A promoted post on X is counter-posted on a timeline. Ads have fast, clever responses, some quote posts are funnier than the ad. You have to have your audience in the room when you create your ad copy.
We strive to be precise yet just slightly self-aware, never overestimating ourselves and our claims. We write our posts to the point where a skeptical reading cannot easily dismantle what we’ve written. We do this while fitting neatly within the character counts set forth without abbreviations too much.
Persuasion on X is compression. Readers get bored and move on unless you have an extremely tight turn. Marketing prose is already a joke so you can’t build a case. The best solution is to state one clear, short, direct fact, or number, or admission, then ask the smallest favor possible.
Posts on X have an easily identifiable structure. They are made up of colon-separated sections, unnumbered threads, and can contain only a sentence fragment for each section. This type of structure is the subject of frequent jokes and your promoted post will likely be the subject of jokes under it in the future.
The hook has to be the first six to seven words, because that is all readers will see when everything is crowded in a timeline. Writers usually draft ten to twelve hooks and end up throwing most of them away. Main ideas are packed into a single clause or get cut completely. A post that tries to include all three of them will end up having none of them.
Format choices can be as important as word choices. Links in the post can affect how it is displayed, and a thread enables you to go on and on without lengthening the ad. A post with a picture that has text has a different meaning than a post that has a card preview. We let you know which shape the copy was written for, and we give you the thread when the idea needs one.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical X ad | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| One ad set | 100 | $10 | $0.10 | $10.10 |
| Test variants | 300 | $30 | $0.30 | $30.30 |
| Full campaign | 800 | $80 | $0.80 | $80.80 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
We match the brief to a writer who has already worked in that subject area. If you have worked with an Articled writer before and want them again, name them and we will check their availability first.

We can, but consider the clock. Delivery is three days because someone has to research it and write it, so same day reactions are not something we promise. Tell us the date you need it and we will either confirm or deny your request before payment.
Yes. Most people read the text superimposed on an image. That should get our full attention too. Let us know what the creative will be and we will provide the overlay lines as well as the card headline and the post copy.

Six hundred words with nothing in them that exists purely to reach six hundred words. Our newsletter has a hard scroll limit and every writer before this one padded the middle to hit the count. This one just stopped when it was done. J L
Each thread opens with the actual claim and spends the rest earning it — no “here is what nobody tells you” anywhere. Nine threads, eight usable exactly as written, one I rewrote because I had changed my mind during the process.
The old sequence tried to cover everything in the first email. This version pushes the integrations message to day four, which is when people are more prepared for it. There has been a noticeable increase in activation for day seven and a decrease in week one support tickets.
We do not ask you to take the no-AI promise on trust. Each draft is run through these platforms and the reports are attached to your delivery email.
