Daniel Vassallo – Everyone Can Build a Twitter Audience
Over the past 14 months, my Twitter account has grown from 150 to 24,000 followers (now 110,000+). How did I do it?
First, the backstory: Last year I left a cushy job at Amazon to work for myself. But then I realized that my reputation only existed at the companies I’d worked for. I was practically unknown to the rest of the world.
I was determined to get some attention, but I was new to this kind of work. I had never posted on Twitter, never had a Facebook account, had no social media experience, and didn’t have a marketing background.
I settled on Twitter as my platform for experimenting. Being new, I wasted a lot of time trying things that didn’t work. But in that process, I stumbled on an approach that did work, and really well. And every other account I’ve seen that followed my approach has been successful at building a Twitter following from scratch and getting a lot of engagement.
In this video course, I’ll show you how I built my Twitter audience, and how you can do it too. My Twitter account might be the most valuable asset I own, and there is no better time than now to start building yours.

— Simon (@the_simon_v)
“I bought it last week, paused it when you talked about building credibility first. And immediately wrote a blog post that currently has 89 k views and got 416 new followers on twitter and 59 on gumroad. And what motivated me was the first 30 min of this course!”
— Santiago Víquez (@santiviquez)

— John (@elamje)
“Review: I’ve been following for a few wks now. The course is solid! I initially thought the reviews were overhyped — if you’ve bought courses online, you’d know — but it’s pretty spot on. The content, the delivery, and how you went straight to the point. So refreshing!”
— Life-Tech-Psych Tips (@LifeTechPsych)
“I bought this—first time I’ve ever purchased something like this. It was because of *credibility*—I’ve watched your account grow and enjoyed your tweets. But my favorite takeaway from the entire course… ‘You need to be interesting in real life to be interesting on Twitter.’”
— Geoff Roberts (@GeoffTRoberts)
“I enjoyed @dvassallo ‘everyone can build a twitter audience’ it was backed by what he experienced personally and I think the concepts can apply to most platforms”
— Dom Vacchiano (@DomVacchiano)
“Your course helped Twitter make sense to me. I used to see it as a ‘trashcan’ full of ego and now I see otherwise. I just wasn’t looking at it through the right frame of mind. Thank you for that. Now… just gotta implement and make it work for me.”
— Dana (@motherbirde)
“Just finished @dvassallo’s Build a Twitter Audience course and loved it. Here’s 3 takeaways: People will only listen if you have credibility; Reply to other’s tweets by turning on tweet notifications; Give a lot before you ask. Time to get to work”
— Blake Reichmann (@lbreichmann)
“I’m sure you get this a lot @dvassallo, but this course really changed the game for me on Twitter. From almost no activity a week ago to struggling to keep up with replies today.”
