Working my way through X
10 July 2026
I have decided to rebuild my X account from scratch. My old account was 17 years old and did not show any signs of growing.
The X algorithm simply didn't seem to show my posts. Though I don't know the exact reason, I suspect a couple of candidate items for possible dead growth.
1. Irregular Posting
I've never been regular with posting on X. This has been one of the biggest mistakes I did. Sometimes it was due to lack of motivation. Sometimes due to lack of thoughts. Sometimes I was busy in some project.
In short, I always considered about short-term gains instead of thinking long term.
But I was wrong all along!
I have now promised myself to post daily about the TailStatic so I at least have something to post everyday.
2. Not sticking to a niche
The new algorithm seems to be focusing on niches. That means if it finds that you are posting about diverse items, there is a high chance that your post will not be shown to many.
Earlier I was posting about my products and in the same rhythm, I would also post about a movie. Then some time I would paste a random motivational quote copied from some site.
This obviously confused the algo about my niche and it won't show the posts.
3. Too old account
Note sure about this, but a very old account that has been inconsistent throughout could have given bad signals to X algo and it might have punished me for that reason.
What's now
It's been 4 days and I've been posting daily since then. The follower count is increasing slowly; though I would not complain for this now. It's a new account and I don't expect nothing much to happen for next 4 weeks.
This is kind of an experiment where I am trying to identify the factors that X may be considering for growth.
The reason it is more important this time is because I have see new accounts growing to 500+ counts within few weeks.
