Leverage Power Profiles
The @dwr Power: The @dwr.eth account is a great example of a high-engagement profile. Find similar channels in your niche and collaborate! Some of our favorites: @Jesse of Variant; @Jessepollak of Coinbase.
Engage with Subject Matter Experts
Identify 10 accounts in your field and actively engage with their posts. Leave thoughtful comments, answer questions, and participate in discussions. Here's a bonus tip: follow accounts that complement your expertise, not directly compete with it.

Follow-Gate Your Frames
Create valuable, informative and composable frames (think blog posts or infographics) and offer them as gated content. Users will need to follow you to unlock the goodies. This is a great way to incentivize followers while providing high-quality content. I.e. listen to Wu-Tang Clan’s Once Upon a Time in Shaolin gated by NFTs on base (in time for onchain summer…more on this later).
