Hot take:

For founders, it's CRITICAL to grow on X.
But 90% of emerging founders I know waste time on the wrong people.
10 things I’d do if I had to start from 0 as a founder ↓
1. Ignore accounts with 20K+ followers
2. Build a list of 20 reachable people
3. Reply to them daily
4. Quote their posts instead of writing your own
5. DM anyone who notices you
6. Track who responds and who doesn’t
7. Drop people who ignore you
8. Double down on people who engage
9. Reuse content that works
10. Stay consistent for 14 days
Early growth on X isn’t about content.
It’s about attention loops & building a network.
