Workflow steps
- 1Pick a flagship videoChoose a 10-20 minute video with clear chapters or sections.Tutorials and frameworks repurpose better than vlogs.
- 2Extract 5 key insightsUse AI to pull 5 standalone insights that work as text-only tweets.Each insight must work without watching the video.
- 3Clip 3 vertical highlightsCut 3 native 9:16 clips, each under 2:20 for Twitter video.Twitter favors native uploads over YouTube links.
- 4Write a thread teardownDraft a 6-10 tweet thread breaking down the video framework.End the thread with a soft CTA to the full video.
- 5Add captions to clipsBurn captions because 85% of Twitter video plays muted.Use yellow highlight on key phrases for retention.
- 6Schedule across the weekSpread tweets and clips across 5-7 days using a scheduler.Daily drip beats one big launch day for Twitter algo.
