You’ve officially crossed the threshold. Hitting 1,000 followers on Bluesky is a huge milestone, and it means your approach needs to change. This isn’t about just shouting into the void anymore—it's about leading a community.

Ready to take your account from "growing" to "established"? We’ve put together a checklist to help you become a true authority in your niche.

Your Daily Growth Checklist for 1,000+ Followers

  • Post twice a day. Your audience is listening, so every post should be high-quality. You can experiment with different times to find what gets the best engagement.

  • Curate for your community. Repost valuable content twice a day. This builds trust and positions you as a trusted source of information.

  • Don't forget the visuals. At least once a week, make sure you post a visual—a picture, GIF, or meme. This breaks up your feed and grabs attention.

  • Engage, engage, engage. Your audience is your biggest asset.

    • Reply to all DMs and most comments, especially when people ask questions.

    • Like and comment on your followers' posts, adding your unique perspective to the conversation.

  • Take the pulse of your audience. Post a poll occasionally to ask for feedback. What do they want more of? What are their thoughts on your product or service? This makes them feel heard.

  • Jump into the conversation. Don’t just wait for people to come to you. Reply under a popular post to get in front of a new audience, and actively participate in Bluesky conversations related to your niche.

  • Boost your best content. Got a post that’s doing well? Add an auto-plug—a reply to that post with a link or another piece of info—to get even more engagement.

  • Follow selectively. At this stage, your feed is a tool. Follow new people whose content is genuinely great to keep your inspiration and knowledge flowing.
