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:

Name Handle Role

Justin Skycak @justinskycak Math Academy, quoted

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:

Day Expert Angle

Mon [Name] [Specific insight from their quote]

Tue [Name] [Different angle]

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:

• [Article-Name]-X-Article.md

• Full article with handles

• [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

Social Assets File Structure

[Article Name] - Social Media Assets

Article: [link] Date: [date]

Handoff Notes:

• [Key instruction for assistant]
• [Who agreed to RT, if any]

Twitter/X Handles

MAIN LAUNCH TWEETS (Pick One)

#1 PICK: [Label]

[Tweet text]

Why this one: [Reasoning]

WEEKLY SCHEDULE

MONDAY: [Name]

Angle: [What makes this post unique]

[Tweet text]

Keep It Simple

• One file for the X article version

• One file for posting strategy

• Handle reference table at top of both

• Clear handoff notes so assistant knows what to do
