny hack the gurus say will "help you get 10,000 followers overnight", but apparently none of this advice works for you (while in the meantime, your friends are surpassing your growth by light years).
Have I struck a pain point yet?
If so, let me tell you:
It doesn't have to be that way.
In fact, you can grow your audience without any growth hacks whatsoever, with less than 2 hours of work per day (even if you think you have nothing interesting to offer).
Because this is exactly what I have done, and now, I can show you the path.
Let me introduce you to my story:

From my best friend not taking me seriously to becoming a mini-authority

My name is Claudia Stellner, and I'm a 14-year-old high-school student & creator. I started writing on Twitter mid-November 2021, and since I've been dreaming of becoming an online creator ever since I was 9 years old, when I finally took the leap, be sure that I had big plans. I wanted to build large followings across multiple platforms, talking about things I'm passionately curious about (and had Ali Abdaal & Thomas Frank as my heroes), and obviously, as every other creator, I wanted to start making an income, too. But when I told my ex-best friend about my journey & Twitter goals in January 2022, he laughed at my face.
He told me that I'm too young and that no one is ever going to be interested in what I had to say.
In fact, he said that no one would be interested in such boring topics that I write about whatsoever (I writing about self-improvement & productivity back then).
Also, 9 months later that same friend had downloaded Twitter only to look at my 14,000-follower account, but I'm getting ahead of myself.
Unfortunately, for a long time, I felt like he had a good point when he said all those nasty things.
I was constantly shouting into the void, and no matter how much time I spent writing my content, nobody cared.
But around March 2022, something changed:
I discovered the magic of Twitter growth techniques that all the generic "Twitter Bros" promote like crazy. And I also started to realize that they work quite well.
The gameplan I followed was pretty straightforward: :
• Post platitudes 3x per day (they were super cringe - please don't try to look them up.)
• Get in 3 engagement groups to get more exposure
• Comment on 25+ accounts per day (as soon as they tweet of course - this is how you get the most impressions).
And although I was able to double my following in about 3 weeks with this approach...
There was one thought hunting me in my sleep:
"Aren't all of those people following me just because I engage with their posts & write super generic content?"
That's when it hit me.
Not all followers are created equal.
Not only the approach that I'm taking makes me attract low-quality people that won't ever turn in my fans...
But it's also making me a commodity - just another generic bro that Twitter doesn't need.
And that's when I realized that something needs to change.

The little tweaks that skyrocketed my growth

I decided to do 2 things:1. Double down on my personal brand
2. Double down on my skill
Because for some reason, I believed that if I'll improve my brand & skill well enough, people will come.
And although this hypothesis wasn't 100% right, it pointed me in a completely new direction.Speaking of doubling down on my brand, I decided to finally put my name out there, get a real profile picture, and write less cringe & more clear bio. And also - and that was the scariest thing for me - reveal my age
(which eventually turned into an advantage, not a burden).And when it comes to my skill…my choice was clear:It was writing. And although I was far from being an expert (and frankly, if you look back at my posts, they all sucked), I decided to simply share what I'm learning every day on my journey.And after a few weeks of consistency…And after MANY weeks of getting results like this…

I finally started seeing results like this:

I know that those aren't any super viral threads...
But I bet they're the kind of results every beginner creator is dying to see.
In fact when I first saw this amount of engagement on my thread, I started running around my house like crazy (and nearly broke my ankle - that's how excited I was).
But also...
The more I was learning & putting out there, the more I attracted the attention of people (even big authorities in the space). But this time, they weren't following me because we're in the same engagement group or because I engage with their tweets...
They simply followed me because they liked my story.

The creator economy is on the rise

A recent report has shown that the creator economy is worth approximately $250 billion - and there's no wonder.
We're living in a world where things are going digital.
Today, anyone can go and learn or teach anything they'd love to.
But as much as this is an advantage...
It also has a lot of downsides.
More people joining the creator space day by day also means that the noise that is on social media is getting louder and louder, and it's becoming tougher & tougher to stand out.

And here's the thing:
99% of people decide to play the wrong game:
The short-term game focused on numbers.
They crave more likes.
More followers.
More income.
And as a result...they get caught up in the hamster wheel of Twitter growth, only to realize that it wasn't worth it at all.
That's why I call these people Starving Creators - no matter how hard they try, they end up in the same spot, still hungry as they were before.
And as I've indicated earlier...
I was a Starving Creator, too.

In an ever-expanding creator economy, here's how you take an advantage

As I've stated earlier...
After I decided to double down on my brand & skill, a lot of things changed for me:
• I've built an engaged audience
• I got noticed by bigger creators
• I've turned many of my followers into die-hard fans
But it didn't stop there.
I kept consistent with my methods, and over time, I ended up here:
• 26.9K followers on Twitter
• 1,450+ email list
• made $1,800 as a byproduct of all of theseSoon, I was to discover one common trait in between me & loads of other successful creators:Most creators you look up to don't try to build their audience.
Instead, they try to build a brand that attracts it by default.The former forces you to hop on the cheap & generic content route, and as a result, attract a very cheap audience that in reality doesn't give a f*ck about you (that's what happened to me).But the latter makes you something I call the Sovereign Creator - an anti-dote to Starving Creator.
So if you're tired of chasing more likes & followers (being a Starving Creator), and want to become someone who gets high-quality followers on autopilot instead (the Sovereign Creator)...
I might have some good news for you.
