I'm currently working on my startup (a virtual assistance product) and I'm new to the ecosystem. I only have 80 followers on Twitter and every time I write a piece on Medium or Quora I don't get much attention. Startup founders and entrepreneurs don't seem to take me seriously when I email them as well. I'm starting to doubt myself. Any tips on how to become a digital influencer to serve my new startup?
I helped a department in a big corporation to grow their twitter account from 95 (I) to over 2k in 18 months through organic growth. That's four years ago when twitter was not as popular today. I provided resources for our audience and monitored the response to adjust my content. It took persistent work.
For my personal tweeter account, I noticed that 400 seems like a tipping point. After a solid 400, it grew really beautifully.
