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

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

4. Give vague advice
difficult to pull off, but still effective
this is arguably the most iconic thread on Twitter...yet there'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

5. Give specific advice
using myself as an example here
this resonated because it had actionable advice
I don't have @naval level insights, so I have to provide tangible value https://twitter.com/tobydoyhowell/status/1272674455681024000?s=21

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

7. Get insanely niche
this person used their background as a computer programmer to figure out if digital pregnancy tests are more accurate
can't go more niche than that https://twitter.com/Foone/status/1301707401024827392?s=20

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

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

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
