Everything I've learned about using 𝕏 • Simple ideas win • Be 99% helpful, only 1% for asks • Don't use hashtags • Use 1, maybe 2 emojis per post max • Lists make content more readable X can be a fantastic place to grow a community, get product feedback, and even make friends. If you're positive and optimistic, most of the time you'll be met back with the same energy. But not always. Sometimes people are frustrated. The only difference between feedback and criticism is the way you hear it. That mentality has helped me 😌 Adding Links It's not worth trying to game the algorithm by placing links in separate posts. If the content is good, people will amplify it. If you are placing a link at the end of a post, remember it will get removed and turned into the open graph image. Don't do this. "Learn more: https//..." Because the : will hang in the post when the link transforms. Open Graph Images If you want to increase click-through rates, make better OG images. Don't try to game the algorithm by using an image in the post combined with a link. Then there's less clickable area for your CTA. Unless, of course, you actually want people to open the image with equal importance as clicking on the link. But I'd guess the former is what folks want most of the time. If your OG image isn't working correctly, double check the meta tags are correct. If it's still not working, go to cards-dev.twitter.com/valida… and spam the preview card button. I can't believe it, but this works. It basically purges the X OG image cache. Fun times. Content If you post consistently, and interact with others, it's highly likely your account will grow. And you'll get better at understanding what content works (and doesn't work). Make sure to add alt text to images. For videos, you can add subtitles through `.srt` files. One helpful tool I've found for this is clideo.com/add-subtitles-to-…. —— Hopefully some of these points were helpful! I would have never imagined 100,000 people would follow me on here. Gonna do my best to keep educating developers and helping them grow in their career.
