I often see new adult accounts on X that gain 20k or more followers within 2–3 weeks and consistently get thousands of likes and views. I’m interested in how they do it. Is it some kind of paid promotion? Do they buy ads somewhere? Or are there really free ways to grow that quickly?
I’m still new to X, so I’m trying to understand how growth works here.
 
The speedy growing accounts you see on X, on a high proportion, is of already made influencers who have the networks of other influential accounts in the adult niche and collectively assist in the growth of a friend's new account, by simply retweeting, and quoting the tweets of the infant account. This activity is done for reasons that ends up with monetization, not just X's own kind of earning, but selling to brands or OF models for high profits, then rinse and repeat.
 
Tbh, it's usually a mix of consistency, networking, and sometimes paid promotion
 
it can look like that, some are just really good at posting consistently or jumping on trends early, but a lot of the super fast growth usually has some boost behind it like shoutouts, promos, etc... Organic fast growth is possible, just not that common.
 
the way adult accounts grow on X is through a lot of engagement. Most of them are connected, and they constantly hype each other with retweets. The accounts also make it a point to appear early in the replies section of major account with ragebait
 
Some grow organically through viral posts, collaborations and consistent engagement while others use paid shoutouts or creators network.
 
I'll put it more simply, there's a base of strong, authoritative Twitter accounts that quickly raise new accounts. I do the same thing. Naturally, you need good content in the niche for rapid growth.
 
Check the engagement quality before believing the numbers. If an account has 20k followers but very low replies or real interactions, the growth may not be as strong as it looks.

I totally agree with you, but I would like to add that other influencers might also get paid even if they offer this service for their friends.
 
Some accounts also benefit from collaborations or mentions from much larger accounts. One good exposure can bring more followers than weeks of normal posting.
 
A lot of it is probably networking, reposts and getting picked up by bigger accounts. It can look overnight but there’s usually a lot going on behind the scenes.
 
some of them use shoutouts, collaborations or paid promo, but a lot also benefit from repost networks and already having an audience elsewhere.

Some influencers would prefer to partake in the money made from selling accounts, over getting paid at the start of the work.
 
usually its a mix of good content,trends repost and paid promotion. some accounts also get an early boost when a few posts take off. 20k in a few weeks isnt impossible but its definitely not normal organic growth
 
Growth on X can come from regular posting, useful replies and content that gets noticed by more people. Some accounts may also have an audience from other platforms. It is difficult to know the exact reason for another account’s growth without knowing how it was built.
 
hey i think it’s usually a mix of consistent posting or engagement or collaborations and sometimes the paid promotion.
