Plan the thread
Use these prompts to plan the thread.
Pick a thread angle
I want to write a Twitter thread about [TOPIC]. Suggest 5 angles that perform well: contrarian take, personal story, how-to breakdown, data-driven insight, or curated list. My audience is [DESCRIBE AUDIENCE].
Write 5 hook options
Write 5 opening tweet options for a thread about [TOPIC]. Each must stop the scroll in the first tweet. Mix: bold claim, surprising stat, personal story opener, and strong opinion.
Outline the thread
Create a 10-tweet thread outline about [TOPIC] using this angle: [ANGLE]. For each tweet, list its purpose (hook, problem, insight, example, takeaway, CTA) and the one key idea.
Find supporting points
I'm writing a Twitter thread about [TOPIC]. What are 5 interesting, lesser-known facts or insights that would surprise my audience and add credibility?
Plan the closing CTA
What CTA should close my thread about [TOPIC]? Suggest 3 options: one driving follows, one driving replies, one driving link clicks. Keep each natural.
Write the thread
These prompts help you draft, refine, and tighten every tweet in your thread.
Write the full thread
Write a complete 10-tweet thread about [TOPIC] using this outline: [OUTLINE]. Number each tweet (1/10, etc.), keep each under 280 characters, and end with a strong CTA tweet.
Add personality
Rewrite this thread with more personality: [PASTE THREAD]. Make it sound like a real person sharing genuine insights — casual language, occasional humor, first-person perspective.
Add social proof
I have this thread draft: [PASTE THREAD]. Where should I add stats, personal results, or examples to boost credibility? Rewrite those tweets to include them naturally.
Tighten each tweet
Review each tweet in this thread and flag any that are vague, too long, or don't add value: [PASTE THREAD]. Rewrite the weak ones.
Improve thread flow
This thread feels choppy between tweets [X] and [Y]: [PASTE THREAD]. Write 2 transition tweets that smoothly connect them.
Optimize for engagement
Use these prompts to improve your hook, visuals, and CTA to maximize reach and replies.
Score the hook
Score this opening tweet on stopping power out of 10 and explain why: [PASTE HOOK]. Then rewrite it three ways to score higher.
Suggest visuals
For this thread about [TOPIC], which tweets would benefit from an image, chart, or screenshot? Describe exactly what each visual should show.
Boost the CTA
Rewrite this final thread tweet to drive more replies: [PASTE CTA TWEET]. Ask a question that is easy for any follower to answer.
Add hashtags
Should I add hashtags to a Twitter thread about [TOPIC]? Recommend 1-2 maximum. Also suggest the best time to post for maximum reach.
Write a teaser tweet
Write a standalone teaser tweet to build anticipation before I post my thread about [TOPIC].
Repurpose the thread
Use these prompts to turn your thread into articles, newsletters, and other content formats.
Turn thread into a blog post
Expand this Twitter thread into a full blog post: [PASTE THREAD]. Develop each tweet into a full paragraph with more detail and context.
Adapt for LinkedIn
Adapt this Twitter thread for LinkedIn: [PASTE THREAD]. Combine tweets into 3-4 paragraphs, adjust the tone to be slightly more professional, and rewrite the opening for LinkedIn.
Turn into a newsletter section
Use this thread as the basis for a newsletter section: [PASTE THREAD]. Write a 200-word summary capturing the key insight and link to the full thread.
Plan follow-up threads
Based on my thread about [TOPIC], what are 3 natural follow-up threads I could write? Each should go deeper on a sub-topic from the original.
Save as a resource
Turn this thread into a clean reference document: [PASTE THREAD]. Format it as a numbered list without Twitter-specific language, so it can be shared anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a Twitter thread be?+
Most high-performing threads are 8 to 15 tweets. Ten tweets is a solid default. Each tweet should add something distinct — avoid padding.
How do I keep people reading past the first tweet?+
Use pattern interrupts: end some tweets mid-thought, use numbered lists ("here are 5 things..."), or tease what is coming. Keep each tweet punchy — one idea per tweet.
When should I post Twitter threads?+
Tuesday through Thursday, 8-10am or noon-1pm in your audience's primary timezone, tends to perform well. Post all tweets in the thread within the same minute using the reply chain.
Can ChatGPT write a thread from a single idea?+
Yes. Give ChatGPT your topic, angle, and target audience and it will write the full thread from scratch. You can also give it an existing blog post or article to break down into thread format.
What is the single most important part of a Twitter thread?+
The first tweet. If it doesn't make someone want to read the second tweet, nothing else matters. Spend at least as much time on the hook as on the entire rest of the thread.
