10 Twitter thread ideas that will get you likes
1. Tell a general and surprising story
this idea from @paulg and is the framework of every good thread
in this example
General = the story of a normal guy obsessed with a cookbook
Surprising = the valuable lesson for creators contained within https://twitter.com/kevinleeme/status/1284184707110809600?s=20">https://twitter.com/kevinleem...

3. Explain a difficult to understand topic
the simple act of converting your knowledge to Twitter will make it more digestible
more digestible = more likes
@SahilBloom does this with financial concepts https://twitter.com/SahilBloom/status/1259141067938557952?s=20">https://twitter.com/SahilBloo...

4. Give vague advice
difficult to pull off, but still effective
this is arguably the most iconic thread on Twitter...yet there& #39;s very little specific advice in it
if you take this approach, you better have some unique insights https://twitter.com/naval/status/1002103360646823936?s=20">https://twitter.com/naval/sta...

5. Give specific advice
using myself as an example here
this resonated because it had actionable advice
I don& #39;t have @naval level insights, so I have to provide tangible value https://twitter.com/tobydoyhowell/status/1272674455681024000?s=21">https://twitter.com/tobydoyho...

6. Tell a personal story
if something hilarious happened to you, thread it
this was live tweeted which made it feel even more authentic https://twitter.com/nameshiv/status/1301521850552315904?s=20">https://twitter.com/nameshiv/...

7. Get insanely niche
this person used their background as a computer programmer to figure out if digital pregnancy tests are more accurate
can& #39;t go more niche than that https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301707401024827392?s=20">https://twitter.com/Foone/sta...

8. Combine niches
the majority of people know @david_perell as the writing guy
he recently wrote this thread about golf (which he is also obsessed with)
combining those two niches resulted in something both general and surprising https://twitter.com/david_perell/status/1307811967428702208?s=21">https://twitter.com/david_per...

9. Give peeks behind the curtain
there& #39;s a reason why NFL Hard Knocks does so well
people crave insider access https://twitter.com/austin_rief/status/1300789368576188416?s=20">https://twitter.com/austin_ri...

10. Do a case study
the first tweet in this thread is an insightful point on its own
but then @donyetaylor uses specific brands to back up her claim
resulting in a business school-level case study laid out on twitter https://twitter.com/donyetaylor_/status/1301901806381838336?s=20">https://twitter.com/donyetayl...
