Twitter Replies Challenge: Triple Your Reach In 30 Days

The Twitter Replies Challenge is a simple, free way to increase the number of people who discover you and your tweets in 30 days.

All you have to do is tweet one reply a day to someone on Twitter for a month, using the prompts I share in the calendar below.

How much will Twitter replies grow your reach?

It depends, but if you’re the kind of person who typically tweets once a day on average and you now add one reply a day to the mix, I’m confident this will at least triple the number of tweet impressions you generate over the course of the month.

And it likely will get you a LOT more.

Before you dive into the challenge, I recommend you read my take on how to get followers on Twitter.

3 Things To Keep In Mind When You Do The Twitter Replies Challenge

1. Make your tweet replies as valuable as possible. 

Post replies that will make people curious to check out your profile — don’t just reply with something like “Great tweet!”

The prompts are designed to help you do this.

2. Reply to people whose audiences are likely to be interested in what you tweet about.

Don’t just reply to random celebrities or people ranting about politics (unless your industry is celebrities or politics). 

The goal here is to get yourself in front of the kind of people who will ultimately get value from your tweets so aim for relevance.

3. Use these Twitter reply prompts in whatever order you want.

Aside from the first and last day, the order of the Twitter replies prompts doesn’t really matter.

Feel free to jump around or follow them in the order I laid out — as long as you hit all 30 over the course of the month you should get the results you want.

I can’t wait to see how it’s helped you!
