101 Ways Ways to Write a Tweet
It all begins with an idea…
Welcome. Thank you for purchasing 101 Ways to Write A Tweet.
This book is a compilation of the best ways to write tweets. To put 101 Ways together, I sat down and interviewed some of the biggest accounts on social media. The goal was to find out how they produce content. It is a look behind the scenes. It is a look into their laboratory. This is powerful knowledge because it is everyone's best practice. It is everyone’s playbook... and now it is yours.
If you use this book wisely, you will never run out of ideas. You can literally turn to any page and write multiple tweets based on each method. The key is to not just use the knowledge but to put it into action. After you put it into action, pay attention to what methods work for you. Pay attention to how you come up with ideas. Pay attention to what words resonate with your audience.
The goal is to not only show you what we do but to make you more aware.
A few do’s and don’ts before you get started….

101 Ways to to Write a Twe Tweet et - Conventional Ways to Tweet
1. The Platitude
Let’s start with the most conventional tweet: The Platitude.
Platitudes often get a bad rap on Twitter. It is because they do not feel authentic to the majority of serious consumers on the platform. People are primarily on Twitter to make connections and platitudes exist to increase engagement. I don’t recommend tweeting platitudes all day on your timeline, but every now and then is fine. Just make sure the advice is somewhat actionable. You don’t want to turn into a full-time fortune cookie account.
NOTE: Consume NOTE: Consume great content to make your platitudes feel more unique.

You can always add a follow up tweet and turn the platitude into a thread. The tweet on the right ⇨ went went viral so I used it as an opportunity to dive deeper into the subject. This will make you sound more authentic.

2. The Story Platitude by Get Paid Writing (@getpaidwrite) This is one of my favorite tricks.
Platitudes get great engagement, but anyone can post a platitude. The trick is to make your platitude something that only you could post by blending it with your story. The best way is to briefly tell your story, then conclude with the “lesson” at the end (the platitude part).

Finish the tweet with the platitude. Use the platitude as the moral of the story.
Example Here, I took two pretty standard platitudes: “Failure is just the next step to success.” “It's never too late to change your path.” path .” But I mixed them in with my story to illustrate it. This makes it more relatable and much much more more effective.

3. I have a rule…
I have a theory… people theory… people secretly love rules. rules. I learned this while teaching public school for 20 years. When you give children firm rules, they perform better. Adults are not much different. I believe most people innately crave structure, and because of this, tweets that involve rules are powerful. You can give the audience one rule or you can make a list of rules. It doesn’t matter. Your goal is to frame the rules in a straightforward, yet interesting way.
Ideas: I Ideas: I have a rule, rules for young men, rules for life, the blueprint to wealth, rules for trading stocks... these are all examples of frameworks for “rule” tweets.

4. The Repeat After Me Tweet by Steve Adcock (@steveonspeed)
People love inspirational tweets if they are written in a fun and creative way. Positive and inspirational tweets do well, but including “Repeat after me” at the top of the tweet helps to capture the attention of your audience (because few Twitter accounts use this strategy).
Try to hit on what your followers are struggling with at the moment. If you do, they will probably RT your tweet, but will definitely comment, comment, which will boost your tweet’s engagement.

5. The Before and After by Your Your Friend Frie nd Andy (@OhHaiAndy) I like the before and after tweet for a few reasons. It's a great way to do a humblebrag and establish some credibility and show success. But more than that, it's a great way to frame that success with how far you've come. That makes it relatable and accessible. The other big reason I like these tweets is it lets you apply it to the reader with a directive like "you can do this too" or "if you think you can't do this, you're wrong." It's true, gets them fired up, and is an engagement powerhouse. The other beautiful thing about these tweets is they are follower magnets. People love numbers, accomplishments, rags to riches, etc.

7. Make It a Theme by Joey (@thepsypren (@thepsyprenuer) uer) I had a daily tweet series called Psychology Fact of the Day. I kept it going for almost 400 days, then ended it. I’d share a quick fact about cognitive science and if there was room, examples of its effects or ways it could be applied. It helped cement me as the psychology guy in our community. People knew those would be coming every single day.

8. Stream of Consciousness
This is my new favorite way to write tweets. Pick a topic and rattle off about a paragraph worth of information. I think of this tweet like like a form of a brain dump. The end result should feel like you are talking directly to the audience. There is no formatting. Just mix long and short sentences to create rhythm. You want the end result to exude passion and authenticity.
NOTE: I NOTE: I prefer to write this in one big block of text. It helps keep the energy moving.

9. I don’t know who needs to hear this...
I don’t know who needs to hear this but, “I don’t know who needs to hear this” tweets perform very well on the timeline. This is a meme that has been used for a long-time on Twitter but it still works. This meme has a rare combination of exuding energy while creating suspense.
These tweets are also easy to write. Just title the post, “I don’t know who needs to hear this” and provide one piece of advice. In the tweet below, I combine it with “#8 Stream of Consciousness” to give it even more energy. Your advice can be serious or you can even turn it into a joke.

10. Tell a Story by Middle Aged Survivor (@aged_survivor)
To me, a great tweet is a cross-section between good storytelling, genuine personal experience, and pertinent topics of the day. Platitude tweets as always will get engagement. There are a number of topics that everyone should hit every week because to keep engagement high. However, to make a great tweet that brings in highly engaged followers, you must tell a story from your own experience that will resonate and touch the sore spots in people's lives.
Telling a story will bring followers and build relationships. Some have brought me over 100 new followers. On top of that, I’ve received DM’s requesting some personal advice or coaching. People feel like they know you when you open up. Don’t be afraid to dip into your personal experiences, even the painful ones are gems of wisdom that can help inspire others.

There are many ways to write one of these tweets. To start ask yourself, “what “ what would my audience what to hear in the morning?” morning?” You can give a piece of advice that involves a morning routine or simply wish everyone a Good Morning.

16. Define Important Words (in your niche) by SaveY Sav eYourSons ourSons (@SaveY (@SaveYourSons) ourSons) Simply offering your definition definition of a ‘hot’ word in your niche can go a long way toward getting impressions and followers. Do you talk about marketing? Great. Define it in a unique way. “Marketing is really just ….” Do you talk about financial independence? Define it. “Financial independence means no longer having to xyz….”
These types of tweets always spark conversation. The conversation is great for impressions. And they allow you the chance to look like an expert or a thinker in your niche.
Note: Don’t Note: Don’t simply use the dictionary definition for these. They have to include your unique unique thoughts. They must include your twist on the definition. The idea is to make people think, ‘oh yeah, that is a is a better way to think about xyz topic!”

Tweets are most successful when they’re relatable. And they’re most relatable when you tweet about what everyone is thinking about. Look for major holidays or big events. Then tweet about them. It doesn't need to be direct, but if it’s related to the event in some way people will connect with it.
If everyone is already thinking about your tweet topic before they see it then your work is done.

18. The Actionable Tweet by Idyllic Finance (@IdyllicFinance) The Actionable Tweet is one of my favorites because it's short, simple, and gives the reader clear steps. All it requires is one main topic that you then break down into 3-5 simple steps. The key is to pick a valuable topic, and then provide 3-5 DIRECTLY ACTIONABLE steps that the reader can pursue right away. Here are some ideas: -

19. The Simplified Blueprint by Get Paid Writing (@getpaidwrite) I got this one from JK Molina. He calls it a “roadmap” but I think of it as a simplified blueprint.
Take the path to success in your field, or a project. Anything that is made up of a series of steps. Then simplify them to an absurd degree. Post it as a numbered list. The key is to make it sound so easy it’s almost unbelievable that it’s that simple (without actually being untrue).
Everyone knows that there is a bit more to it than that. But they will be inspired by the basic blueprint.

20. Clickbait 1-Liners With a Redirect Redirect by F F.I. .I. Squirrel (@FI_Squirrel) A fun way to to get people people engaged engaged with your content content is to hook them them in with a catchy first first line, lead lead them down a path that gets them doubting you, then redirect them at the end. The first line will draw them in while the middle of the tweet can provide edgy content that keeps them reading. Just when your reader is fired up and preparing to roast you in the comments you can redirect them to your message at the end. The closing statement can be used to deliver a humorous punchline or strong message.

21. Tell Tell No One (but tell everyone) This is a counter-intuitive meme. People love it when you tell them not to talk about telling anyone anything. On the surface it doesn’t make sense but remember, people crave extra motivation to dig deeper. “Telling no one” is an effective way to channel energy. That is why it resonates.
This tweet works various ways: -
Neve Neverr te tell anyon yone yo your g go oals
-
Tell nobody…
-
Move in silence
-
Go monk mode
-
Use th the wo word “d “disappear”

22. In 6-months You Can Accomplish Anything Six months seems to be the perfect amount of time. It’s not too far into the future yet it’s just the right amount of time to get things done. In our minds, it’s a timeframe that feels feasible. These tweets are flexible. You can turn them into a list or use them as a motivational tool. Combine it with other techniques. Since it’s time sensitive one of my favorite ways is to think of it as a reminder.
Note: I Note: I spent a lot of time studying the markets and and oddly enough there's a saying on Wall Street, “The Stock Market moves 6 months ahead of the news.” This meme is bigger than Money Twitter.

Money Twitter Twitter is great. But they often make things seem way too easy. I get it, it’s great for engagement and it encourages people to start. I’ve done it too. But the flip side is that it can be really easy to see your own lack of success and give up.

27. Ask a question (with a limitation) This is counterintuitive but when you place a limitation on your question you get more responses. The reason is that audiences LOVE to participate when you restrict their choices because they only need to think of ONE thing. You are making it easier for them to answer.
I think of questions with limitations as a form of a writing prompt.

28. Use a Quote Quotes are the easiest way to write a tweet since you don’t actually write the bulk of the tweet. But it isn’t as easy as it sounds. The trick is to find excellent source material. Make material. Make a list of historical figures in your niche. Then find validated quotes that have performed well (Goodreads, Twitter).
I use these sparingly (it feels like cheating) and always try to add a personal touch. I either add a painting or a personal experience or at least a thought to the quote.
NOTE: If the quote performed well on another site it is likely to perform well on your timeline.

29. The One-Liner (with Value F Follow ollow Up) by by SaveYourSons SaveYourSons (@Sav (@SaveY eYourSons) ourSons) Let’s face the truth: we truth: we all know one-liners and simple platitude-type affirmations get great engagement. If your goal is to grow your Twitter account, you are going to need to get comfortable posting these types of short, pithy statements. But let’s also face this truth: if truth: if all you tweet are simple little platitudes or one-liners, you aren’t establishing a connection with your audience. You aren’t establishing authority. And you are going to have a hard time monetizing your account because you are ultimately trafficking in low-substance, low value, dopamine hits for your readers. So what’s the solution? One way to get the best of both worlds. Use worlds. Use what I call the “value follow up”. Here’s how it works: You tweet your little one-liner. Tweet that platitude. Fire it off. Get some good engagement going. No shame in that. Then, when it’s clear you’ve got a well-performing tweet on your hands, add a follow-up tweet that further expands on the idea.
Guidelines
1.

49. Uncomfortable Fact by Joey Joey (@thepsy (@thepsyprenuer) prenuer) As I got going on Twitter Twitter last year, year, I noticed the phrase phrase “unpopular “unpopular opinion” opinion” was commonly commonly used used as it would easily generate some extra engagement.
I decided to take that up a notch by writing “uncomfortable facts” - a step above opinions.
When I write them, I often make them a clear fact which goes against conventional wisdom / common knowledge.

50. Tweet Tweet in the Shower You get your best ideas in the shower. This is a scientific fact.
The reason why is because you are isolated. You are relaxed. At the same time, you are receiving a dopamine hit. You are (usually) alone and your mind has an opportunity to wonder. This is the perfect recipe for creativity. Take advantage of this opportunity and put your ideas into words.
NOTE: If NOTE: If you are shower in the morning, I highly recommend tweeting about your upcoming day. It will be on your mind and will be easy subject material.

51. Tweet With Music Grab a pair of noise-canceling headphones and put some music on. Any process that gets you isolated and in the zone is the perfect combination for idea creation. Classical music and Synthwave are my personal choices. Actively listen along with the music. Focus your attention on the music. The point is to get in the zone. Keep a notepad or keyboard ready. Ideas will come to you.
NOTE: Avoid NOTE: Avoid music with words. Words will cloud your thoughts. Instrumental only.
AoP’s Recommended Music
1.
Classical: Mozart, Beethoven, Shostakovich, Brahms Symphonies,
2.
Rachmaninov Piano Concertos, Liszt Piano, Hans Zimmer Synthwave: FM-84, Mitch Murder, Daft Punk (instrumental only) Young American Primitive, Morgan Willis, Timecop1983

They show a bit more personally than a regular tweet and it’s a unique opportunity to teach something. It’s a cool thing that no one else does. It also helps with improvisational skills. The hardest part is that you need to be able to talk about something on short notice.

57. Start with a Picture by Get Paid Writing (@getpaidwrite) Lots of people use pictures in their tweets. But generally, what happens is you come up with a tweet and then look for an image to fit. If you’re struggling for tweet ideas though, you can reverse it. Go wherever you like for good images. Instagram, Google, Pinterest, etc. I like Pinterest because it’s good at suggesting images in similar styles to the ones that I’ve pinned already. Scroll through the images, and take time to look at them. Use the picture as inspiration.

58. Tweet on the Run by Get Paid Writing (@getpaidwrite) I go for a short run most mornings. Being outside and moving is often the best way to come up with new ideas. Inspiration comes to you. Especially when you’re expending more effort than normal. The big problem is remembering it when you get back. Keep repeating it in your head.
My favorite way to do that is to work through the editing while I’m running. The idea comes to you, try and work out how you’d phrase it and deliver the message before you get home. That way as soon as you get back you can load it up.

The larger your account becomes the more authority you have. Use this to your advantage. Confidently state that your way is the best way, or assert your opinion on a polarizing topic. This works best if you fire off opinions in your niche. If you stay in your niche you will have the most authority. After you give your opinion make sure you can back it up with proof.
Anthony’s Tips

Use simple language. Be confident.

Have proof to back up your claim (i.e. show your physique, show how you became rich).

68. Talking to Narcissists by F F.I. .I. Squirrel (@FI_Squirrel) This is one of my favorite ways to craft a tweet that suggests what NOT to do. We all either work with, are friends with, or are related to a narcissist. I love to tweet about being selfless and serving others. Narcissists provide endless content for me as they constantly remind me of the attributes I wish to avoid. Rather than walk away from a negative interaction with frustration, I try to pull value from all conversations. Content is literally everywhere.

An easy way to create a successful tweet is to give the people what they want and go back in time. If you get lucky enough and hit on the right topic or image these tweets can easily go viral.

79. Use Visuals by Excel in Math Math (@Excel _In_Math) _In_Math) The brain processes visual information 60,000 times faster than it processes text. Whenever possible, use visuals in your tweet to get your point across. It must be informative, but also visually aesthetic. Ultimately the visuals are going to help you make your point. Find images online, create your own graphic, or my personal favorite, create graphs and charts with Microsoft Excel.
Excel’s Guidelines
1.
The purpose of your visual should be clear and should enhance your tweet, not make it confusing.
2.
Scale your image so the dimensions are proportional to the recommended 1200x675 pixels without distorting it.
3.
Aesthetics matter. Use colors that compliment
4.
Have fun with it. With some creativity, anything can be turned into a graphic.

80. Look at What Haters Hate, Then Tweet That
WARNING. This is Dangerous. If you do not enjoy conflict, avoid this tactic.
When your account gets bigger you are bound to attract trolls. I strongly suggest blocking accounts that cross the line but haters might be able to inspire future content. Take a look at what Tweets they are complaining about. This is your most polarizing content. Take note of the language and continue to move further in that direction (just be ready to feel more heat).

81. The I Hate the 9-5 Tweet by Idyllic Fina Finance nce (@IdyllicFinance) 9-5 Tweets remind people of the big picture. Let’s face it, many people become too comfortable with their jobs. It makes them blind to what truly matters. The 9-5 Tweet provides a CTA for the reader to look beyond. All you need to do is pick one CORE subject that's MORE IMPORTANT than a 9-5 and compare them to each other. The key is to pick an EXTREMELY VALUABLE core subject that zooms out and shows the reader what matters.
Here are some ideas for subjects to compare the 9-5 with: -
Family

Your DMs (Direct Messages) on Twitter are a GREAT place to find inspiration for more tweets.
For instance, did someone say something completely stupid (or just weird) in a DM to you? Or, maybe someone wrote you a DM to say how much they enjoy your content.

I like to take a money Twitter trope, combine it with another one and make it a little ridiculous. But you have to make it really obvious. People didn’t get that “move in silence” was a joke. That meant it did really well but not as effective as a joke.

101 Ways Ways to Write a Tweet
101. Your Your Content is your life life... ... You can learn every trick in the book. You can learn every single hack. You can find out exactly what the audience wants and then give it to them exactly the way they want it. All of these observations are smart but none of them will help you build a unique brand.
How do I stand out in a sea of generic accounts?
Let face it, most people on Twitter play it too safe. They are in the game for likes and they are afraid of saying what they really think. No one wants to get their account canceled. And it is not just content creators who experience this... it is a by-product of our society. Everyone wants to stick to the approved narrative because it is comfortable, but comfortable does not equal progress.
This brings me to the most important lesson: You need to share your story and your ideas. If your ideas are polarizing, naturally some people will not like them. That is a GOOD thing. It thing. It means you are being authentic. You aren’t trying to fit in and that is what makes social media special. If I wanted to hear an approved narrative I can just turn on the TV. Polarizing ideas spur debates. Polarizing ideas generate conversation and lead to fresh ideas. Polarizing ideas change the world. world.
Getting hate probably means you’re doing something right.
Ultimately, all of your content should be an extension of your life for this reason. You can steal all of these hacks. You can steal all of these methods but no one can steal being YOU. YOU. Take a moment to realize that your life story is unique. No one has ever experienced the same events you have in the exact same way . You have a unique story and it is your job to share it with the world.
Take action. Start the process and get writing w riting TODAY. TODAY.
All I ask is that you put your your heart and and soul into into it…
Best of luck,
