Is Instagram Threads Still Worth It? Let’s Talk Strategy.
When Threads launched, it felt like the place to be—at least for a minute. I jumped on early, played around with it, encouraged clients to experiment, and then… totally forgot about it. If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. I’m revisiting Threads with fresh eyes, walking you through where it stands now, and sharing how smart creators are using it to test content in real time, with way less pressure than traditional platforms.
Whether you’ve been sleeping on Threads or wondering how to make it work for your content style, this episode gives you the lowdown on what’s working, what’s not, and where Threads might fit into your social strategy moving forward.
Inside This Episode, I Discuss:
Why I personally don’t love text-only platforms
Threads vs. Instagram: how the algorithms differ
The benefit of using Threads to test hooks and ideas
Why Threads is becoming a creative “sandbox” for quick feedback
When Threads might be a better fit for your brain and workflow than Reels or TikTok
The case for using Threads to seed content—not repurpose it
Lessons for Creators:
Threads might not be your main platform—but it could be your secret weapon. Here’s why:
You can post multiple times a day with no penalty
It’s faster to test content ideas and get feedback
People expect—and engage in—conversation
You don’t need to polish or overthink your content
You can seed content that later becomes high-performing Reels or videos
If you’re someone who thinks out loud, likes short-form writing, or struggles with video content creation, Threads could be your perfect playground.
Final Thoughts:
You don’t need to love Threads to make it work for your brand. If you use it intentionally—as a place to experiment, connect, and refine your content—it can help you get clearer, faster. Whether you go all in or just dip a toe in, Threads is one of those tools you can shape to fit your creative process. So go ahead and throw out that half-baked idea. You never know what might stick.
