Can AI predict which tweets will go viral?
I analyzed 1,600+ of my tweets with AI to uncover the secret ingredients behind my hits.
I boiled it all down to 7 TRICKS you can use too.
🧵👇
1️⃣ Attention-grabbing Hook (first 3-6 characters)
A strong emoji up front (🇨🇭📈🚀🔥) or bold questions like “Did you know...?”.
The ones most correlated with high reach are 🚀, 🔥, 🇨🇭, 💸 (+32%). Emojis in the body matter a lot less.
Overloading on emojis hurts your credibility.
2️⃣ Niche Keyword
In my case, the magic word “Switzerland” boosts my reach and CTR. The 🇨🇭 flag emoji works too
3️⃣ Curiosity Gap
Phrases like “Did you know…?”, “The secret to…”, “Here are my 5 favorites:” or a numbered promise (“7 tricks”) also increase my impressions.
4️⃣ “High-value” words (specifically nouns)
Words the algorithm loves: salary, wages, income, money, S&P 500 and OpenAI. Apparently people love it when I talk about money and AI.
5️⃣ Odd numbers and lists
Odd numbers (3, 5, 7) do better than even ones; and using lists also increases impressions, I guess because they make the tweet easy to read.
6️⃣ Brands and Tickers
Mentioning famous companies like OpenAI, Stripe, Nvidia, Valve, etc... also seems to improve impressions - even SP500 and potentially other “mainstream” stock tickers
7️⃣ Call to Action
This includes a few things that boost not just impressions, but also “engagement”, including:
→ “High-value” verbs that drive clicks: multiply, maximize, diversify.
→ Using “🧵👇” or something similar to show that the tweet is a thread
→ Short links
📌 Example of an ideal tweet according to my AI:
“🇨🇭 Did you know you can multiply your salary in Switzerland? Here are my 7 tried-and-tested tricks. 🧵👇 #Dinero”
I’ve got a couple more I haven’t included in the thread...
