I had always wanted to grow my X account so I could enjoy the benefits that others are getting but it has always been difficult because I always wondered how and where I would start from. But this narrative changed right from the time the zealy campaign started but it got even better during the November /December hive marketing campaign. Hence I saw this as an opportunity to grow my fan base and engage more with certain strategies set in place and this has been going well so far.
Before now I had tried to grow my page but it was slow and then I magaged to gather just over 300 followers for an account that was created over 11 years ago (so poor). Although it was my fault because I hardly engage on Twitter talk more of interacting and getting views. But when I joined the zealy campaign courtesy of inleo team, my fan base grew by over 20 or 30%. Due to the task of engaging on the X platform by promoting hive contents, participation in spaces, engaging with fellow hivers and non hivers account, it has helped to boost my present in the X web2 space. Now I can boast of over 500 organic followers who interact with my account from time to time.
What I did good
Due to the numerous quests from the zealy campaign, I had the opportunity to participate in spaces and also random spaces that were not zealy oriented. For instance we had the breads space, hive town hall, cryptoholics podcast, inleo ama, ctt podcasts, salamanders show, ice breaker and so on. On these platform I was able to drop quality engagement as comment as we were taught how to effectively engage on X without having tk sound as bots. Also, I was able to boost my knowledge on the happenings of hive blockchain, inleo development, crypto, web3 gaming, reward pools, community engagement and so on. Also, for being active and consistent I was able to attract followers that included prominent space show hosts like breads, salamander, Eric, Khal, and so many more. Another thing I did good was engaging outside the world of crypto and support niches like art, photography especially one that speaks nature.
What I learned
On the X space, it very easy to get banned or suspended if you don't follow the rules. Rules like having to not sound like a bot or you get banned. On X you could loose your account if you speak unnecessaroly, its not like our web3 inleo where freedom of speech is revered. I also learnt that engagement is a key factor to grow on that space, the interactions, like, re-tweet, quote and comments are necessary for growth. I have also mastered the art of sharing content links from other platforms by creating a Threading and it with the link instead of directly.
What I would do differently
It's a shame that an account of over 10years can not boast of having even 1k followers, so what I intend to do differently is to be active, make Atleast one post and engage on like 5 other people's post. Hence, I would try to focus on a growing niche that would inspire growth be it crypto , food, football, photography, games, art, comics, music etc.
As we can see, the zealy marketing campaign has done more than just promoting hive blockchain and inleo ecosystem but rather, it has enhanced my growth and future development of my X account. Not only X, my inleo account has grown so well from constant Threading, replies and engagement in threadcasts.
