WTF Is Threads?
No, you do not have to create a Threads account for your business.
But if writing is your jam and being a thought leader is part of your business, get on there!
🧐 What Should I Know About Threads?
A text-based platform, Threads is supposed to be more thought sharing and community than marketing and influencing. No, you do not have to create a Threads account for your business.
→ If you have an Instagram account, setting up Threads is easy. You can use your IG login to access threads and flood your bio over. You can also mass follow the Thread accounts of the people you follow on Instagram.
X If you decide to deactivate your Threads account, your Instagram account will be deactivated as well. (Dumb, I know.)
→ For now the feed is algorithmic. This may change, but the theory is that because Threads is new and has limited users, people don’t follow enough other people yet.
→ There are no ads, - yet - hashtags, or DM inbox.
🖋 Threads Strategy 🖋
Your first strategy should be to get on there and build momentum.
1️⃣ Post engagement-producing Threads. This can be memes, questions, your thoughts with a question, etc.
(Questions can be “this or that” style, something that asks people to brag about themselves, thoughts on a topic, etc.)
Avoid going hard on sales, marketing, and anything promotional. Threads is meant to be a thought sharing community, not a pitch platform.
2️⃣ Engage. Reply to other Threads, but make sure to add value.
3️⃣ Get to know the platform. This is where everyone’s at because Threads is so new. As we all gain a better understanding of the Threads culture, we’ll be able to craft a more effective strategy.
Pay attention to the Threads that are gaining momentum in terms of content types, topics, and the origin industry.
❗️Don’t Panic ❗️
If learning a new social media platform is going to burn you out, don’t do it.
It’s more important to commit to a minimum of two platforms and build them on quality than scatter yourself across several and being ineffective at all of them.
If you’re on Threads, what do you like about it?
