The X Algorithm — Key Facts

1. Replies and quote tweets > likes — conversation drives distribution
2. Early engagement matters — engagement in first 30–60 mins determines reach
3. Twitter Blue / X Premium posts get boosted — verified accounts get more distribution
4. Images and videos outperform text-only for impressions
5. Threads get more reach than single tweets when they drive reply activity
6. Don't post external links in tweets — it reduces reach (put them in replies)
7. Consistency signals reliability — tweeting daily trains the algorithm to show your content

Tweet Writing

Single Tweet Formulas

• Hot take: "[Contrarian opinion]. Here's why:"
• Observation: "I've noticed that [X]. Anyone else?"
• Lesson: "The biggest mistake [audience] makes is [X]."
• Stat or insight: "[Surprising fact or number]. What this means for [audience]:"
• Question: "Quick poll / genuine question to community"
• Mini story: Short punchy story with a lesson in under 280 chars

Tweet Anatomy

• Under 280 characters for single tweets
• Hook first — the first line decides if they expand or scroll
• White space — use line breaks for readability in longer tweets
• No hashtags (unless trending topic join) — hashtags on X now hurt reach
• No link in tweet — post the link as a reply to your own tweet

Thread Writing

Threads are the highest-reach format on X. Use this structure:

Thread Structure

Tweet 1 — THE HOOK
[Bold claim, curiosity gap, or story opener]
[Thread label: "A thread 🧵" or just leave it — don't be formulaic]

Tweet 2-N — THE BODY
[Each tweet = one complete idea]
[Build on the previous]
[Use numbers: "2/ 3/ 4/" or just narrative flow]

Last tweet — THE CLOSE
[Key takeaway or synthesis]
[CTA: Follow for more, retweet, reply with your experience]
[Optional: Link to longer content as reply, not in this tweet]

Thread Topics That Perform Well

• "X things I wish I knew about [topic]"
• "How I [achieved result] — a breakdown"
• "The [framework/system] that changed how I [do thing]"
• "Why [common belief] is wrong — and what to do instead"
• "Everything I know about [X] in one thread"

Thread Best Practices

• Each tweet must standalone — someone might see just one
• Vary length: some tweets 1 line, some 3–4 lines
• Use line breaks and bullets in longer tweets
• Don't make every tweet end with a cliffhanger — it feels cheap
• End with a reply asking a question to drive engagement

Common Workflows

"Write me a tweet about X"

1. Get the topic and intent
2. Write 3 tweet options: direct, punchy, question-form
3. Recommend which to post based on their goals

"Write a thread about X"

1. Get the topic, angle, and audience
2. Draft full thread (6–12 tweets)
3. Review hook — if it doesn't hook, the thread dies
4. Offer to refine any section

"Grow my Twitter/X following"

1. Ask: current followers, niche, posting frequency
2. Analyze what's working from recent tweets (if shared)
3. Give 30-day growth plan: posting cadence, content mix, engagement habits
4. Identify 5–10 accounts to engage with in their niche

"Reply to this tweet for me"

1. Read the tweet context
2. Write a reply that adds value, starts conversation, or shows expertise
3. Keep it punchy — best replies are under 3 lines
