How can I improve my strategy for the new year?

My Twitter journey started in October 2022 with no previous experience on the platform. I viewed Twitter as a good place to connect with others in the indie hacker community and grow a following for the startup I am working on.

As everyone who is starting out experiences, your tweets go into the void with little engagement. Some of the initial advice I received was to interact with other accounts' content more than I created my own content. This great advice has allowed me to gain some traction on Twitter and grow a decent following.

I am looking to change my strategy to include creating more original content for Twitter around research, validation, and testing as a Startup. I believe I can add greater value to my followers this way.

I also am looking to help more Startups directly in testing their products and provide detailed feedback as well as helping create and ask the right questions for first-time testers or those looking to get more out of their testing.

To reflect this change, I saw it fitting to update my account's bio. As someone still new to Twitter, any tweaks that you think I should make are greatly appreciated.

Previous bio: Firatrack helps you build and grow with product feedback/research, issue tracking and task management 🔥 Sharing our journey, follow for updates

New bio: Indie hacker building Firatrack in public 🔥 Follow for tips on deeply understanding real user problems and the best way to solve them.

Lastly -- for those much more experienced on the platform, I wanted to ask if it is a good time in my Twitter journey to change strategies and if there is anything I should know going forward. Thank you :)

    Hi! Like the idea of start adding content and value to your followers but I wouldn't do a 360 change as your current followers may be confused at the beginning.

    My advice would be to do a mix and see what kind of adding content works bests for your community, lists of tools or threads of tips usually work nice.

    Also, I find the new bio more interesting as it is more focused in you as a maker than just marketing of your product.

    Sorry I can't give you more ideas as I am starting too :)

      Thank you! :) This is helpful -- I think a mix of content gradually would help to avoid alienating my existing followers. I am glad you like the new bio, that is a win in my books
