How to Split a Long Idea Into a BlueSky Thread

A good BlueSky thread is not one long post chopped into pieces. It is a sequence where each post moves the idea forward.

Start with the promise

The first post should explain why the thread is worth reading. Avoid vague openings. Tell people what they will get from the next few posts.

Give each post one job

Post 1: promise or problem.

Post 2: context.

Post 3: lesson or example.

Post 4: practical step.

Final post: recap, question, or link.

Use the free BlueSky thread splitter to turn longer writing into post-sized chunks.

Schedule evergreen threads

Evergreen threads are good candidates for scheduling because the advice stays useful. Time-sensitive threads should be reviewed closer to publish time.
