Twitter (X) allows 280 characters per tweet. Links are shortened to 23 characters regardless of their actual length. Images do not count toward the character limit.

How do I write a good Twitter thread?
Start with a strong hook tweet, use numbers (1/, 2/ etc), keep each tweet focused on one point, end with a call to action and make each tweet valuable on its own.
Do Twitter threads get more engagement?
Yes, threads typically get more engagement than single tweets because they encourage people to read multiple tweets and spend more time on your content.
What is the best length for a Twitter thread?
Threads of 5-10 tweets tend to perform best. The first tweet (hook) is the most important and should immediately capture attention to make people want to read more.
