How to tweet more than 280 characters on Twitter!

You have a brilliant thought, a hilarious story, an insightful experience – and then you slam into that 280-character limit of Twitter. Same with me! But don't worry, as there are ways to break free and share your voice.

I’m here to share some insider tips on how to post more than 280 characters on Twitter.

You see, even this intro was too long, right? Anyway, let's turn back to our topic. Here are the runarounds of posting on Twitter with more than 280 characters:

1- Beat Twitter's 280-character limit with Twitter threads

You're probably aware that Twitter allows you to connect a series of tweets to form a thread. All you need to do for that is start your tweet as usual and then click on the + button to add more tweets to your thread.

So what if even this is not enough for you? How can you beat that tweet limit on threads? Well, for me, the solution was Circleboom Publish.

Its Twitter thread maker doesn't only let me go with Twitter threads with more than 25 tweets, but it also provides an excellent experience for creating, designing, publishing, and scheduling Twitter threads to reach a larger audience. Many other social media management tools like Hootsuite, Sprout Social, and Buffer still lack this feature to beat Twitter's 280 character limit, let alone beating the 25-tweet limit on a Twitter thread.

As you can see, beating the limits is not the only magic of Circleboom. It also comes with built-in design tools so that you can support your text with

• templates,
• GIFs, and
• many other visual elements and even add alt texts to them.
• Plus, the option to bulk schedule tweets and Twitter threads to automate your tweets and threads.

Is there more? Absolutely! With Circleboom, you can connect and manage multiple Twitter accounts from a single, easy-to-use dashboard. Also, you can schedule entire Twitter threads, which are not offered natively on Twitter. All these make Circleboom a superior choice compared to Twitter and other tools.

You may also consider upgrading to Twitter Premium and enjoy the luxury of 25,000 characters a tweet at your fingertips. But it will come with a limitation too, and only show the first 280 characters on the timelines of others.

On the other hand, subscribing to premium comes with a few other features, including having a checkmark by your profile, which is also widely known as "becoming verified".

Many people are dying to find verified accounts to connect with them, so this might even be helpful for growing your account.
