Starting an X (formerly Twitter) account from scratch can feel like shouting into the void. When I first joined Twitter, I had no followers, no engagement, and no idea how to grow. But today, I'm thrilled to share that I've hit 10,000 followers!
My recipe was simple but effective:
- Keep posting consistently
- Post at the best times for more engagement
- Target the interests of your followers
Here’s how you can do it, too.

Setting the Stage
When I started, I was determined to build a significant audience. My goal was clear: reach 10,000 followers. But how do you get there when you're starting from zero?
First, I focused on creating a compelling profile. A good profile picture, an engaging bio, and a pinned tweet that reflects your personality or mission can make a world of difference. I chose a professional headshot, wrote a bio that captured my interests and what I tweeted about, and pinned a tweet that showcased my most important message.
I also devised a content strategy. I planned the types of content I would post and how often I would post them. Consistency is key to keeping your audience engaged. I mixed it up with informative posts, personal insights, and engaging questions for my followers.

Finding the Solution: Circleboom!
However, despite my efforts, it was still hard to get followers. I felt like I was doing everything right, but my follower count wasn't growing as I had hoped. I knew I needed a more effective strategy.
Then I discovered Circleboom and its features showed me that I still have so much to improve. There's so much more to be done. This tool allows me to manage my account and implement things both on desktop and mobile devices, thanks to the iOS app ⬇️
Finding When My Followers Are Online!
You should reach more people on X to grow your audience. To achieve this, your posts should receive more and more likes, retweets, quotes, etc. I realized that my posts don't get engagement even from my followers. I always thought it was about the quality, but I never thought about the timing!
Yes, I discovered that when I share a post on Twitter, the majority of my followers are not online. I don't know when they are online until I find Circleboom. It provides a beautiful chart (I shared above) showing when my X followers are online. I can catch them online and share my posts at those times. Also scheduling and setting queue for your tweets are other possible options.
So, it will increase the chances of more likes and retweets, right? Then, their audience will discover me and I can increase my followers to 10,000 on Twitter organically.
Interest Targeting: Create X Posts Based on Follower Interests
I was posting tweets about many things before I started using Circleboom. Normally, people interested in these subjects like or retweet my tweets if any people are engaged with my posts!
Then, I discovered "Twitter Interest Targeting" on Circleboom. It shows you (as shared above) the subjects your followers are interested in with a nice graphic. It helps you create relevant X posts and increase the chances of likes and retweets. When they retweet or like my post, their audience will see it, and my followers will grow to 10,000 organically!
