A supplemental method that can be used to speed up progress is preparing content that specifically highlights members of your Dream 100.
Have you ever seen lists of “top fitness instructors you need to be following” or similar content? These aren’t just lists but are aimed to get the attention of the people mentioned in the lists!
By creating a piece of content highlighting the best people you are basically giving them a massive compliment. People love having their egos stroked!
And guess what happens if I do a piece about the top AI influencers?
The top AI influencers share that content with their fans! Of course they do: these posts make them look great and they want to share that social proof with their followers.
Again this works particularly well with small and medium accounts. The big boys and girls get featured all the time so it’s not as special for them.
Here’s a basic prompt to create a thread:
Act as a Twitter expert
Create a "best of" thread about the influencers I provide you with
Begin with a strong hook tweet with a strong declarative sentence + controversial opinion opener followed by details of what's in the thread and why they should read
For each influencer give
The handle , name, follower count
brief description of their topics
why they should be followed
No emojis
No hashtags
Format as a thread with each tweet declared.
#Influencer details begin#
Paste this prompt into ChatGPT then head back to Twitter.
For each person you want to add to your list copy this part of their profile, everything visible in this screenshot:
Copy and paste each profile summary below the prompt and hit go when you have them all.
This will spit out a thread of posts, each with a basic summary. Importantly each also includes the handle of the account - this ensures that the Dream 100 target will be tagged and notified about the post.
Stick to 5 or less as you don’t want to just fill a thread with mentions lest it looks spammy.
Additionally, do not put all the mentions in one tweet - spread them out, one per tweet. One tweet tagging multiple accounts will very quickly get flagged as spam!
To make a post like this more visually appealing I’d grab a screenshot of their profile or potentially just their X profile photo.
Using these sort of lists will help accelerate your growth as it’ll hopefully get re-shared by the target accounts to their followers.
