As you reach each new thousand you see an increase but the one at 7,000 has seen the biggest daily increases, a dozen or so big accounts per day.<\/p>\n<h2>Interactions<\/h2>\n<p>Retweets have seen a noticeable increase as well. Each tweet gets a steady stream of retweeters, more so than at 6,000 followers (even taken the extra 1,000 into account).<\/p>\n<h2>Engagement<\/h2>\n<p>Sadly even now, few people engage and I&#8217;m still relying on <a href=\"https:\/\/simonday.com\/web-design-news\/the-power-and-fun-of-twitter-chats-and-how-you-find-them\/\">Twitter chats<\/a> to get my &#8216;social&#8217; fix.<\/p>\n<h2>Followers<\/h2>\n<p>I have patterns to people following me. Some weekdays are very quiet, other weekdays very busy with new followers.\u00a0In the last 10 days I have attracted 260 new followers\u00a0with very little effort on my part. I may play around a little to see how much I can increase that by. My goal was always 6,000 followers so I have been kicking back and relaxing since I reached it.<\/p>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>As I reach each new thousand things do change. It&#8217;s subtle in the low thousands but it gets more notable as each thousand is reached. I seem to see a lot of people around the 4,000 to 6,000 follower mark but much fewer over 7,000. I feel that if you can get past 7,000 you&#8217;ll find people take you more seriously and more people find, follow, like and retweet you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is an ongoing record of the incredible changes I notice as you gain more followers.
