Platform-Specific Tips

Twitter/X

Short, punchy, opinionated. AI loves to hedge — Twitter rewards hot takes. Remove every “It's important to note” and replace with a direct statement. Use sentence fragments. Start with a hook.

LinkedIn AI slop is an epidemic. The fix: add personal stories, specific numbers from your experience, and opinions that might be controversial. Read our full LinkedIn guide.

Instagram

Captions should feel like you're talking to a friend. Use emojis naturally (not excessively), ask real questions, and reference specific moments or experiences.

TikTok

TikTok audiences are the most AI-sensitive. Scripts need to sound like natural speech — use filler words, incomplete thoughts, and casual language. AI's perfect grammar is a dead giveaway.
