When it comes to the attention Threads is generating and its potential to be the future of micro-blogging, there are no doubts at all. What you see in the thumbnail is one of the many enquires, that new users are making about threads. I saw this comment under the the post made by @ijelady today. When I saw that the comment has not been replied, I quickly replied and dropped links to read more about thread and find other resources. You can see my reply link below:
I hope the new user comes back to read my reply and explore the rare opportunity we have with threads. But then, we have work to do here.
Creating more noise for threads/using it daily
Marketing is veryimportant for any project - new or old. Threads is no different. I want to use this opportunity to than the hadr-working Squires that go out of their busy schedule to engage with posts and link back to Threads. That has been a big way to create awareness for threads. Beyond that, Threads is ours to market and broadcast.
We have to start from our inner circles and connections. Just as I informed ijelady about Threads and continued to make it look exciting until she adopts it, everyone of us should start telling friends about it. Person-to-person and network marketing can be a very powering strategy to create awareness. your friends here on Hive and others that are not yet on the blockchain are our potential new users. So we should not let that opportunity pass us by.
The number of our active connections represents a large population. Starting from our friends here on Hive, and extending it to our phone contacts, social media following, and physical connections. It is possible to tell one new friend about Threads each day. If we multiply that by the number of us willing to do that, by the number of people in our connections, 5000 new users by the end of 2023 wont be an impossible number.
So threads marketing belongs to us. Whatever method we can employ to spread the word would be so highly appreciated. Can you do your part each day?
Link to where to learn more about Threads
When I saw the above question by that new user, I knew I could explain what Threads is to the best of the little space in the comment section. OF course, it would not be nice to write an overwhelming answer - possibly one that is intimidatingly long. I have to make it brief, but then include a link where the interested person can get more information. That is really important.
So if you come across someone asking about Threads, try to explain to them briefly what it is. Then drop a link of a post where they can read in detail about Threads in their own time. That way, we are able to effectively introduce threads to new users. Our friend anomadsoul has made a very nice comprehensive article about Threads which could be used to introduce threads to new users. I will drop the link below. And of course, do not forget to also drop a link to Threads platform. Below are the two important links:
Waiting for the new UI
The new UI will soon be here. The LEO team has been working round the clock for some time now to give us a better interface for leofinance.io and threads. We have been waiting a long while to have this new upgrade. Its possibly just a short while from now and we have it. We can only imagine how the new UI will look. But just like all the other projects from this amazing team, am sure it will be a great and more intuitive frontend. It will definitely change how we thread.
The countdown has began few days back and once the new UI becomes available to everyone, it will even give us bigger reason and motivation to market threads more. To be an early adopter of any blockchain project is a rare opportunity. It has lots of benefits. The new UI would be any different. So I urge you friend not to be so busy that you got left behind. Always visit threads to get updated about the pending release. of course, also follow the periodic update posts published by the Leo team for the UI project.
Finally
We cannot keep quiet about the future of modern micro-blogging - Threads. It feel so great being at the right place at the right time. DO your best to promote threads. Utilize every opportunity. Lets get the word out. Lets onboard more new users and at the end, we will see threads beating Twitter as the house-hold name in short-form content business.
Be part of this amazing revolution happening right before your eyes. Threads to the moon!!!
