Here&#8217;s how to write a long textual thread, including links, tagged accounts, and a hook. Then, follow these tips to connect your tweets. In just a few minutes, you can have a connected stream of tweets. But be sure to do this quickly, because it won&#8217;t save as a draft.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_compelling_hook\"><\/span>Create a compelling hook<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you&#8217;re starting a thread on Twitter, it&#8217;s critical to create a hook to entice readers to click through to the rest of the thread. In essence, your thread will be a series of supporting points that answer the question in the hook and provide the benefit the reader seeks. Follow these tips for creating a compelling hook to promote your thread on Twitter. Listed below are four tips for writing a compelling hook to promote a thread on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Use a story. People tend to stay interested when they are entertained or educated. Think of your favorite social media account. They post interesting content and structure their points into a logical progression from one point to the next. Most of them also make a point to call for a reaction from their followers. In addition, these accounts are more likely to get retweeted if they have a compelling hook and a crowd of followers to boost their threads.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Create_a_connected_stream_of_tweets\"><\/span>Create a connected stream of tweets<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>One of the ways to stay up-to-date with the latest trend on Twitter is to create a connected stream of tweets. This feature allows you to collect a list of relevant tweets and filter them based on keywords. For example, if you are an ice-cream shop, you can use this method to filter tweets related to sorbet. For example, you would be able to receive all tweets containing the words &#8220;free sorbet&#8221; or &#8220;free frozen yogurt.&#8221; However, you cannot use this feature to filter tweets that mention your brand or are generated by your employees.<\/p>\n<p>To use this feature, you will need to create a board in which you can host your stream. Twitter has a search feature where you can enter the keyword of a person or a place and get all the related tweets. Once you&#8217;ve done this, you can create a connected stream for that user. Then, create a feed for this user and pass it along to your stream listener.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_links\"><\/span>Add links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re a regular user of Twitter, you may be wondering how to add links to a thread. You can do so by following a few easy steps. First, compose a new tweet. Add your content, and then pull down the screen to reveal the three-dotted button. Next, select the previously-tweeted post. You can now paste it into the What&#8217;s Happening? box.<\/p>\n<p>Most popular tweeters will mention their links and explain why, allowing readers to decide for themselves whether or not to click on a link. They also use their @username to give credit to fellow tweeters. These links will take users directly to their profile pages, so they&#8217;ll be able to see the tweets from the person they&#8217;ve tagged. Here are some other examples of useful and fun links to include in a thread.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Include_tagged_accounts\"><\/span>Include tagged accounts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few things you should know about how to include tagged accounts in a thread. These mentions will appear gratuitous if you don&#8217;t follow social media etiquette. You should also avoid spamming the same brand with mentions. Good social media teams will appreciate your mentions and will trade free publicity for good content. In this article, we&#8217;ll discuss the best practices for including tagged accounts in a thread.<\/p>\n<p>When including tagged accounts in a thread, make sure to use the hashtags #tagaccountname. This will make your thread appear on more people&#8217;s timelines and be more memorable. Use relevant images and links and make sure to link directly to the original account. In addition, don&#8217;t forget to include the account&#8217;s handle at the end of the thread. If you&#8217;re unsure about this feature, read on.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule_a_thread\"><\/span>Schedule a thread<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re wondering how to schedule a thread on Twitter, you&#8217;re not alone. Many people use scheduling apps to automate their posting. With tools like Metricool, you can schedule your tweets and see the best times to post them. This tool also allows you to preview your tweet thread before saving it. And because it&#8217;s free, you can plan out your posts in advance, so that you never miss a moment.<\/p>\n<p>You can compose threads directly from your queue or drafts tab, or copy and paste content from your blog or other documents. Remember to use three line breaks for each tweet. You can also click the (+) sign to add images to your tweets, and then click the schedule button to publish the thread to Twitter. Then, you&#8217;re ready to share your content. Make sure to follow the guidelines for Twitter if you want to make it look its best.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/V_d_Z7dhrmU\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"360\" height=\"201\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Do a Thread on Twitter If you&#8217;re wondering how to do a thread on Twitter, you&#8217;ve come to the right place.
