How do you get followers on Threads?

There are a few ways that can help you grow your following on Threads – let’s explore them below.

Take advantage of your existing Instagram following

While everyone joining Threads are new to the platform, your existing Instagram following can help since it’s linked to the app. By signing up to Threads, you have the choice to send follow requests to all your existing followers from Instagram. If your followers are also signing up, they’ll have the choice to do the same and follow you back.

Post on Threads regularly

As with all social media sites, accounts that post good content regularly generally have a greater chance of being seen and getting followed. Of course, it depends on what you’re posting, but more on that next. As long as you’re posting every day or more, it will encourage people to follow you.

Post fun and friendly visual content

So far, the ethos of Threads seems to be for starting conversations and building a positive online environment. Posting thoughtful things, as well as visual content like GIFs will all help increase your following. If you want to be crafty with the algorithm, it’s worth posting things that people will want to respond to as this equates to good engagement. Overall, posting things that people want to share to their profile is a really good way to grow your following as it increases your account exposure.

Display your Threads profile on your Instagram handle

Make sure you’re displaying your Threads number on your Instagram profile. This lets your followers know you’re on Threads. Threads automatically does this, so as long as your Instagram app is up-to-date, this action should be done.

Get verified on Threads

Sign up for Meta’s verification process which can add credibility and authenticity to your Threads account.
