How to Gain Social Media following simply from being a dev?

So I have been a developer for a few years now but cannot seem to figure out how to grow a social media following.

I see devs out there with similar or fewer credentials than myself with hundreds or even thousands of followers.

So I guess my question is: how do I gain more followers on my personal dev twitter account?

Any and all support would be greatly appreciated.

Hope to hear from some of you soon,

What do you consider a decent following? I've gained a fair bit of followers but it wasn't from being a dev. I've only recently started bridging it all together, with my initial following coming from music production.

Curious to know how you evaluate this.

I've worked with devs with half the experience I have but they're probably twice as good as me, years of experience really isn't a great indicator.

Growing a social media following as a developer can be tough, but using follower-increasing tools like TopFollow APK can give you a boost. These tools help you reach a wider audience by increasing your followers quickly and easily, which in turn can lead to more engagement on your posts. While sharing valuable content is key, tools like Top Follow can complement your efforts and help you grow faster!

To grow your social media following as a developer, regularly share your projects, coding tips, and insights. Engaging content helps attract followers interested in tech. For Instagram, using tools like Top Follow can also assist in increasing your visibility. Keep posting valuable updates, and your audience will naturally expand

Some ideas:

  • Start a coding live-stream or video-channel, where you code up a non-trivial project.
  • Pick a niche-topic to dive-in and do articles and conf-talks about it.

I don't really know what the secret is to make a big impact on twitter, but I assume that by creating quality content people will eventually notice you.
