Tweetfull Newsletter 01/18/2024: Nobody reads your first tweet? here’s why
Welcome to Tweetfull’s Winner Circle!
Our mission is to help you get your first (or next) 1,000 followers.Last week, we explored the Content Bank Strategy. Today, let’s solve a bigger problem: first tweets that nobody reads.I was scrolling through Twitter when a tweet about tax accounting (yes, tax accounting) stopped me cold. It had over 3,000 likes.
The topic wasn’t exciting. The creator wasn’t famous. But that first tweet? It was perfect.
I had to know why it worked.
So I dug into our database of 23,847 viral tweets. The pattern was clear: viral first tweets break three common rules.
Rule #1: They start with tension
Most people start with “Thread about…” or “Here’s how to…” Viral tweets start with conflict, surprise, or curiosity.
Rule #2: They make specific promises
Instead of “Tips to grow your audience” They say “How I went from 0 to 4,731 followers in 30 days”
Rule #3: They speak to one person
Not “Everyone struggles with growth” But “If you have less than 1,000 followers, this is for you”
I tested this pattern myself. My engagement tripled.
But here’s the truth: knowing the rules isn’t enough.
