1. Drop your website
Drop your <website / domain / startup>
I'll send you 1 <tip / idea>
To <benefit for reader>
This is my all-time favorite. It has been tested 5 times and it has resulted in 100+ comments, 400+ followers and 100k+ impressions every single time! It’s extremely powerful, but watch out, you will actually need to respond to people and give them the feedback they’re looking for.
I ran this tweet in November last year, and it brought me enough leads to grow @MagicSpaceSEO from $5k to now $20k MRR.

2. Problem - Agitation - Solution
This is a common copywriting formula that works great for Twitter. It’s short, it stands out and excites the user into reading more. Here are some examples:
Companies that blog get 6x more leads
But most brands burn thousands on ads & get nothing.
Smart marketers start with content. Here's how:
Converting website = money generating machine.
But most people struggle to build one that converts.

Here is why these tweets work:
- Problem: Content marketing = lead generation machine
- Agitation: But most brands burn thousands on paid traffic
- Solution: Always start with "Here is ..."
- Enemy: "paid traffic"
3. Curiosity-Provoking Question
Example:
Want to know the secret to getting 10x more leads from your website?
Hint: It's not paid ads, social media, or email marketing.
I'll reveal the answer in my next tweet 👇
Why it works:
- Starts with a question that targets a common pain point
- Creates curiosity by hinting the answer is unexpected
- Promises to reveal the answer, causing an open-loop (ovsiankina effect)
- The downward arrow emoji directs eyes to the replies for the answer
4. Controversial Opinion
Example:
Unpopular opinion: Long-form content is dead 💀
The future is short, punchy, scroll-stopping content that hooks your audience instantly.
Agree or disagree? Let me know your thoughts 👇
Why it works:
- Bold statement sparks immediate reaction - agree or disagree
- Emojis add visual interest and stop the scroll
- Frames it as an "unpopular opinion" to encourage discussion
- Asks for others' thoughts, inviting replies and conversation
5. How-to + Video
Record a how-to video in something like Screen Studio and embed the video in the tweet.
6. Viral skills + Explore Topics
Take a look at what’s trending for your niches in the Topics in the Explore section on Twitter. There will be categories and topics. Look and follow the patterns of what is trending now and tweet something similar. Here is an example:
7. Bookmarkable lists
Made a list of tools or software that others can use for their business? Make a long-form tweet and share it. It should get a lot of bookmarks, which count for more than likes for the algorithm.
8. Long-form guide with 4 images
This one is a bit more complex to make. But it helps generate a lot of bookmarks, likes and retweets. It also highlights you as a thought leader and you can easily promote your own products in this way.
9. Which is better?
This one is focused on a Topic (from the Explore section). Call out the people you’re targeting and ask a viral question that people will be dying to answer or comment on.
10. Imagine
Imagine if you could 10x your website's conversion rate without spending a dime on ads 🤔
That's the power of conversion rate optimization (CRO).
