072: Brian Feroldi - How to Skyrocket Your Twitter Growth

Author: Nathan Barry: Author, Designer, Marketer November 14, 2022 Duration: 53:41

In this episode I talk to Brian Feroldi. Brian is an incredible creator in the investing space. He Tweets about money, investing, and self-improvement. He also has a free newsletter with over 40,000 subscribers.

Today Brian talks about his recent experience migrating his newsletter to ConvertKit. He’s also a member of the ConvertKit Sponsor Network. I haven’t said much about the Sponsor Network, so Brian shares how he’s using it to book sponsors.

The bulk of our conversation, however, is about Twitter and how he’s grown his account to over 400,000 followers. Brian has an interesting idea using your Twitter profile as a sales page, and he explains why conversion rates are important. We also pull up my Twitter profile and Brian gives it a tear down live on the show.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How to get more followers on Twitter
  • Twitter profile strategies that increase your conversion rate
  • Why your Tweets aren’t getting more impressions
  • How to write Twitter threads that people will share
