Twitter is the most powerful platform because just ONE tweet has the potential to influence the minds of hundreds of thousands of people.

But writing tweets is hard and most people suck at it.

So here's a free 3 step exercise *anybody* can use to become a top 2% Tweet writer:

I approach tweet writing the same way I approach copywriting:

1) Study what's already working
2) Steal the *framework* (Most important step but NOT plagiarism.)
3) Apply framework to my ideas

Here's how you use this 3 step process to become a viral tweet writing machine 👇

1a) Study what's working

Pick 3-5 Twitter accounts you LOVE and aspire to be like.

Add them to a list

Mark list as private (If you don't do this, that account gets notified you added them to a list and may block you)

Now instead of scrolling through your timeline...

you'll scroll through this list.

Every time you see a great tweet

You are going to screencap it and save it into a Google Doc/Notion file.

Do this for a week and you'll have several tweets to learn from

1b) Use advanced search

Go to the search bar in Twitter

Type in:

👇

"from:@yourfavouriteaccount min_faves:1000"

This will give you all the tweets of the account with over 1,000 likes.

You can also sort by retweets by putting in "min_retweets:100"

Sort by both likes and retweets then put all the tweets into your doc.

VERY Important 👇👇

2) Steal framework

Congrats for making it to this tweet because this is where the magic happens.

By now, you've put together what's known as a "swipe file" aka a scrapbook of ideas.

But this is where most people stop.

We're going to beef up your swipe...

file by analyzing each tweet you saved.

Here's how (watch👇)

For each tweet you saved, you are going to answer these questions:

> How did the first part of the tweet get me to stop scrolling?
> Why did this tweet take off?
> What emotional buttons is this tweet pushing?
👇

> How can I replicate this framework/template to my niche?

You are going to do this for 5-10 tweets per day.

Think of it as a journaling and critical thinking exercise but for writing tweets.

Look. I know what you're thinking.

"Eddy this is a shed-load of work!"

To which I..

say

Grow TF up.

Do you want to be a top 2% tweet writer?

Do you want to be so good clients pay you 2-5k/month to write their tweets?

Then do this.

DO IT.

MAKE AN ACTUAL EFFORT.

Or don't.

I don't care.

Last step 👇👇

3) Apply framework to your ideas

After you've analyzed 50+ tweets, you'll be a much.... MUCH better tweet writer

Every week, sit down and read this file for 30mins or so.

Then start writing!

Aim for 2-3 tweets a day (easy) + a one hour session ever week

Stick to this for...

a month and you'll be good enough to start signing ghostwriting clients.
