02/ Sort your audience into target segments โ think of communication messages for each segment (= product positioning).
03/ A/B test different product positioning on

5 thoughts on Twitter growth:
โฆ If you're not looking for someone, followers won't find you too.

โฆ To expect a lot of likes, you have like a lot.
