How I reached 50K Twitter followers

Copying Followers @RupertCheek — about 5000 at the time I started @CheekyPromo
Tweeting people’s Profiles; e.g. “Be part of something bigger than yourself. Connect through #music. Email @rupertcheek rupert@cheekypromo.com @CheekyPromo” [& Cheeky Promo logo attached]
Gratitude; Saying (publically) “Thank you very much for the retweet” when people retweet one of my tweets”
Reciprocity; Thank people who share your content by sharing their content.
Variety; tweeting / Retweeting a variety of content — about a WIDE range of music / musicians, startups, entrepreneurship, business & other things I’m passionate / have strong views about such as animal / human rights & environmental issues. Tweeting posts I like on Medium (…ahem…).

Creator Collabs (formerly CoPromote); Cross-Promotion for Creators. Free. Creator Collabs is a network of creators dedicated to helping each other reach new and larger audiences.
Publish a post on Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook and then Boost it using Creator Collabs. Increase your potential additional reach by Sharing other people’s content on Twitter, Instagram and/or Facebook. Personally, I only share posts via Creator Collabs that have interesting / adequate context / info — ie. if it’s just a link, there isn’t ANY text, no hashtags (for instagram posts) , I won’t bother. There are no guarantees — at least with the Free account. I’ve ‘earnt’ a (potential) reach of over 13m on/via Creator Collabs but haven’t yet learnt / had any of my posts reach more than 1m or so. I guess it depends on who you’re Following / who’s Following you on CC and if your interests / sectors crossover. Reciprocation holds true even here — if someone shares one or more of my posts through this platform then I try to share one of theirs.
Drumup; discovers and helps you share great content to your social media accounts so you can start meaningful conversations with your followers.
Source content according to certain topics. Post on Twitter and/or LinkedIn at your chosen time / “best time”
