The 2025 Rule: Never Post a "Naked Link"

Since the algorithm updates, posts that contain only an external link (like the eBay listing we provide you) are de-boosted by approximately 80%. X wants to keep users on X.

The Solution: "The Thread Strategy"

Instead of one post, you will create two.

1. The Hook (Main Tweet): Upload your video file natively. Write a catchy caption. NO LINKS.
2. The Closer (Reply): Immediately reply to your own tweet with the link.

The Correct Posting Workflow

1
Upload Native Video
Do not paste a YouTube link. Upload the MP4 file from VidFlipper directly to X. Native videos autoplay in the feed; YouTube links do not.
2
Write the Hook (No Link!)
Write a caption that starts a conversation.
Bad: "Buy this on eBay."
Good: "I can't believe I found this sealed Pokémon box at a garage sale. Look at the condition on this foil!"
3
Reply With the Link
Once the video is posted, hit the Comment icon on your own post. Write:
"If you want to grab it, I just listed it here: [PASTE EBAY LINK]"
This keeps your main post "clean" for the algorithm while still giving buyers a way to purchase.

Secret Weapon: X Communities

Similar to Facebook Groups, X Communities are now a major feature in 2025. There are dedicated communities for "Resellers," "Sneakerheads," "Vintage Tech," and more.

Join Niche Communities: Search for "Vintage" or "Card Collectors" in the Communities tab.
Post Directly to them: When you create a post, you can choose "Everyone" or "Specific Community." Posting to a community guarantees your item is seen by enthusiasts, not just random people.

Common Questions

Should I buy X Premium (Blue Check)?

If you sell high-ticket items ($100+), yes. Premium accounts get a "Boost" in ranking, meaning your items appear higher in search results. It also allows you to post longer videos (up to 10 minutes) if you want to do a full product review.

Do hashtags work on X?

Yes, but don't spam them. In 2025, using more than 2-3 hashtags can get you marked as spam. Use 2 hyper-specific tags (e.g., #Charizard #PokemonTCG) rather than 20 generic ones.
