Every morning, I engage with my fave creators & write 6-8 tweets.
All in 30-45 minutes.
With 1 simple method.
Write Once. Tweet Twice.
The Twitter User Evolution:
Consumer → Active Consumer → Creator
You need to live in stages 2 & 3.
Curate a list of creators.
Put creators you like on a Twitter List.
Consume only their content 90% of the time.
With the other 10%, discover new creators to grow your list.
Become an active reader
When a tweet resonates, don’t keep it to yourself.
Write a smart comment.
Smart comments can be:
• related personal stories • additional points • clever jokes
Don’t reword the top tweet & leave it at that.
Now, this is where it gets interesting.
Reword your comment as a top-level tweet.
You’ll want to:
• add context • refine your idea • add an example • say it differently, like a fun A/B test
Same idea. Said 2 ways.
Is this cheating? No
Twitter is just saying the same thing in 1000 different ways.
Not all comments can become tweets.
But this method will:
- make you write smart comments
- which will make you a better engager
- and then a better writer
Now here is the key.
Schedule your reworded tweet to publish 1 week later.
Why?
In a week, 99% of people will have forgotten the lesson.
They need to be reminded.
But don’t stop here.
Think of a continuation tweet & write it.
This can be:
- a listicle
- a companion idea
- a related personal story
Schedule the continuation idea as soon as you want
The beauty of it:
If you get a follower from the smart comment, they immediately get a similar message.
This process produces 1 comment & 2 tweets from every moment of inspiration.
It can easily produce all of your content at the beginning of your Twitter journey.
So to summarize:
- Find a good tweet
- Post a smart comment
- Reword the comment into a top-level tweet
- Schedule for next week
- Write a companion tweet
- Post immediately
- Repeat
