Nice very great article.

I myself am the person that drops links, I do try and make them appealing. How would you go about deciding what you would show in a Twitter Thread for instance? (I write technical articles)

I've also seen people make these cool instagram swipe stories, and it looks cool, but also quite some work. Would you suggest trying this with a "old" article to see re-engagement?

Thanks!

Do you make them appealing for human eye of for twitter algorithm? :D That's the question. My point here is that you can make it adorable for someone to click on it, but if twitter decide to display that tweet to only 10% of your followers, you won't get that much in return.

We tend to write longer posts, especially when writing a technical articles. The good article should have some structure. Pace. Story. You often achieve this by adding subheadings. So your visitors can scroll your blog to get a better picture. Similar can be applied to twitter threads. Tell it in short words, but only interesting parts. Imagine you are a journalist and you meet the editor (or person who decides which stories go to the next newspaper issue), but you meet the editor at the stairs and have only one minute to present your next story. You wouldn't start from the ancient times, you would get straight to the point. Same goes with twitter threads.

About instagram stories. I can't really tell. Not my cup of tea as I can't imagine people going to instagram to read things. So I'm not doing it.

But, I would definitely recommend reposting. Even with the same platform. You will never reach all of your audience in one single try. Retweet it in a month. It will be different. You don't have to move to another platform.

[Bruno Raljic](https://hashnode.com/@brunor) Hey Bruno, Interesting stuff.

To be honest, it's all an experiment for me, I try different things, ask feedback, try again and it's cool to see how some things just work better.

Such valuable data really, but what works one day doesn't always works the other day.

If I get some breathing space I'll be setting up some Twitter Threads about some old articles Just to see how they do.

And will try one-two Instagram posts, will drop a link once these are done, we can have a look how they go.

[Bruno Raljic](https://hashnode.com/@brunor) I went ahead and created one of these Instagram multi-slides.

Going to see how they work: [instagram.com/p/CEJY1EwASWA](https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJY1EwASWA/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link)
