On June 15, I had 600 followers
On July 28, I hit 6,000 followers
the majority of that growth was fueled by four twitter threads I posted
here's a few things i learned about thread making

2/ The first, second, and final tweets are the most important
they attract the most likes + comments
so put your best info in them
First: establish credibility
Second: share your most valuable nugget
Final: go quasi-inspirational
here are all my final tweets

3/ Don't overthink formatting
but keep it consistent
I capitalize the first line
then use lowercase for the body of the tweet
and use a simple numbering system

4/ Don't use emojis to format
emojis feel like a good way to structure your tweets
but they have a way of cheapening the content of the thread
if you want to bullet a tweet
• Hold down the "option" key
• Press the 8 key
or just go with a simple "-"
or no bullets at all

5/ Use specifics
this is true of anything you write but especially twitter threads
specific examples > general thought leadership-y vagueness
thats why all my threads are case studies of sorts
it grounds them in reality

6/ Include pictures
pics are an easy way to supplement your point without spending characters
use them
also, try to screenshot tweets from the mobile version of twitter
they look cleaner

7/ Use tools
@NotionHQ for planning the threads

8/ Sprinkle in some tags
if someone inspired any part of your thread
let them know with a tag
people, even ones with huge followings, love getting tagged in high quality threads
some people i've tagged in the past
@BUSlNESSBARISTA
@austin_rief
@mkobach
@david_perell

9/ Niche is good
I stick to what i know (which is why no Insta thread yet)
but don't go too niche
case and point
this ill-fated Don Quixote thread...

10/ Present with confidence
just like anything in life
don't qualify your learnings
share them boldly
and people will listen
