X SPACES GROWTH GUIDE 2025

WHY SPACES ARE THE SOLUTION

Spaces are the perfect tool to amplify your brand’s presence, build deeper connections, and establish thought leadership.

Each Space can:

• Boost your visibility and position you as a leader
• Turn your platform into a vibrant home for community discussions
• Give your community a voice, making them engaged, loyal, and coming back for more
• Build trust through authentic, real-time conversation

In this guide, we’ll show you exactly how we’ve helped Web3 brands leverage Spaces for sustainable growth.

HACKS & STRATEGIES

DETERMINE YOUR NICHE

Before hosting your first Space, answer these questions:

• What would you like to talk about? What is your expertise?
• What specific problem does your ideal listener have, and how can you help solve it?
• What kind of knowledge and value could you provide to your community?
• Is there an untapped gap in the current content scene that you could fill?

Find your specific angle. Generic topics don’t build audiences.

STORYTELLING & NARRATIVE

Storytelling

• What message could align with your current brand narrative?
• What is your brand’s story, and how could it fit with Spaces?
• What are 3 top stories about you and your brand that you would like your community to know?

Crafting Your Origin Story

Use this framework:

• The Character: Who do you want to impact with your story? What is your target group?
• The Problem: What problem is your brand solving? What can you teach your community?
• The Guide: How does your solution help them?

Origin Story Examples:

Pudgy Penguins – The holders (Character) are fighting against bad actors and extractors in the NFT space (Problem), led by Pudgy Penguins & Luca Netz (Guide), pushing Web3 mass adoption through community strength.

FinalBosu – Every one of us (Character) is struggling with our demons (Problem), but FinalBosu’s story (Guide) teaches and inspires to fight them Against All Odds.

SCHEDULING YOUR SPACES

Consistency > Frequency

• Choose a regular day and time (e.g., every Tuesday at 3 PM EST)
• Consider your audience’s time zones
• Check what other major Spaces are scheduled at that time
• Commit to the schedule for at least 8-12 weeks

Optimal Format:

• 60-90 minutes total
• Mid-week (Tuesday-Thursday) performs best
• Same time weekly builds audience habits

PRE-SPACE MARKETING

Promotion Timeline:

48 hours before: Main announcement with visual

• Include: Topic, featured guests, date/time
• Pin to your profile

24 hours before: Quote tweet of announcement or standalone reminder

• Share teaser question or interesting angle
• Mention guest speakers to leverage their audiences

1 hour before: Final reminder

• Direct, simple message with Space link
• Create urgency

Visual Design Best Practices:

✅ Clear focal point ✅ Readable text hierarchy ✅ Essential information only ✅ Brand-consistent design

❌ Overcrowding with too many objects ❌ Too much spacing between lines ❌ Unnecessary information that distracts

AUDIO & SURROUNDINGS

Environment Check:

• Stable WiFi connection (wired if possible)
• Quiet surroundings (avoid noisy or windy areas)
• Host through mobile phone (iOS device recommended)

Minimum Audio Setup:

• Mobile device
• Quality headphones (optional but recommended)

Professional Audio Setup:

• Mobile device
• High-quality USB microphone (Blue Yeti, Rode NT-USB)
• External audio soundboard (for intro music)

Recommended Professional Mics:

• DJI Mic 2 (3-in-1 Wireless Lavalier)
• Blue Yeti or Rode NT-USB
• Shure MV7

Pro Tip: If using an external soundboard, pick intro music that makes waiting time more pleasant. This creates professional atmosphere and gives you buffer for setup.

CRAFTING THE AGENDA

Intro Music (2-3 minutes)

Space Introduction (5 minutes)

• Welcome audience and guests
• Mention Space title, remind listeners to show support (RT, like, comment, bookmark)

Topic 1 (10 minutes)

Topic 2 (10 minutes)

Total: 60-70 minutes

HOSTING A SPACE

First 10 Minutes:

• Welcome and speak with all panelists personally
• Set conversational tone immediately

Throughout the Space:

• Rotate the mic consistently (maximum 4-5 minutes per speaker)
• Encourage panelists to engage with each other—the best Spaces are where speakers interact, not just respond to host
• Set expectations for conversation flow (raise hands vs. jump in naturally)
• “Reset the room” every 20 minutes to welcome new listeners and provide context
• Remember your CTA throughout the Space, especially at the end

Final Minutes:

• Thank your audience for listening
• Invite them to follow the panelists
• Gentle reminder to be there for the next Space

A good Space requires good structure throughout a live show.

CONTENT POST-SPACES

Each Space is an opportunity to create additional content for your brand.

Content You Should Create:

• Full Space recording/recap
• Short video clips of best quotes/takes (30-60 seconds)
• Quote graphics from memorable statements
• Community engagement posts (questions/quiz based on the show)

Tools for Content Creation:

• Free: Twitter native download feature

One 60-minute Space should generate 7-10 pieces of content throughout the following week.

FAQ

How often should I host Spaces?

Weekly or bi-weekly at a consistent time. Consistency matters more than frequency. Monthly can work if content quality is exceptional, but weekly builds stronger habits.

Do I need expensive equipment?

No. Start with smartphone, quiet environment, and headphones. Upgrade to USB microphone ($100-200) as you mature. Professional setups are optional enhancements.

How do I get people to attend my first Spaces?

Leverage existing community through Discord, Telegram, email. Invite engaged members as panelists. Collaborate with other projects for cross-promotion. Focus on quality content over attendance numbers initially.

What if attendance is low?

Host anyway. Record it. Repurpose the content. Some of your best content comes from Spaces with small live audiences but strong conversations. Focus on value creation, not vanity metrics.

How long should Spaces run?

60-90 minutes is optimal. Under 45 minutes feels rushed. Over 2 hours loses attention. Test and monitor average listen duration to find your sweet spot.
