## Tweet Queue (9 Tweets)
### Tweet 1 - Schedule: 09:00 PT
```
We spent 10 months building a WriterDuet killer from scratch.
Here's what 2M+ screenwriters hate about their current tool (and how we fixed it):
🧵👇
```
**Media:** Thread header image (1200x675px)
**Link:** None
---
### Tweet 2 - Schedule: 09:05 PT
```
WriterDuet is built on Firebase + React from 2015.
Result:
❌ Slow startup (Electron = 500MB+ RAM)
❌ Clunky mobile apps
❌ No AI features
❌ $13.99/mo for premium
Screenwriters deserve better in 2026.
```
**Media:** None
**Link:** None
---
### Tweet 3 - Schedule: 09:10 PT
```
Meet Scripter:
✅ Tauri + SolidJS = 50MB RAM, instant startup
✅ Native-feeling desktop apps (macOS, Windows, Linux)
✅ Web app + PWA
✅ Single codebase, zero Electron tax
Modern stack for modern writers.
```
**Media:** Screenshot of app startup comparison
**Link:** None
---
### Tweet 4 - Schedule: 09:15 PT
```
Built-in AI that actually helps:
🤖 Continuation: Stuck on a scene? AI suggests next beats
🤖 Character analysis: Track arcs, relationships, dialogue patterns
🤖 Format fixer: Auto-corrects screenplay formatting
Not a gimmick. A writing partner.
```
**Media:** GIF of AI continuation feature
**Link:** None
---
### Tweet 5 - Schedule: 09:20 PT
```
Real-time collaboration that works:
✏️ Multi-user editing (like Google Docs)
📹 Video chat built-in (no Zoom needed)
🌳 Version branching: Explore alternate endings
💬 Comments + mentions
Writers' room, anywhere.
```
**Media:** Screenshot of collaboration view
**Link:** None
---
### Tweet 6 - Schedule: 09:25 PT
```
Our free tier vs WriterDuet:
Scripter Free:
✅ Unlimited projects
✅ All core features
✅ Desktop + web access
WriterDuet Free:
❌ 3 projects max
❌ Limited features
We're not nickel-and-diming you.
```
**Media:** Comparison graphic
**Link:** None
---
### Tweet 7 - Schedule: 09:30 PT
```
Pricing that undercuts WriterDuet by 20%:
Scripter Pro: $7.99/mo (vs $11.99)
- Video chat
- Revision tracking
- Export to Final Draft XML
Scripter Premium: $10.99/mo (vs $13.99)
- Everything + AI features

## Analytics Tracking
### Twitter Native Analytics
**Access:** analytics.twitter.com
**Metrics to Track (Day 1):**
- Impressions per tweet
- Engagement rate
- Link clicks (Tweet 9)
- Video views (Tweet 8)
- Profile visits

### Manual Tracking Spreadsheet

```
---
## Troubleshooting
### Tweet Fails to Post
1. Check Buffer queue status
2. Verify Twitter account is connected
3. Re-authorize Buffer if needed
4. Post manually as backup
### Wrong Time Zone
1. Buffer uses account time zone
2. Set to PT (Pacific Time) for launch
3. Double-check before scheduling
### Media Upload Fails
1. Check file size (<15MB for images, <512MB for video)
2. Verify format (JPG/PNG for images, MP4 for video)
3. Re-upload if needed
4. Post text-only as backup
### Link Preview Issues
1. Test UTM links before scheduling
2. Use Twitter Card validator
3. Shorten with bit.ly if preview breaks
---

## Link Rotation Strategy
### A/B Testing (Optional)
For Twitter thread, test two CTAs:
**Variant A:**
- Tweet 9: "Try Scripter free" → `&utm_content=cta_free`
**Variant B:**
- Tweet 9: "Start writing now" → `&utm_content=cta_write`
Compare click-through rates after 24h.
### Content Variants
Track which content performs best:
| Content | UTM Content Value |
|---------|-------------------|
| Twitter thread | `thread_tweet_1` through `thread_tweet_9` |
| Reddit post | `reddit_main` |
| Reddit comment | `reddit_comment_{timestamp}` |
| Discord event | `discord_event` |
| YouTube 60s | `youtube_short` |
| YouTube 10min | `youtube_long` |

## Troubleshooting
### Links Not Tracking
1. Check GA4 property is correct
2. Verify UTM syntax (no spaces, lowercase)
3. Wait 24-48h for data processing
4. Check Real-Time report first
### Short Links Not Working
1. Verify Bitly account is active
2. Check destination URL is valid
3. Test without shortener (use full UTM URL)
4. Contact Bitly support if needed
### Analytics Discrepancies
- Platform analytics (Twitter, YouTube) vs GA4 will differ
- Platform counts clicks, GA4 counts sessions
- Ad blockers affect GA4 tracking
- Use platform analytics for engagement, GA4 for conversions
