I didn't follow any big names or influencers when I started out, and I still don't. Because most of them don't reply or interact with me - so it is not worth my time to "watch their tweets". Many people also tell me the best interactions they have are with people new here.

If you're building in public, but you feel like tweeting into the void. This is for you. Usually, it is because you see Twitter as a one-way channel. You talk, they listen. Only when you start having real conversations, then people will start to "pay attention" to you.

I build in public because I suck at sales. Seriously, tried many times. I'm just not good at presenting problems & values then convincing people to buy in one call. For me, building in public is easier b/c I share my stories, and with Internet, the right people will resonate.
