Content Strategy

Thread-to-Article pipeline

1. Run `src/tweetPerformance.js` to find your best-performing threads 2. Run `src/contentRepurposer.js` -> `XActions.toBlog(i)` to generate article outline 3. Navigate to `x.com/compose/article` 4. Use `src/articlePublisher.js` to format and publish 5. Share the article link as a tweet for promotion

SEO and reach optimization

• Use `src/contentRepurposer.js` -> `XActions.toBlog(i)` for keyword suggestions
• Articles get indexed by Google (unlike regular tweets)
• Include 1-2 images per 500 words for better engagement
• Link back to your profile and other articles

Requirements

• X Premium+ subscription ($16/mo) required
• Articles support rich text, images, and embedded tweets
• No word count limit
• Articles are publicly accessible (even to non-X users)
• Articles have their own URL structure: `x.com/USERNAME/articles/ID`

Notes

• Articles persist permanently (unlike tweets which get buried)
• Google indexes X Articles -- good for SEO
• Cover image recommended for social sharing preview
• Draft auto-saves periodically
