Simplify this process by following a few simple tips and tricks.

The first method to gain more X followers is to post more.

Experts say the optimum number of posts range from three to seven posts per day.

Still, some businesses post upwards of 20 tweets per day, depending on their strategy.

Each time you post a new tweet, you have another chance to reach more followers.

But, how do you post more often when you’re out of ideas?

Start by creating a simple editorial calendar and spend a few hours each week brainstorming content.

To create a simple X editorial calendar:

Open Excel, Google Sheets, or another spreadsheet app.

Create an empty spreadsheet.

List the days of the week you plan to post, along with the dates.

Insert a row for each tweet you plan to post for each day.

For each day, enter an idea for a tweet or the tweet you plan to post.

When you plan ahead, you avoid skipping a post or a day because you’re out of ideas.

Then,create a chartthat shows which tweets gather the most engagement.

There are multiple ways to schedule tweets using free services such asBufferand other services such as Hootsuite.

These services schedule tweets as far in advance as you need and during the times that matter the most.

With services like Canva, creating quick visuals to go with your tweets is simple.

enter to your Canva account.

Go to the search bar, then enterX.

In the list of pre-made X post templates, select a template.

Add a background, images, text, and more to the canvas.

For example, businesses use a specific hashtag for their posts to curate their content.

X users search by hashtag to find topics relevant to their interests.

To keep track of your hashtags, add a sheet or page to your X calendar spreadsheet.

Experiment with the hashtag generator to come up with ideas.

As your content reaches farther on X, you gain more followers.

Showcase your X handle on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Snapchat, YouTube, and WhatsApp.

Share your X profile by posting it in posts on other social media channels.

Also, post your X handle on your website or blog.

To optimize your profile:

Fill your X bio with relevant information, keywords, and hashtags.

The hashtags in your bio are clickable.

Choose relevant hashtags that don’t take away from what your page offers.

Add a clear profile photo of you.

If you’re a business, add your logo.

Change the header image to match your profile or your business.

Add your location and website link.

Change the theme color to match your content.
