Threads 101: Hot Hacks to Grow Your Biz
Why Small Business Owners Should Start Posting on Threads Today
Looking to add something fresh and fun to your summer social strategy? Threads — Meta’s fast-growing, text-based app — is the perfect place to show up authentically, grow your audience, and boost your business with ease.
Whether you’re a seasoned social media manager or a time-strapped entrepreneur, this guide will walk you through how to confidently post on Threads, get engagement (without burnout), and repurpose content you already have.
At CinchShare, we’re here to help you work smarter, not harder when it comes to social. That’s why we’ve created the ultimate guide to making Threads a cinch this summer!
What is Threads and Why Should You Use It?
Threads is Meta’s latest platform — a text-first, conversation-focused app that’s fully integrated with Instagram. Think of it as a modern version of old-school Facebook status updates, minus the algorithm noise and group clutter.
Here’s Why Threads is a Game-Changer for Business:
- ✨ 500-character posts (text-first, with optional photos or videos)
- ✨ Import your IG audience instantly
- ✨ Casual, authentic vibe = more engagement
- ✨ No hashtags required (but still searchable!)
- ✨ A great space for small businesses to be seen without pressure
What to Post on Threads (That Gets Results)
Posting on Threads isn’t about perfection—it’s about personality! Short, scrollable, and real-time content works best here.
Best Performing Post Ideas:
- 💬 Encouraging messages + mindset shifts
- ❓ Questions and conversation starters
- 🛍️ Promotions, sneak peeks, launches
- 💡 Quick tips and how-to’s
- 📸 Behind-the-scenes updates
- 🧠 Storytelling and lessons learned
“I almost didn’t launch this new product because I was scared no one would buy. Here’s what happened instead… 👇”
^ That’s the kind of real, scroll-stopping content Threads users love.
Batch Posting = Your Summer Superpower
Don’t wing it every day—batch it instead! With CinchShare, you can create and schedule dozens of Threads in minutes and keep your strategy strong all summer long.
Why Batch Posting Works:

Don’t believe us? Just take a look at how easy it is to schedule over 70 Threads in less than a minute! Want to batch with us? Join our free Threads shared folder to instantly access HUNDREDS of ready-to-schedule posts
Scheduling and posting tips:
- ✨ Best times to post: 8 AM-10 AM, 12 PM-1 PM, 6 PM-8 PM
- ✨ Start with 1-2 posts per day
- ✨ Engage with other accounts in between your posts
- ✨ Consistency > Perfection
Be Ready to Respond!
Be ready to respond with confidence! 💬
Like we mentioned in the previous post, engaging with other accounts in between your scheduled Thread posts is a great way to boost activity on your own account! The key to building relationships and boosting visibility is to comment, comment, comment!
The amazing thing about CinchShare is that you can easily create your responses and access them wherever and whenever you need them using your mobile Keyboard! 📱
Save these quick replies and customize them for speed and authenticity:
- ✨ “Love this! Thanks for sharing 🙌”
- ✨ “Totally agree—this is exactly what my audience needed to hear!”
- ✨ “This tip is gold 🔥 Adding it to my strategy!”
- ✨ “So good. Have you tried ___?” (Start a convo!)
- ✨ “I’m going to share this with my audience, thanks!”
Pro Tip: Create a “bank” of 10-15 go-to replies and keep them organized in CinchShare folders for easy access in the mobile Keyboard. Plus, you can quickly find anything in your CinchShare account by using the search function in the mobile Keyboard!
Hashtag Like a Pro!
Although Threads does not rely heavily on hashtags for reach like TikTok, they are still searchable and useful for categorizing. When adding hashtags, we suggest using 2-5 relevant/ industry-specific hashtags at the end of your post.
Make adding hashtags and links to your Thread posts a cinch with TextClips 😜 Forget retyping the same things over and over again and start saving your frequently used links and hashtags ready to add in seconds! TextClips is available on desktop, mobile, and your mobile KEYBOARD, integrating seamlessly with your workflow to save precious hours every week.
