1 weird trick I use to go viral on Twitter.
Today I'm going to share a quick trick I use to grow on Twitter. All by making "mistakes."
Today I'm going to share a quick trick I use to grow on Twitter. All by making "mistakes."
What do I mean by making mistakes?
Well, humans have a natural tendency to point out what's wrong with the world. It gives them a sense of superiority.
And this effect is 10x on a platform like Twitter.
Let me show you...

Now, as you can see, in the tweet I say "6 eggs."
But, how many are in the pan?
Yes, 7 (fantastic counting skills, my friend).
And guess what happened when I posted this tweet?















Predictable comments correcting my "mistake."
Increased comments = increased engagement.
Increased engagement = increased chance to go viral.
Just don't make it too obvious.
Now, I wish I could say I came up with this on my own, but all credit goes to Jimmy Farley. I got it from his TikTok course and applied it to Twitter.
If you're not already following him, I highly suggest you do so. The man is always dropping gems and sharing great threads.
You can follow him here:
But, I'm keeping today's email short and sweet for ya, so that's all I got!
Hope this helps you guys and gals write some killer tweets.
Your Canadian friend,
Dakota Robertson
