Just a bit of background on me first- I'm Rik Nieu, a wannabe product maker who decided that I needed to learn how to use Twitter in order to have a larger audience to bounce ideas of off, and for better product validation.I pretty much felt like I was tweeting into the void for a good while there, and then luckily saw some mention of two courses to help clueless people like me figure out what you're supposed to be doing.(BTW, I'm not getting paid to do this and the links below are not affiliate links)The courses are;Everyone Can Build a Twitter Audience by Daniel VassalloCreate Your Following: How I went from 0 to 30K followers in 90 days by Danny ThompsonBoth courses were a little bit above what I felt comfortable paying, but I managed to get them on real good discounts, and would now like to compare the two, so that others who might think they need to do one can choose one that best fits them.Both course creators offer generous discounts on Twitter every now and then too, so stalk them a bit if you're a sucker for a good deal.Let's start with the differences first;DifferencesI want to note that both course offers very similar content and that the differences below are really my own interpretations on the contents. There's really just a difference in emphasis.That being said, here we go;Daniel's course is 1h40m long, and Danny's is 1h05m.Daniel seems to be more of a content sharer, while Danny fits squarely into the motivation side.Daniel offers extra value in the form of additional slides and a spreadsheet of some of his past tweets and their metrics, while Danny offers extra value in the form of being available for a free video call review of your Twitter profile.Danny reckons it's imperative for optimal growth to choose a lane and niche down hard, while Daniel is more open to the idea of becoming an authority on multiple subjects.Danny goes into detail about how to read and interpret your Twitter analytics, while Daniel focusses more on how to construct a proper Twitter follower funnel, and how analytics works into that.Danny is all about interacting and having conversations with his followers, while Daniel is more about creating quality, interesting content that gives followers value.Daniel seems to find tweet inspiration serendipitously, based on what's going on in his life, while Danny recommends creating a vision of what you'd want to be about, and then going about creating that vision.Daniel goes into detail on exactly what to tweet, while Danny goes into a thorough analysis on how, when and how often to tweet.Danny is slightly more focussed on showing you how to grow your audience using Twitter itself, while Daniel has substantial advice on how to grow your audience by leveraging outside sources to drive traffic to your profile.SimilaritiesBoth emphasise and walk you through optimising your profile to encourage follows.Both emphasise and explain why engagement ratios are more important than the number of followers you have.They have virtually identical advice on how and what not to tweet.You'll get similar advice on the importance of off-site content, and how it affects and feeds into Twitter.You can expect both to walk you through some example profiles of famous people, pointing out what they do right and what they do wrong.Both will give you immediate, actionable advice on how you can improve your Twitter experience in general, and hopefully increase your audience size too.Both will explain how likes, retweets, polls and links play into the likelihood of building a following, or how they can be driving people away.Both emphasise the need to interact with other accounts, and how to know when to jump in a conversation.Okay, so which one should you get?Both courses are pretty much on par and would help anyone who's getting started or have small followings improve their Twitter experience quite a bit. But, having now gone through both courses, I feel that they might be better based on whether you're more extroverted or introverted.So, gun to my head, if you're a more outgoing people-person, I recommend you get Danny's Create Your Following.If you're a more introverted and get-to-the-point type, get Daniel's Everyone Can Build a Twitter Audience.That's it, hope this helps someone. My own following is still pretty small, but hopefully things will improve by following what I learned. see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
