So let me show you a simple framework for writing threads.
Iâll be using my Elon Musk thread as an example.
This thread got 300K impressions in 12 hours.
So letâs get rolling.

Step 1. Pick the topic (duh):
Make sure itâs relevant for your audience.
I picked persuasion.
But unless youâre a marketer or a geek or bothâŚ
This topic bores people to death.
So I spiced it up by doing the one thing most people fail to do in their threadsâŚ

But before I tell youâŚ
Hereâs step 1.5. Research (optional):
I rarely do research for most of my threads.
But when I doâŚ
I use Google and YouTube.

Step 2. Get The Emotion Right:
Unfortunately, this is where most people fail.
So let me make this easy for you.
You have 3 choices to do this rightâŚ

3 ways to get the emotion right:
1/ Show how to solve an BURNING problem
2/ Entertain with a POWERFUL story
3/ HIJACK breaking news
Pick one.
Or try to do all three at the same time (if you dare)

For my Musk thread, I hijacked the breaking news.
This worked because everyone has an opinion about the Twit In Chief.
So I knew he would make the perfect emotional hook for my thread.
The reaction was what youâd expect:
Love or hate. No in-between.

Step 3. Get The Flow Right:
The best way to write threads is to have a writing framework.
My go-to process is the âHow Toâ Framework.
Let me explain how it worksâŚ

My go-to process is the âHow Toâ Framework.
Let me explain how it worksâŚ
The âHow Toâ Framework:
Hook:Â use the first tweet to get attention.
Original:Â state the topic of your thread; Ex: "5 steps to X"
Why:Â tell why your topic is important (optional)
Steps:Â show your process in steps, lessons, etc
Action:Â tell readers what to do next

You arenât supposed to copy/paste templates, formulas, or frameworks.
Theyâre merely a guide.
So donât get married to them.
That said, letâs talk about getting your threadâs flow right.

That said, letâs talk about getting your threadâs flow right.
To get your threadâs flow right:
> List 5-10 major ideas, steps, lesson, etc
> Write 280 characters about each
> Edit and remove the fluff
> Iterate until youâre happy
Cool?
Unto the most important part of your thread!

Step 4. Become A Hooker
Grab 'em by the eyeballs.
That is your HOOKS' mission.
@LogFitz6 said it better:

@LogFitz6 said it better:
@LogFitz6 You only have 3 seconds to grab peopleâs attention.
A great hook does that for you.
You seeâŚ
Bad hook = Nobody reads.
Great hook = Virality potential.
But how do you craft fail-proof hooks?

@LogFitz6 Itâs simple 3-ingredient formula I love:
1. Incite CURIOSITY
2. Tell a STORY
3. Reveal the ORIGINAL
Let me explain eachâŚ
1. Incite CURIOSITY
2. Tell a STORY
3. Reveal the ORIGINAL

@LogFitz6 Here how that looks like:
CURIOSITY â ask a question, break a pattern, or attack common beliefs.
STORY â say how you came to your conclusion.
ORIGINAL â reveal what your thread is about. Ex: "13 secrets to Xâ

Writing HOOKS is easy.

> Write 5 hooks
> Pick the best one
> Find a good formula
