I started writing threads because I loved reading them, I never knew how powerful they could be.
In 3 months I got >360% new amazing followers by just writing 20 threads.
And if I can do it YOU most definitely can.
So here goes.
The MEGA thread on threads.

1. Why you should write threads
1a) Writing to learn and reflect
Reflecting on things you learn is a very good way to internalise knowledge.
Some ppl keep a journal, others write threads.
Moreover as @lennysan said writing is the best way to become more knowledgeable in an area you are interested in.
1b) Sharing is caring
I tend to write about things that I did not know myself that I wish someone told me.
I am sure you have things you learnt in life that you wish someone told you.
* Dare to experiment
* Write about things you would like to read
* Spend time and do research, quality shows
* Great timing is everything
* Be inspired by others
5d) And for threads, followers > likes
Even your less liked threads will often give you more new followers than the same regular tweets.
For the "unsuccessful" thread above I at least got a dozen new followers.
More than I got from my most popular non-thread tweet.
5e) Threads are often evergreen
Contrary to the popular max 280 words tweets, that often become obsolete already the next day, great threads live much longer.
With content that people can learn from and bookmark for the future your tweets can stay in peoples' mind forever.
