๐ฐ Corner Newsstand
I've been quietly testing different content strategies on Threads for the past 6 months, and the results are wild!
First off, let's address what many are thinking "Is Threads even worth it?" The answer is a LOUD yes, and I've got the receipts to prove it.
And the best part? The algorithm is still favorable to creators who show up consistently.
Let me break down my exact strategy:
The Content Types That Are ACTUALLY Working
After testing dozens of different formats, here are the top performers:
- Micro-Essays (3-4 paragraphs)
- Personal stories with lessons
- Industry insights with a unique take
- Behind-the-scenes of your process
2. Listicles (3-5 points)
- Quick tips that solve specific problems
- Resource roundups (tools, books, etc.)
- Step-by-step processes
3. Hot Takes (1-2 paragraphs)
- Contrarian viewpoints on industry trends
- Predictions about the future
- Myth-busting common advice
4. Voice Notes (30-60 seconds)
- Quick thoughts on trending topics
- Personal stories in your own voice
- Reactions to industry news
But here's what's interesting: text-only posts are still outperforming everything else. This is the complete opposite of Instagram, where visuals are king.
My Content Repurposing System
Here's how I'm creating 3-5 posts per day without losing my mind:
- Turn YouTube videos into multiple threads
- Take key points from each video
- Create separate threads for each point
- Add your personal take
2. Repurpose newsletter content
- Break down sections into standalone threads
- Share behind-the-scenes of your writing process
- Ask for feedback on ideas
3. Use AI to help (but not replace your voice)
- Have ChatGPT suggest different angles on your content
- Use it to format your ideas more clearly
- Let it help with editing, not creating
4. Turn comments into content
- When you get a great question, answer it as a new thread
- Share insights from conversations
- Create threads based on common questions

Everybody's obsessed with ChatGPT, Claude, and Midjourney, but the real game-changers are flying completely under the radar.
These five underrated gems are outperforming some of the big names:
- โOpenmagic: This tool is crazy for brand content! It turns regular 2D images into stunning 3D animations that make your products pop. I tested it with a simple product shot and the transformation was fire ... perfect for making your content stand out without needing a whole production team.
- โKittl: Canva, we got a problem! This AI-powered design tool is making everyone feel like they've got a fighting chance in the graphics game. I tested their album cover templates and was blown away ...you can create merch designs, social media posts, and professional graphics in minutes without any design skills.
- โPoppy AI: This is the ultimate content system creator! It analyzes your top-performing content, figures out your brand voice, and helps you create entire content systems in minutes. It literally wrote a YouTube script that sounded EXACTLY like me.
- โBlotato: The faceless content king! This tool creates scroll-stopping videos with just a script. The visuals automatically match your words, creating professional-looking content without ever showing your face. Perfect for introverts or anyone who wants to scale their content without being on camera.
- โSuno: This AI music generator is ridiculous! It creates original music that sounds like it came from a professional studio. I tested a rap beat with bright horns and trumpets that went so hard I had to put both headphones on! Use this for your content and never worry about copyright claims again.
But I can show you better than I can tell you... see all of them in action and which one are you going to try:
