Threads vs. Twitter and Instagram: Hidden Gems and Growth Tips for Meta's New App

I thought I would hate the Instagram Threads app.

I thought it would be another Twitter or another app that would launch and fizzle out pretty quickly.

...But I've changed my mind completely.

In this episode, I break down how to get started on the Threads App, what updates are on the horizon, hidden gem features that people haven't noticed yet, and tips for growth on Threads and other platforms. I compare Twitter vs. Threads as well as Instagram vs. Threads and demonstrate how Threads feeds are curated with different accounts as real examples. I also share important details like character limits, how to create Threads, why it hasn't been released in Europe (yet!), and why I think it's a lot different from Twitter.

Biggest bonus? Threads offers a way to get clickable links to your Instagram audience without having to tell them to find your link in bio!

QUICK THREADS TIPS:?

1. Threads doesn't have Hashtags, but you should use them anyway (Watch the video to hear why)
2. Don't screenshot! Directly share your Threads posts instead.
3. Intentionally signal your interests to the platform to get in the algorithm.
4. Leverage your existing Instagram audience for Threads growth.?
5. Shamelessly Follow [The Right] People....Never thought I'd say this! But I explain why I'd suggest this just for Threads in the video.
6. Use Threads to Find Your Active Instagram Followers (and revive a dead IG account!)
7. Collaborate with Other Threads Users?to reach new audiences quickly.
