Content is king, but format is queen.

Your content can be great, but if its not easy to consume, it won't be seen.

How can you improve your tweeting style?

By stealing from the best.

A thread👇 Image
1/ Punch liners

Clear statements about something written in one line.

Something that can ignite a conversation, a thought or action.

@jackbutcher is a master at this. +80% of his tweets are like that. Image
2/ Punch liners (part 2)

Punch liners also work if they are controversial.

And for that, @shl is your go to guy.

Him being not your usual VC makes his one liners very popular. Image
3/ Lists

Who doesn't love a bunch of actionable steps compressed on one tweet?

It gives a clear guide to follow. "First do this, then this to achieve this".

Perfect examples by @dvassallo and @david_perell ImageImage
4/ Multiple mention

Tweets that mention a lot of people/brands are also popular.

Its a win-win, you spread the word about them and they like or RT your content.

Besides, it looks aesthetically pleasing.

Examples by @bramk and @mkobach ImageImage
5/ The thread starter

The tweet that starts a thread needs to be like a newspaper headline.

If it includes numbers ($$$), better.

Perfect example by @ianrborthwick Image
6/ Bonus track: Rise of visual twitter

We can thank this trend to @jackbutcher and @visualizevalue

This kind of tweets consist of one sentence (normally a quote) and its visual interpretation.

Beautiful. Image
End/ What now?

Take this examples and:
- Steal them
- Remix them
- Create your own

Engagement bait: Yes or No?

In most cases, No.

In these examples I'll show you next, Yes.

Here are 4 examples of "engagement bait" done right:
Before diving in, my take:

Engagement bait is OK as long as:

- It has a clear purpose (for example, audience research)
- And it's done with a balance

Having that said, let's dive into the actual examples 👇
🌶️ Hot takes

This is a classic.

Post a niche hot take and watch people flood your replies.

50% will agree with you.
The other 50%...

A hot take needs to:

- Be short and to the point
- Make a strong statement
- Leave no room for interpretation.

What if I told you it's possible to grow an audience on Twitter by just investing 35 minutes a day?

Here's how (highly tactical thread incoming):
The biggest pain point when I ask people why aren't they tweeting is

"I don't have time"

But being active on Twitter is too valuable to be left aside.

We can all try to spare 35 min per day.

Let me show you the best way to use that time to grow on Twitter 👇
What?
Content Creation

Time?
15 min

What to do?
Enough to write & schedule 1-2 high-quality tweets

Why I killed my daily newsletter

This is not a "look at these amazing results" thread.

This is a "look at how I failed and what I learned from it" thread.

Transparency time for The Steal Club:
If you were around The Steal Club recently, you must have noticed my daily email experiment.

It worked fine, I was getting good feedback...

but it didn't work for me. Image
I write The Steal Club mostly for fun.

I'm not fooling myself, though; it's also part of my business.

But the one thing I know for sure is that I’m not writing it to generate stress for myself.

Writing daily did that.

You are making a fatal mistake with your content.

You are ASSUMING what your audience wants when you should be STEALING it.

Here's a 2-minute guide on how to do it:
Common creator mistake: Creating content based on your own assumptions.

Sometimes, you'll be right.
Most of the time, you won't.

So, how can we create content that resonates?

Two paths:

One works if you already have an audience. The second works even if you don't have one 👇
1/ If you have an audience…ask them directly

Sounds easy, right?

But a simple question won't do.

"What do you want me to write more about?" will get you a few replies.

It's a boring question.

But imagine you ask this (cc @jayclouse) 👇

I stole 9 unconventional newsletter growth strategies from the top creators in the industry.

If you are struggling to grow your email list, read this:
#1 - The newsletter ad break

Newsletter plugs are often found after a tweet or as the final tweet of a thread.

Not for @abhishekshah173.

This was the first time I saw a "newsletter ad break" in the middle of a thread. Kinda like a newsletter ad.

Smart! Image
@abhishekshah173 #2 - The Before-After

The day before publishing your newsletter, post about it by telling people what they can find inside.

The day after, send out another post to recap what they missed.

@thejustinwelsh used to do this all the time and soon, 100s of creators followed 👇 Image
