Twitter

1. Account Criteria

Let’s start by figuring out what to look for when buying accounts. There are two main types:

A) Ready-Made Accounts — These are active accounts that already have followers and retweets. The main perk here is that you instantly get an audience without having to build it up yourself. Ideally, you want these accounts to have a few hundred retweets. Also, make sure to check the registration date.

B) Author Reggies — These are completely blank accounts with no followers or content. They give you the chance to create a unique profile from scratch, which is great if you want to run the account in your own style and grow your audience on your own. But keep in mind, this option takes more time and effort to promote.

When deciding between these account types, think about your goals, budget, and how much time you’re willing to invest. Figure out what matters more to you: quick results or the chance to develop creatively from the ground up.

Criteria for Ready-Made Accounts:

• Registration Date: from 2017 onward
• Retweets: at least 300-400
• Followers: between 1,000 and 3,000

Criteria for Blank Author Reggies:

• Registration Date: from 2017 onward

2. Purchase and Setup

Alright, now that we’ve covered the basic criteria for accounts, let’s dive into the buying process. We won’t be recommending specific stores here, but you can get Twitter accounts based on referrals from affiliates or experienced users in chats. You can also check out the first few stores that pop up in your search.

First up, install an anti-detect browser, which we talked about in the security guide. Why do you need this? To better fit Twitter's algorithms and avoid losing your account in a couple of hours. You’ll also need clean proxies—ideally, use proxies that match the city where the account was registered.

Now, let’s talk about proxies. We recommend using Pia S5 as a solid alternative to the old 911 service. The link has a referral code, so you can get 8% more proxies. Grab 200 proxies for $48—that's 200 solid accounts.

If you’re on a budget, you can go with any public service for buying proxies. Just keep in mind that any action, even searching on Google, might trigger captchas. But you can always reach out to customer support and ask for a replacement. Avoid options that cost less than 100 rubles each.

Next, let’s link the account. Head over to sms-activate.org to get a long-term rental number for up to 30 days. I recommend skipping Russian numbers, even if they seem cheap. It’s better to choose numbers from Europe. Keep an eye on your rental to make sure it doesn’t expire. If Twitter asks for verification, you’ll need to confirm everything. For extra trust with Twitter, add an email that you can register with Gmail.

3. Setting Up the Account

Editing and managing your profile is crucial for success on social media. You need to pay attention to filling out your profile to create a real impression. In your bio, include info about your work, a contact email, and other details to build trust. Never pretend to be a crypto expert. Instead, create accounts aimed at newcomers in that space. For example, out of 100 retweets, only 2-3 should be about cryptocurrencies.

If you bought an account without followers, go ahead and boost it to 2-3k followers (don’t try to get more than 10k, as that looks suspicious).

Here are some panels for boosting:

Once you’ve got the account, it’s time to spruce up your Twitter. I recommend finding an NFT and linking your account to it. Below are some examples.

Here are some nice accounts that look good and are pretty easy to create in Figma!

Building trust with the “mammoth” (or target audience) is super important, if not the key factor in our work. When setting up your social media profiles, you need to be responsible and not slack off. Think carefully about your username, description, and choose a good avatar, and so on.

Let’s start with the username. You can use a randomly generated name and surname from any name generator, but it’s better to come up with something unique that’s related to the web3 world. It can be helpful to look at profiles of other “mammoths” and tweak them a bit. Avoid adding ".eth" to random words, as it makes it easy for the mammoth to find that username. Overall, ".eth" acts like your own crypto domain registered by the mammoth.

As for your login/tag, make sure it’s in sync with your profile name.

It's important to realize that constantly bragging about your achievements in crypto, NFTs, and the like can raise suspicions. People will start asking questions that you might struggle to answer.

Try to create the image of an ordinary person who, besides being into NFTs and web3, has other interests too. Mention your country and city, share your thoughts (you can get ideas from other users). Gather some retweets and share posts that aren’t related to NFTs.

What header should you choose? Again, you don’t need to focus on crypto. You’re just an everyday person, not a crypto robot.

As for the avatar, avoid using super-popular NFTs like Bored Ape Yacht Club or Azuki, as that can make you look like a bot. If you want to use an NFT, go for a lesser-known collection—check out “no-name collections” for some cool finds. You can mention in your profile that you own that collection. Alternatively, you can use a regular photo of a person, especially if you’re a PR manager or something similar.

For the bio, no need to overload it with buzzwords like "anime" or "NFT" to look like a cool crypto guru. A few words to highlight your interests will do just fine. Let’s create the vibe of a real person! You could mention that you’re studying at university or that you love pizza, for example.
