𝑨/𝑩 𝑻𝒆𝒔𝒕: 𝑻𝒉𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒔 𝒗𝒔. 𝑿 (𝑻𝒘𝒐-𝑷𝒉𝒂𝒔𝒆 𝑬𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒊𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕)

Thanks to Hindu philosophy, I finally have the courage to go public.

Over the first 7 days, I posted identical content daily on both platforms. After seeing minimal traction on X (even with a $100 boost), I threw out X and doubled down on Threads. Here’s how it played out:

Phase 1 (Days 1–7)

• Threads (organic): +100 followers (3 → 103)
• X (with $100 ads): +6 followers (all existing friends 🙏)

Phase 2 (Days 8–14) (1 hour daily)

• 100% focus on Threads—no ads, no X posts
• Threads: +97 followers (103 → 200)

Key Takeaways

• Barrier for new creators on X: It’s a tough crowd—better to build your base elsewhere, then move to X. (Still great for tuning into the big players.)
• Instant organic lift on Threads: The algorithm favors newcomers, and that “First Thread” badge is gold—use it wisely (I had no idea at first!).
• Calling all new creators and influencers: jump into Threads now. I’m hardly ever first on a trend, yet this timing works —thanks, Chaekyung Lim!

Frustrated by slow growth? Sometimes, timing and platform beat content.

I’d love to be your first follower
