I agree. Marketing is hard.

With nearly zero Twitter followers, posting to Twitter is a black hole. Even posting to reddit is posting to a black hole unless you get really lucky (lots of upvotes and engagement).

It's a chicken and egg problem. How do you get the word out when nobody listens to what you have to say?

I went through this process last year taking a new project-specific Twitter account for zero to 300+ followers. It's hard but possible! Write good posts consistently, teach people something. Link all your channels together (blog posts should end with an embedded tweet announcing the blog post that people can like) and eventually your followers will grow.
