āœØ Todayā€™s Insight āœØ

šŸ“°Ā TL;DR - Threads now has approximately 160M MAUs, but itā€™s growing rapidly. Social media scheduling platform Buffer just released a guide with tactical tips on how to grow on Threads.

šŸ’”Ā Insight - Here are some of our favorite tips from the article:

  • Let your followers in other places know youā€™re on Threads. Also, with Threadsā€™ integration with Instagram, you probably wonā€™t start on Threads with 0 followers.

  • Be authentic and helpful. Youā€™re not going to find the same success with ā€œquick hackā€ content like you might have found on Twitter/X.

  • Similarly, donā€™t be overly promotional. According to the experts, ā€œPromoting things for the sake of it doesnā€™t seem to yield engagement or much growth.ā€

  • Jump into the comments. Threads really thrives on authentic user-to-user conversations. Take a load off from creating unique, new, original content and engage with others!
