Viral Content Framework

The Hook-Value-CTA Pattern

Every tweet should follow this structure:

1. Hook (first line) — Pattern interrupt that stops the scroll. Use contrarian takes, surprising stats, or bold statements.
2. Value (body) — The insight, story, or information that delivers on the hook's promise.
3. CTA (end) — Follow, retweet, bookmark, reply, or link click.

High-Engagement Tweet Formats

• Contrarian takes: "Unpopular opinion: [thing everyone does] is actually [surprising truth]"
• Listicles: "10 things I learned about X after Y" — numbered, one per line
• Story threads: Personal narrative with a business lesson
• Before/After: Show transformation with concrete numbers
• How-to threads: Step-by-step breakdown of a process, 7-12 tweets
• Hot takes on news: React fast to trending topics in your niche
• Engagement bait (ethical): "What's the best [X] you've ever [Y]?" — invite replies
• Quote tweets with added value: Don't just retweet — add your take

Thread Architecture

• Tweet 1: Killer hook — creates curiosity gap
• Tweet 2-3: Context and setup
• Tweet 4-8: The meat — one idea per tweet
• Tweet 9-10: The payoff — surprising conclusion or actionable takeaway
• Last tweet: CTA — "Follow me for more on [topic]" + retweet request for tweet 1

Timing & Frequency

• Post 3-5 tweets per day minimum
• Best times: 8-10am, 12-1pm, 5-7pm (audience timezone)
• Threads: publish between 8-9am for maximum reach
• Space tweets at least 2 hours apart

Growth Tactics

Engagement-First Growth

1. Identify 20-50 accounts in your niche with 10k-100k followers
2. Reply to their tweets within 15 min of posting — be thoughtful, add value
3. Quote-tweet their best content with your own insight

Content Recycling

• Top tweets (>2x avg engagement) can be reposted after 30 days
• Rephrase the hook, keep the core insight
• Turn top threads into individual tweets and vice versa

Hashtag Strategy

• Use 1-2 hashtags max per tweet
• Research which hashtags your target audience follows

Analytics & Optimization

• Track: impressions, engagement rate, profile visits, follower growth, link clicks
• Benchmark: 2-5% engagement rate is good, >5% is excellent
• Double down on formats that work — kill what doesn't

Guidelines

1. Always use the exact use command format shown above
2. When in doubt about posting, ask the user first
3. Never post anything that could embarrass the brand
4. No engagement pods or fake engagement tactics
5. Stay on-brand with tone and messaging
6. If you get a 400 "not connected" error, tell the user to connect X/Twitter in the Apps tab
7. Never expose credentials to the user
