Almost everyone mentions Twitter as the best channel for growing an audience Twitter is my favorite social channel. This is because I can communicate with my niche easily compared to other channels. What's your preferred channel?

Twitter is... hard. If you don't have an existing following personally, building a following for a project company is very time-consuming. You have to know your niche very well and know how to interact with others that work in the same space. I find it easier than Instagram, personally. I don't fare too well on Instagram. Depending on your field of work, dedicated discussion groups on Discord and Facebook may provide better traction.

@aviv_m_icel great point, fee same about Twitter. Reddit is a way more faster.

@mark_pavlyukovskyy I always forget about Reddit 😅
Charlie Kor
@avivicel Yes, Agree! Building an audience on Twitter takes time and effort.🙂

Mine is LinkedIn~
Charlie Kor
@dot_brand Hi, Kevin! Would you use LinkedIn to reach your growth audience? Is Linkedin primarily used by your niche?
Kevin Lu
@charlie_lee1 I use LinkedIn to reach my target audiences, and yes, it's primarily used by my niche~
Noel Rajakumar
@dot_brand Correct! LinkedIn is also a great way to reach audience and grow provided we cater to our target audience
Kevin Lu
@noel_rajakumar Indeed! It's a very useful platform for startups reaching out their audience!
Vlad Golub
It's depends, if your customer is B2C - Twitter and Instagram, if it's B2B only LinkedIn
Matthias Strafinger
@realvladgolub in certain verticals twitter is also valid for b2b (e.g. agency business)
Luca Gonnelli
@realvladgolub @matthias_strafinger agree with twitter being interesting for b2b
Odin Enes Ozlen
@realvladgolub I absolutely agree.
Charlie Kor
@realvladgolub Yes, agree. It depends on what your niche's main social media channel is

i think tiktok is the best, best algorhytm to find people interested in your stuff, from there on lead them to other socialmedias so you can have more impact then 5 seconds on them
Charlie Kor
@jonassc You are the first to mention Tiktok here. As a developer, Tiktok is helpful to grow your audience?
Rowe Morehouse
@jonassc what do you sell? what types of buyers can you reach on TikTok?
Jonas Schaller
@rowemore Tiktok is nor for selling, its for building a brand, you cant really sell the people something, you can show them how "cool" your brand is, get audience, reach many people and hopefully converte them to other socialmedias. I make free apps so its different to like a normal product selling company.
Jonas Schaller
@charlie_lee1 yes grow audience fast, worldwide and without marketing budget. It can be so easy to go viral there and reach people how are interested, but that takes some work and videos that are interessting for the audience

I think it really depends on the niche you are in and where your target audience is most active. Twitter may work great for some, but others might find more success on Instagram or LinkedIn. It's important to not just blindly follow what everyone else is doing, but instead experiment with different channels and see which one resonates most with your specific audience. Additionally, creating valuable content that speaks directly to your target demographic can go a long way in growing an engaged following regardless of which platform you choose.
Matthias Strafinger
@dielleza_galica 100% true.

Mine is Facebook

@expert_app_devs Hi, Jignen What part of Facebook do you use most?

I think YouTube is the best social media channel nowadays for reaching the right audience because people tend to see the videos more rather than read anything.
Charlie Kor
@marthasnooper Oh new approach! I agree, Nowadays, it's all about content
Noel Rajakumar
@marthasnooper Makes sense!
Penny Hartley
Reddit, LinkedIn, Twitter. I like Reddit because it allows discussion and feedback and there are also advert slots you can pay for
Charlie Kor
@tr1p3 Oh I wonder how you build an audience on Reddit. Because it's always hustling for me Any recommendations for a good subreddit?
Penny Hartley
@charlie_lee1 There are so many it is hard to condense down because it depends what you are building or looking for, but to start with https://www.reddit.com/r/SaaS/, https://www.reddit.com/r/alphaan..., https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/, https://www.reddit.com/r/webmark..., https://www.reddit.com/r/gadgets/ https://www.reddit.com/r/tech/ Here is an old list of all subreddits, they are still all running:https://www.reddit.com/r/computi... For ads: https://accounts.reddit.com/adsr... On Reddit, you also have your own page that people can follow so once you created Karma and enough interest, you can post on your own page for engagement.
Adam Lui
Twitter is really dead compared to before Elon Musk took over and drove users away in droves per chaotic action taken. Mastodon is where I find my most success
Charlie Kor
@adamlui Yes, many things have changed.
Rowe Morehouse
@adamlui mastodon is good for lead gen and sales? what is your target audience for your product?
Adam Lui
@rowemore Mastodon is filled with early adopters of tech. So it can be good for lead gen and sales if your product is hi-tech (mine are ChatGPT-based apps)
Nuno Reis
As we are B2B we have been using LinkedIn most. But that is also because we don't have a good follower base in Twitter. I think a combination of both may work best. (different tones)
Charlie Kor
@nuno_ms_reis I agree. Combining both channels can be very powerful. However, do you think both channels are quite different in building an audience?
Nuno Reis
@charlie_lee1 I think so. I've had a very easy time growing my LinkedIn moderately, however Twitter I really have no ideia what I'm doing. Pretty new to it.
