X Article Converter

Transform blog posts and newsletters into X/Twitter-ready content with handles and a posting strategy.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify People and Companies

Read the source article and extract all:

• Named individuals (authors, experts quoted, founders)
• Companies/organizations mentioned
• Platforms/products referenced

Step 2: Find Twitter Handles

Use WebSearch to find Twitter/X handles for each person and company:

Search: "[Name] twitter" or "@[Name] site:twitter.com"

Create a handle reference table:

If no handle found, note “No handle found” and skip tagging.

Step 3: Create the X Article Version

Duplicate the original article and insert handles at first mention only:

• Before: “Justin Skycak, Director of Analytics at Math Academy…”
• After: “@justinskycak (Justin Skycak), Director of Analytics at @MathAcademy…”

Keep handles natural – don’t force them where they break flow.

Step 4: Create Launch Tweet Options

Write 3 ranked tweet options for the main article launch. Each should:

• Hook with the strongest insight or stat
• Tag 1-2 key people who might RT
• Include article link
• Stay under 280 chars (or use thread format)

Rank by: likelihood of engagement from tagged people.

Step 5: Create Weekly Posting Schedule

For each major expert/company in the article, write a standalone post:

Each standalone post should:

• Feature one person’s insight
• Tag them directly
• Stand alone without requiring the full article
• Link back to article

Step 6: Output Files

Save to the same folder as the source article:

1. [Article-Name]-X-Article.md – Full article with handles
2. [Article-Name]-Social-Assets.md – Contains:
   • Handle reference table
   • 3 ranked launch tweets
   • Weekly posting schedule with standalone posts
   • Posting notes for handoff

Output Format

Keep It Simple

• Clear handoff notes so assistant knows what to do
