1) The mindset:
• Don't try to make everyone like you
• Be willing to look silly sometimes
• Have thick skin - you can't please everyone

2) The structure:
• Start with a "wow" statement that sounds unique
• Take a hard line on one side - no nuance
• Back it up with strongly written copy

3) The hook:
• You have 1/8 of a second to grab attention
• Make people laugh, strike emotion, or teach something
• Use numbers and specific details for added humor

4) The controversy:
• Say something different than what most people hear
• Take an un-nuanced stance on a debatable topic
• Trigger people who disagree (respectfully)

5) The follow-up:
• Double down in your second tweet
• Add more context or examples
• Don't backpedal or soften your stance

6) The visuals:
• Use video when possible - algorithms favor it
• Catch attention in the first second

7) The mix:
• Blend personal content, entertainment, and value
• Prime the algorithm with high-engagement tweets
• Follow up bangers with business-related content

8) The authenticity:
• Tweet things you actually believe
• It's okay if not everyone agrees
• Spark good conversations and critical thinking

9) The strategy:
• Build a following of smart people and entrepreneurs
• Use the "jab, jab, jab, right hook" approach
• Leverage high-engagement tweets for business asks

10) The lesson: Nuance doesn't go viral. But thoughtful, controversial takes that make people think?
