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 | Person | Handle | Role | |--------|--------|------| --- ## 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
