3 tweet frameworks that can get you thousands of likes

Top of the mornin'!

Today, I'm going to run you through my thought process on how I create high-engaging tweets for myself and clients.

By the end of it, you'll have 3 frameworks you can use to get more attention on your account and ultimately, get more sales, followers, and connections.

Let's dive in:

Why this works

1. The first line is engaging. Saying "Things you don't need in your life:" creates curiosity because it implies you might be doing something wrong. Do you like doing things wrong? Me neither. That's why people read the tweet.

2. The first 5 points in the list are things most people would agree with. I validate their opinion, which causes people to engage.

3. This is my favourite part. I throw in pineapple pizza for the 6th point because it's a pattern disrupt. It surprises the reader and gives them a laugh. This causes people to comment about it because it's such a polarizing topic.

Your homework

Think of a popular topic:

• Making money

• How to live in your 20s

• Biggest mistakes you can make in life

Now, create a list tips for people to follow.

Can you think of 1 polarizing tip?

• Buying $5 lattes isn't a waste of money.

• Don't get married in your 20s.

• Having kids early is a mistake.

Throw it in the list.

Why this works

1. The key to asking questions is asking ones many people have an opinion on. Everyone has their own life philosophy and way they think others should live their lives.

2. By challenging people to state it in 5 words or fewer, it turns into a game. People like a challenge, so they're more likely to comment. 

3. The question is targeted toward a demographic. Men in their 20s. Guess who's gonna click on the tweet to check the answers? Men in their 20s. I know a large part of my audience fit this demographic so I knew it'd do well.

Your homework

Who does your audience mainly consist of?

• Writers

• Business owners

• Women in their 20s

What's a question you can ask that a lot of people have an opinion on and want to know the answer to?

Challenge people by framing the question with a word limit.

Why it works

1. Transformations are powerful because they're relatable. Sure, you probably can't relate to my specific situation, but you can relate to feeling like the underdog and the emotion behind it.

2. Storytelling is the most engaging form of writing. Although short, this tweet acts as a mini story. Beginning, middle, and end. I end the tweet tying it all together with a lesson.

Your homework

Write down notable challenges you've overcome in the past.

• Did you overcome anxiety/depression?

• Did you create a successful business from $0?

• Did you lose someone close to you?

Pick 3-5 of the most meaningful ones to you and put it into your tweet.

How are you doing in life today?

End the tweet with a lesson you learned from your challenges.

Now, an important note: if you have a smaller audience, don't get discouraged if your tweets don't get much traction.

These frameworks work, but you need eyes on your account for people to engage. As you grow, you'll notice these become more effective.

So, with that being said, I hope these help!

Have a fantastic Thursday. May the Twitter Gods bless your account.
