I don't care for the idea of "tear-downs."

Banner = Free Real Estate
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
With tools like Canva, the banner is your billboard.
Remember:
- Check mobile. Those iPhone cutouts can make clever unclear.
- Big tends to beat busy. Send one clear message.
Example @aymanalabdul
Ideal Follower: "7-figure CEOs who want to grow" pic.twitter.com/ufcLqUOQGn -
Pick The Best Click
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
More options drive fewer clicks. Don't make people choose.
What is the most important next step in your relationship?
-> Newsletter
-> Free call with you
Example: @mikawl_lim
Ideal Follower: "Professionally, people who want to grow Youtube audiences." pic.twitter.com/C1Y1MOi484 -
The Love Language of Followers is Focus
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
Try to appeal to everyone, and you attract no one.
My rule: "Ifs" but no "Ands."
Example: @Pam_Rubin1
Ideal Follower: "People leading remote teams...seeking to build the soft skills and mindsets to create collaborative communities." pic.twitter.com/OPTiaNuPiW -
You're Not Naval
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
Unless you're 1M followers famous, tell people what they'll get.
Tip: If you post regularly, say it. Don't rely on them scrolling.
Example: @louieruvolo
Ideal Follower: "Sober or interested in sobriety. Also interested in healthy aging and or athletics." pic.twitter.com/VKOq51awLe -
Pinned Tweet
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
It's the sample at the end of the aisle at Costco. You want to hook them with one taste.
Ideal candidate:
- High engagement
- Squarely in your lane
- Written in the last year
Example @girdley
Ideal Follower: "Business-oriented Chili's lovers" pic.twitter.com/ZL86BbDDwj -
Where You're Going >> Where You've Been
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
You can shape what you want to be known for next. Just ask the AI experts and "prompt engineers."
Biggest mistake: straddling the past and future.
Example: @jasonstrimpel
Ideal Follower: "Someone 9-12 months into becoming a creator..." pic.twitter.com/EMQrpJEWpq -
Social Proof
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
This should put weight behind the question: "Why You?"
Think:
- Achievements
- Recognizable brands
- Signals to your ideal followers
Example @gregorycampion
Ideal Follower: "Someone serious about self-improvement" pic.twitter.com/Y6N74NbhLU -
I made these videos in partnership with @usebubbles.
— Dave Kline (@dklineii) April 19, 2023
Their killer feature enables video commenting in response to a bubble. A game-changer for async collaboration.
And yesterday, they integrated with ChatGPT.
Let's give it a spin 👇 -
So what's your vote: My advice or ChatGPTs?
