I've been experiment
[2021-11-30 07:53:57 AM] : I've been experimenting with teasing ebombs on Twitter (via screenshots) and later posting a link to the article in the bottom of the thread, seems to get more attention than just sharing a link - anyone else try this?

[2021-11-30 08:37:49 AM] : i haven’t tried that, but i’ve heard that twitter usually doesn’t give links as much reach. Monica Lent had an article about it, i’ll see if i can dig it up

[2021-11-30 09:09:02 AM] : i sometimes do teasers in the form of “i’m currently writing a post about X”. in my experience the teaser always gets way more attention than the actual ebomb, interestingly
[2021-11-30 11:28:05 AM] : If you can do a "quick tip" version of the ebomb that can work well too. Works well with something you can demo with a small code snippet. Eg a code screenshot from carbon.now.sh and a short desc of the tip, then link to a more in-depth ebomb. Some people will get all they need form the tweet, while others will want to read more and will click through.
[2021-11-30 11:29:04 AM] : I'll even do some where I link to someone else's website, because it is still helpful to my audience and it builds trust. Eg https://twitter.com/joncalhoun/status/1318956881558327297
[2021-11-30 11:29:08 AM] : yeah, in my experience carbon.sh tweets do great
[2021-11-30 11:33:20 AM] : Max Rozen I find doing a tweet thread with a couple of the key ebomb points and then pointing to the article gets the most engagement.
Example: https://twitter.com/mar15sa/status/1448277531107500033?s=20
[2021-11-30 11:33:59 AM] : oh yeah, that has worked well for me also
[2021-12-01 03:21:36 AM] : thanks for the tips y'all - twitter thread for my latest article has driven heaps more traffic to my site :heart:
[2021-12-03 08:07:01 AM] : these are some great tips – i'll try the twitter thread approach for my upcoming e-bomb
