How to Turn an Article Into a Twitter Thread

A strong article can become a Twitter thread that drives clicks and discussion. The goal is to break the main idea into clear, tweet-sized steps or takeaways and add a hook and a CTA.

Structure the thread

Start with a hook tweet that states the benefit or curiosity. Then one tweet per key point—keep each under 280 characters and use line breaks for readability. End with a summary or question and a link back to the full article. Numbering (1/10, 2/10) helps people follow along.

Speed it up with a tool

You can draft the thread by hand or use a tool that turns selected text into a thread. SnipPost is a Chrome extension: highlight the section of the article you want to turn into a thread, click to generate, and you get a Twitter thread draft plus LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook formats. Copy the thread, tweak if needed, and post. It uses AI to adapt tone and length for each platform.
