Definition
X Spaces (formerly Twitter Spaces) is a feature for hosting live audio conversations on X. Anyone can listen, and hosts can invite speakers to the stage. Recorded Spaces can be replayed after the live session ends.
Spaces offer a unique way to build community and authority through real-time conversation. They're less produced than podcasts, more interactive than posts, and benefit from platform notifications that alert your followers when you go live.
A marketing SaaS founder hosts a weekly Space on 'Social Media Strategy Q&A.' Regular attendance grows from 15 to 200 listeners over 3 months. The conversations generate content ideas, build thought leadership, and create a community of engaged potential customers.
Key Takeaway: The real value of Spaces is not the live audience — it is the content and relationships you generate that you can repurpose afterward.
Schedule Spaces in advance so followers can set reminders — spontaneous Spaces get lower attendance.
Have 2-3 prepared topics but leave room for audience questions — the interactive format is the differentiator.
Record your Spaces and repurpose key moments as short video clips or tweet threads.
