A thread is an eco system

An interconnected being

A food chain of related tweets

One dies

They all die

Nourish each tweet with the same care and craft

as your most prized individual tweet

They will feed each other's growth

4/21

It starts with story

My mother read to me growing up

I longed for bed time so I could hear the next chapter

My favourite book?

'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'

by CS Lewis

Talk about an engaging title!

5/21

Stories are how we learn

Once we learned speech

It's how our ancestors dominated the planet

By passing on knowledge

Think of your thread

as your brand story

To build your credibility

9/21

Read the headline for this thread again

I crafted it repeatedly

I used alliteration playing on the 'F' sound

In the words followers, 4 and free

Then the 'C' sound on course and credibility

It took a long time to get them to rhyme

10/21

How can you learn to write skilfully?

Find poetry you love

Study the rhythms

Poets select every word for the way it sounds

So should you

11/21

Read your tweets out loud before you post them

Your reader will be *saying* them in their mind

They need to sound good written down

So speak up!

12/21

Typeset your content

Readers on twitter consume ideas more easily

If the lines are broken up

Arrows guide a user

ESPECIALLY in a thread

Take advantage

13/21

Create a yes ladder

The more each tweet causes an internal agreement

the more likely a reader is to agree to a call to action

YES

Constraints drive creativity

Distilling your ideas into a tweet storm

Is a masterclass in writing

It clarifies your thinking

Begin

18/21

The secret is to reveal your secrets

The insight gold that you dug up in your life

Share it and followers will feel compelled to reciprocate

Help them discover something

That took you years to figure out

It will make them wonder what your products must be like...

19/21

So the story comes full circle

Mum I will be forever grateful to you

For nurturing my love of words

If you're lucky enough to have kids

Read to them

If not - read to your inner child

You deserve it
