Thread by @MakadiaHarsh

I sucked at writing threads on Twitter.

But now I generate 4,000,000+ Impressions.

Here 7 lessons I learned the hard way so you don't have to.

Thread 🧵↓

1/ Headline Matters

Keep the headline short and simple with stats/purpose.

A good headline will help your audience to stop scrolling when they see your tweet on their timeline.

Why Is a Good Headline Important?

You need to give reason to your audience to invest their time in what you have written.

With a good hook, you can completely immerse your audience into your content.

People will ignore it if the first tweet doesn't make sense to them.

When you write threads, No one is going to see the sub-tweets at once, Instead, they will only see the first tweet.

This is where your maximum energy should go in.

Tell your personal stories

Personal stories are the ones that get the biggest impression, Everyone loves to hear story especially when you are sharing your experience.

It will bring you more profile clicks, everyone is interested to see who are you.

Format:

1. Tell Problem

2. Tell solution

Just like the headline of this thread :)

2/ Formatting

Good formatting helps your audience to enjoy your tweet.

It's like you giving them a complimentary gift which they can't deny. 🎁

Use Following to level up your game

1. Bullets

2. Emoji's, Symbols ( ➜ )

3. Add proper space to increase readability

4. Break long sentences into multiple small sentences

3/ Use Media

Having a good image, GIF on the sub-threads helps your audience to quickly visualize what your talking about.

You tend to remember and relate faster if you see than you read.

Try to add it wherever it's possible, it's fine if you don't have images.

4/ Summarize everything on the last tweet

Don't leave your audience at a dead end.

You can conclude it in a better way and ask them a favor too.

For example, I use this signature to end all my threads

TL;DR
• Point 1
• Point 2

If you liked this thread,

1. Follow @MakadiaHarsh for more such tips

2. Retweet the first tweet to inspire others.

[ Tweet Link ]

5/ Add a link to your first tweet at the end

This is the best hack you can do to make your audience click and like/RT the first thread by providing a better experience

If your thread is long chances that users will go on top to like or RT the thread is low.

6/ Retweet the tweet that is quote retweeted

To keep the ball rolling and get more impressions, you should retweet those tweets which are quote retweeted by your audience.

DO THIS ONLY if it is shared by some bigger account or has a nice message to show off.

7/ DON'T DO THIS

Don't use hashtags on the first tweet.

Don't add any links on the first tweet, you can always add them in the sub-thread if there are any.

Don't add a longer sentence, as people would find it lazy to read them.

Why did I post this thread?

I want everyone to grow with me.

I love uplifting others.

I would be proud of myself if it works for you too.
