What the heck are Xitter threads?
These are multiple tweets strung together to create one massive post. You create these threads, add a few hashtags, and send them to the Xitter universe.
Why are they helpful?
Threads let you say more. You can give more helpful content, tell a hilarious story, or add a ton of pics. Because people have to go to the next tweet, you can create suspense and anticipation.
As of 2022, you can pay a monthly subscription to write longer tweets, but if you don't want to or enjoy threads more, you can keep writing threads.
There's two ways to create threads:
- Create them on the website (start a post, then click the + sign at the bottom to add another tweet)
- Schedule them
I schedule my tweets and threads using Hypefury; I like my social media to run in the background while I work on my books.
So, here's some tips for selling more books using threads:
Tip #1: Create writing-related content
Now, before creating a bunch of content, ask your audience what they want to know and see.
This can help you create content your audience thinks is meaningful.
One way to do this is to poll your audience. When you create a tweet, you can choose the poll option, ask a question, and send it to the #writingcommunity.
Many people like tips to write, edit, and market better.
Adding a vivid, fun image to the top of your threads. Some people add gifs throughout to help with engagement.
Note: You don't have to write only writing-related threads. Study your audience and ask them what they want. People build an audience in many ways. |
