Steps

Define your niche in one sentence. "I help [audience] achieve [outcome] using [method]." Pin this to your bio.
Audit top 20 accounts in your niche. Use Tweet Hunter's viral library to find their best threads. Note patterns: hooks, length, format.
Generate 30-day content plan with AI. Prompt: "Create 30 Twitter thread ideas for [niche]. Mix educational, contrarian, story, and framework threads. One per day."
Write thread hooks. First line determines 90% of read-through. Prompt: "Write 10 Twitter hook variations for: [thread topic]. Use curiosity, controversy, data, and personal story angles."
Schedule for optimal times. Typefully and Hypefury's AI suggest per-account optimal windows. Generally: 9am, 12pm, 5pm ET weekdays.
Engage for 30 min daily. Reply to 10 larger accounts in your niche with value-add comments. 20% of follower growth comes from reply-bombing.
Turn top threads into repeatable templates. Save winners. Reuse structure monthly with fresh angles.

Common Mistakes

Posting without a niche — "general life thoughts" never grows
Buying followers — dilutes engagement rate, hurts algorithm reach
Using excessive hashtags (Twitter doesn't reward them)
Ignoring replies to your own tweets — kills momentum
Only promoting your product — 80/20 rule: 80% value, 20% promotion
