If you were given a brand new Twitter account and had to grow it 1,000 real subscribers without using your existing brand, how long would it take you and why?

Oh, and no developer or social/digital media topics allowed.

I think almost everyone can get 1,000 real followers in a month, if you put some effort. If you did something interesting in real-life, and you intend to keep doing it, just share your story where people interested in that topic already hang around. Promise that you'll keep sharing more, and people will follow you.

What does "where people interested in that topic generally hang around" mean?

And what counts as interesting?
