Writing great tweets can be quite difficult and time consuming. Most Twitter accounts with 20K+ followers spend hours every week writing their tweets. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to save some time and increase your productivity. One of these things is to use tweet templates that usually drive engagement and may also increase your followers.

We gathered a few of these templates right here so that you can start growing your Twitter audience more efficiently right now.

 

Tweet Template #1 – It’s not [X] it’s [Y]

 

 

This format works well because it’s usually pretty funny, and because it forces you mind to pay attention to the wordplay. There’s just something nice about « getting the joke » that makes you think you’re super smart and want to share that with others.

 

Tweet Template #2 – I used to think

 

 

People like authentic stories. And they also like it when you show some humility. Success is great, but admitting you were wrong can also go a long way. This format makes it easy because our opinions evolve all the time. So showing how what you used to think was actually wrong or different than what you believe today is a very efficient and easy to implement format.

 

Tweet Template #3 – Would have you believe

 

 

This one works because it plays on our tendency to love having a « common enemy » as well as feeling smarter than everybody else. And there’s nothing better to achieve that than to say « X would have you believe that Y, but actually, they’re wrong ».

 

Tweet Template #4 – I hate it when

 

 

Every comedian ever has always understood the power of witty observations of life’s absurdity. And the « I hate it when » format is perfect to express a thought like that. Plus it’s just so easy to write a bunch of « I hate it when tweets » because, well, there’s usually a bunch of things that you hate.

 

Tweet Template #5 – People think that… but…

 

 

Similar to the « would have you believe » format, this one can also work wonders. It’s perfect to express a contrarian or provocative thought, pointing the finger at those who don’t think like you, and celebrating those that do. Doesn’t matter if you agree or not, you want to either RT this or argue about how it’s wrong.
