The way your posts are ranked has changed dramatically over the last year

What worked a year ago no longer works

I read through the 1000s of lines of algorithm code that is currently available

Here is every action you need to take today to rank higher:

This post will completely change the way you interact on X

I highly recommend bookmarking the post above in order to come back to this as you shift your strategies 👆

I'm about to cover changes to:
• Replies
• Multimedia
• Monetization
• Trends
• De-boosting

🔶 Replies will get you noticed way more

Being a reply guy is EVERYTHING

This new code pushes your replies to the timeline even more

It makes sense. The more replies, the more ad views, the more money for X (and you)

Want to grow your account? Time to reply

ACTION ITEMS

• Use my $2.00 strategy. Give your 2 cents on 100 posts a day (100 replies daily)

• Only post high quality, thoughtful replies. If the author responds to your message, it actually boosts your content (see below)

Lazy replies with stolen memes only hurts you

🔶 Experiment with Video

Video is about to be pushed way more

"You might like" is going to be replaced with "Popular videos"

Elon wants you to watch video on this platform

Drop the anxiety. Drop the nervousness

Time to start creating video content if you want to stay ahead

ACTION ITEMS

• Turn on your phone

• Go into the camera app

• Go in selfie mode

• Hit record

• Talk about something in the news or something going on in your life

• If you want impressions on this app, you need to make video content

🔶 Turn on subscriptions

There's a ton of new code in the latest algo update that will push subscription content

People to subscribe to will be on your timeline, as well as recommended premium content

Approval takes a while (took me 9 months), so 100% apply today

ACTION ITEMS

• Apply for subscriptions

• Come up with a strategy for premium content (I do daily exclusive content and weekly sub only spaces)

• By becoming a 'creator' (someone with subscription turned on) you get an extra algo bonus too (see below)

🔶 Talk about the latest news

The algo now has new code around recommending trending posts

Elon clearly wants the platform to be the best way to get the latest news and stories

This means if you stay on trend, your content will be pushed more

ACTION ITEMS

• Talk about breaking news

• See what's trending on your home screen and add your own 2 cents

• Bonus hack: add a video to get the double boost

🔶 Only post valuable content

The amount of time posts stays on feeds is changing

Content can now stay for as long as 48 hours

This is clearly an effort to put the highest quality content in front of as many people as possible

Stop s**tposting. Create quality content

12
ACTION ITEMS

• Focus on quality over quantity

• If you post quality content people like, it'll get WAY more exposure with this new code (48 hours vs 24 hours)

• Create algo friendly content like long form tweets and videos that keep people on content longer
13
🔶 Avoid de-boosted content

There is now more code around de-boosting certain types of content

If you talk about competitors, you will get de-boosted big time

Also content that is scrolled by often will be de-boosted as well. This means longer form content plays better

14
ACTION ITEMS

• Don't link to X competitors

• Focus on longer form content

• Avoid super short content that can be scrolled by quickly
15
The algo is constantly changing

If you want to make sure your content stays in front of your audience, you need to shift with the trends

Come back to this post whenever you're about to post to make sure you're within the new guidelines
