This is my first scheduled post with @blacktwistapp!

Who else is excited to start scheduling posts on Threads!?

MY THREADS STRATEGY REVEALED:

I just spent 60 mins scrolling through my feed

I copy & paste any well performing Threads of mine into a Google Doc

I sit down 1x - 2x a week and schedule (using @blacktwistapp) out Threads using this Doc

I can schedule out a week's worth of content in 20-30 mins

I schedule my offers (newsletter & paid products)

I then do "off the dome" Threads like this one 3x - 8x a day.

I spend at least 30 mins/day engaging (most of my time spent on this app)

SIMPLE

I made this post using @blacktwistapp.

10/10 will be using it to schedule posts while I'm on vacay later this week.

Stoked about this.

My favorite new tool for my favorite new social media app.

This is an amazing start-up platform that helps you plan and structure your content.

- You can save drafts.
- You can schedule posts in advance.
- You can move posts around the calendar.
- and many other features...

Since the platform is developing as we speak, many features are on the way.

Soon, we will have an @blacktwistappanalytic tool where you can see statistics on how your content is performing. It's still a bargain price for the value. A must-have for serious content creators.

Already did, and I love it! It's actually the only tool I recommend in my lead magnet. It's the best tool for posting on Threads currently, without a doubt.

Don't rest on your laurels though, you have some stiff competition incoming. :)

My first post using @blacktwistapp!
Writing is cool, but organizing your thoughts is better. So, even if you have a bad day, you have content ready to share.

Finally had a chance to play with the new analytics from @blacktwistapp - so cool.

And the scheduling tool is working out really well too.

Can highly recommend if you are are looking to put more time and energy into @Threads this autumn.
