1: Decide on the message.
--
Like every video, blog post and article, a thread should at its core have a simple message or objective that you're trying to convey to the reader.
In this thread, I'm sharing tips on how to improve your threads but it could be anything. 2/13

2: Divide into chunks
--
A book gets split into chapters, a video into sections and an article into paragraphs. Tweet threads are no different.
When covering your message, split it's key concepts up into individual tweets and try to keep them contained within one tweet. 3/13

3: Be concise
--
The great thing about tweets is they are limited to 280 characters so there's no room for exposition.
You need to be to the point, concise and use images to your advantage. Remember, an image can tell a 1000 words!

4: Create your assets

I love using images in threads to expand upon the message that tweet is giving and to provide examples of what I'm talking about.
For this I use Figma which I highly recommend checking out, they have a great free tier. 5/13

5: Write your tweets
--
You've got your message to share, the chunks you're dividing them into & the images to pair.
Now all you need to do is write them. Try telling a story as you would with a blog post, start at the beginning and tweet by tweet work to the end. 6/13

6: Sanity Check
--
Now you've written all your tweets, it's time to sanity check them & make sure they tell the story you want to. Answer the following:
Does it flow correctly? Start, Middle & End
Does it convey your message?
Does the image match the text?

Twitter's website is great for sending out tweets/threads on the fly but when it comes to creating content in advance there are better options available.
I use Feedhive and have been a big fan of it! Check it out below! 9/13

9: Time your tweet
--
Often the hardest thing with a tweet is the time you send it out.
If you want the most people to see your tweet you need to time for when your audience is most likely to be online. This gives your content it's best possible return. 10/13

Bonus: Interact with your interaction
--
For maximal reward from your thread, you want to interact with everyone who interacts with you.
Ultimately, if growing an audience is your goal it pays to interact with people and answer their questions and thoughts.
