How I’d Get My First 1,000 Followers If I Started From Zero

Hey there and Happy Easter Sunday!

Starting from scratch?

No audience,
no likes,
no clue where to begin?

I’ve got you.

Here’s the game plan I’d follow if I had to build from 0 to 1,000 followers—fast.

𝟏. 𝐏𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 (𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤 𝐖𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐭)

Don’t try to be everything to everyone.

Pick your niche:

• 𝘚𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘴
• 𝘈𝘐
• 𝘉𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨
• 𝘖𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺

Then go all in.
↳ People follow you when they know what to expect.

𝟐. 𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲 (𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮’𝐫𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐬)

It’s not about perfection.
It’s about consistency.

Try this 5-day content plan:

• 𝘔𝘰𝘯: Share a personal lesson
• 𝘛𝘶𝘦: Drop a quick tip
• 𝘞𝘦𝘥: Ask your audience a question
• 𝘛𝘩𝘶: Tell a short story
• 𝘍𝘳𝘪: Highlight a win or resource

Show up daily, and the algorithm starts to notice.
(So do your future followers.)

𝟑. 𝐄𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐙𝐘

If you’ve got 30 minutes a day, spend 20 of them commenting.

Target:

• 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦
• 𝘗𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘣𝘴
• 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘵

Thoughtful comments can get you noticed faster than a viral post.

𝟒. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐇𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧

People connect with people.
Not perfect brands.

Show your:

• 𝘔𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘴
• 𝘏𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘴
• 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘴, 𝘵𝘰𝘰

Authenticity beats aesthetics
↳ every time.

𝟓. 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟓–𝟓𝟎 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐑𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐲

Yes, connections = followers.
And if you're posting value?
People will want in.

Target:

• 𝘗𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩
• 𝘈𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦𝘴 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘩𝘦𝘴
• 𝘓𝘪𝘬𝘦𝘳𝘴/𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵

Add a short message like: "Hey [First Name], I’m sharing content on [TOPIC] and saw you’re in the same space—would love to connect!"

It’s simple.
It's authentic.
And it works.

𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬: 𝐂𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬-𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐞

Got a presence on IG, Twitter, or TikTok?

Invite your audience to join you on LinkedIn.

Drop a story,
share a screenshot,
or simply ask them to follow.

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐧
↳ 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐭𝐨.

𝐅𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬

1,000 followers isn’t magic.
It’s momentum.

With clarity, consistency, and connection
↳ you’ll get there.

Then you’ll fly past it.

That's a wrap, made it a quick one to get you going.
Now go spend some time with your
family and enjoy it.

Until next week!

Thanks again for spending part of your weekend with me!
