Should you bother with Threads?

A new social media platform called Threads was released. 

Much like a shiny object, it’s garnered attention, and its supporters are touting words like “opportunity” and “untapped market”.

But does the platform’s release really change anything for you or me?

Not necessarily.

Here’s the thing: We’re continually bombarded with new platforms, new technologies, and new trends. 

It’s easy to feel the pressure to be everywhere at once. 

However, the reality is that this kind of approach is unsustainable unless you have a dedicated team of hundreds to manage your social media.

There’s a hidden trap in the clamour for relevance on every platform – burnout. 

Attempting to keep up, to be present and active everywhere, can quickly lead to exhaustion.

And what happens when you’re exhausted? 

Your content, your engagement, and ultimately your brand can suffer.

So, where should you be? 

The answer is straightforward. 

The best social media platform for you is the one that you actually use.

The one you feel comfortable on. 

The one where your audience is. 

The one you can consistently commit to, without feeling overwhelmed or spread too thin.

Remember, it’s better to be genuinely present and engaged on one platform, than sporadically active (or inactive) on several.

Ask yourself, which social media platform feels right for your business?
