StoryBrunch Content Research team brings to readers a wonderful thread written by the handle @WrongsToWrite whose bio says-
‘Teaching you how to write your way to becoming the hero of your story in life and on paper • Turn pen into profit and stories into sales’
We suggest readers to go through these techniques if they are aspiring to become a big handle on Twitter. The methodology is Twitter specific and not for other Social Media platforms.
Specially helpful for writers and content creators.
1. Understand the audience
People are on here for 3 reasons only.
– To be validated.
– To be educated.
– To be entertained.
Always keep this in mind before tweeting.
2. Optimize your bio
People care less about who you are and more about how you can help them
When they visit your profile, they should know in 5 seconds what your account is about
Don’t be generic, stand out
There’s too many “Hustle | Motivate | Money” bios
Have a BIG idea.

3. Brand yourself
4. Comment under big accounts
5+ comments a day under large accounts (100k+).
5+ comments a day under medium accounts (10k-90k).
Provide value and be genuine.
DO NOT just rephrase the original account’s tweet.
If you have nothing of value to add, don’t say anything.

7. Quote tweet accounts
Add value to the original tweet by expanding on the idea in a retweet.
If it’s thoughtful, authentic, and valuable then there’s a good chance the OP will retweet you.
Add value, not some generic platitude.
8. Be polarizing
People follow strong voices.
If you have an opinion, don’t be afraid to voice it.
Polarization is what connects like-minded individuals.

10. Format
Formatting is what gets your reader in the door
If it’s too long or clunky, most won’t take the time to read
Eyes will get tired
Instead:
• Space out your lines (like shown above)
• Break your writing up with headings
• Use bullet points .
