How to Write Effective Twitter/X Threads

  • Start with a hook that grabs attention in the first tweet
  • Keep each tweet focused on one main point
  • Use numbered tweets (1/10, 2/10) to show thread length
  • End with a call-to-action (follow, retweet, visit link)
  • Add relevant hashtags to the last tweet for better reach
  • Use line breaks to improve readability
  • Preview your thread before posting to check flow

Character Count Tips

  • Links count as 23 characters on X, regardless of actual length
  • Mentions (@username) count toward character limit
  • Hashtags (#) count as characters, use them wisely
  • Emojis typically count as 1-2 characters depending on type
  • Save space by using abbreviations where appropriate
  • Break long content into multiple posts or threads

Why Character Count Matters
