Introduction tweet template
An introduction tweet tells new followers why to stick around. This template covers who you are, what you'll post and one detail that makes you a person, not a brand.
The template
Hi, I'm [name]. I [what you do] for [who]. Before that: [one line of relevant background]. Here I post about [topic 1], [topic 2] and [topic 3]. Off the clock: [one personal detail].
When to use it
- You're starting a new account or starting to post seriously.
- You've gained a lot of new followers who don't know your story.
- You want a post to pin so profile visitors understand you in seconds.
Why it works
Who and what
Name, what you do and who for. Visitors decide in seconds whether you're relevant to them.
Background
One line of credibility explains why people should listen, without a résumé.
What you'll post
Two or three topics tell people what they'll get by following. They're also a useful commitment for you.
A personal detail
Something human gives people a reason to reply and remember you.

Hi, I'm Daniel. I help mid-career engineers move into management. Before that: 12 years as an engineer, 5 as a director. Here I post about first-time management, interviews and salary talks. Off the clock: two kids, one very loud dog.

Hi, I'm Priya. I'm making Lanternfall, a puzzle game about a lighthouse keeper. Before that: 6 years as a web developer. Here I post devlogs, pixel art and what I learn shipping a game solo. Off the clock: board games and long walks.
Tips
- Pin it. Most profile visitors read the pinned post before deciding to follow.
- Repost a fresh version every few months as your audience grows.
- Match your bio. The introduction should expand on it, not contradict it. See how to write an X bio.
- Add a photo of you, not a logo. People follow people.
