Tiny Twitter hacks I learned & love

Tiny yet cool Twitter hacks that I’m slowly accumulating over all the daily practice and observing how other high follower accounts do it:

• The Related tweet at the end of a thread - add a related tweet to keep the reader reading. How brilliant to apply something from blogs to a Twitter thread!
• RTing yesterday’s tweets about 12h later to catch followers from a different timezone.
• Undoing RTs of my own tweets the next day so that my profile feed wouldn’t have annoying repeats of the same tweets.
• Replying to other people’s tweets using my own tweet (pasting the tweet url) plus some personal comments - a way to increase engagement on the tweet/profile, especially if a tweet is already going viral and you want to bump it up further. Similar effect to a RT/QT by someone else, or sharing links to your blog.
• Setting time slots for certain types of content
  • 6am: 1st RT of yesterday’s tweet,
  • 7am: 2nd RT of yesterday’s tweet,
  • 11am: 5am club tweets,
  • 1-2pm: RT of popular tweets from way back,
  • 4pm: founder/creator tweets,
  • 6pm: creator + writing tweets
• Scheduling batch notifications for Twitter - to reduce distractions during the day, and receive your notifications only when you want them
• When I struggle to come up with good tweets, it’s a sign I’m not replying enough to other people’s tweet (similar to not reading enough for writing)
• Scoping a tweet to just one core idea is common knowledge, but pairing it with one emotion to trigger in the reader was a game-changer
• Reply to someone’s original tweet in their profile page each time they like/reply/RT to my writing tweet - this is like building relationships with the right kind of potential customers, and building the funnel
• Going viral and getting shit ton of likes and replies doesn’t mean a thing if it doesn’t move the needle on your goal, whichever it may be. It could be user acquisition, it could be more profit. Mine is MRR growth. I got viral tweets but it didn’t bring any MRR. Then I changed my approach and got less likes, but more MRR. Don’t let vanity metrics blind you to your North Star metric.
• Twitter fights - sometimes worth it, most of the time, a plain waste of time. Just avoid.
• Sometimes just asking a question in a reply to a high follower account that no one had thought of asking but wanted to know gets the most views, not a smart-ass, cleverly crafted reply.
