Can’t believe it’s only been a month since our new intern joined @elfa_ai ! Since day one, Elfa never cared about vanity metrics. No bots, no airdrop farmers just real users and real engagement. That made our account growth… hard. But here’s how it went: 📍 Feb–June: “Let’s just be useful.” Back when Elfa was still in beta, we ran our X with a simple principle: killer content only. With our giga-brain threadoor @0xKira_, we covered CT narratives with depth, sharpness, and speed. Elfa is an alpha discovery tool, so we wanted people to get value and come back to to our account! That was cool, but reach was limited. So we pivoted to adding more personal commentary and sharper takes (tho it is a project's official account). And then… People started noticing. Smart folks in the space started DMing us saying Elfa finally found its own voice. That meant a lot. Still, growth was slow and steady. 📍 May: “Will videos help?” In May, we were on Elfa V3 (now on V4), and the product actually became… good. So I started making tutorial videos of simple walkthroughs that showed how to use Elfa. They worked. Views were solid. Comments came in. It felt like progress. But still… our growth hit a ceiling. Some people even asked why my account had more followers than the official one. 😅 Of course, the real answer is: Because we didn’t buy fake followers or invited bots. (But I couldn’t say that out loud, so I just smiled and said, “We’re getting there.”) 📍 Then came Shin. One month ago, we brought in an intern: Shin. In just 4 weeks, he brought in +1,182 new followers. And out of our 6,991 followers, 2,968 are verified smart accounts. Check who follows @elfa_ai !! You’ll see accounts that are really hard to reach (huge shoutout to @Onlycryptonopo2 and Elfa's early believer). I checked our account's metrics and this guy is literally EVERYWHERE. He’s making memes, charts, shitposts, trading takes… and he’s doing the replies. Now we’re almost at 7K. And yes, it’s slow. It’s painful. But it’s also real. To everyone out there trying to build something real: Staring at numbers, writing, rewriting, designing, growing from zero, I see you!! You’re not alone!! Thanks, @hypetris_ , for letting us take the hard route. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
