#57 - How the Threads Algorithm REALLY Works (And What to Do About It)


Listen Later

If you’ve been posting on Threads and wondering why some posts take off while others flop... you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how the Threads algorithm works (spoiler: it’s NOT just a copy of Instagram’s).

We’ll chat about what Threads looks for when deciding what to show people, the role of engagement (and what kind of engagement actually matters) and why posting more isn’t necessarily the answer.

I’m also sharing simple, practical tips you can use right now to boost your reach, without needing to go viral or burn yourself out trying.

✨ In this episode:
✔️ How Threads decides what shows up in feeds
✔️ The key signals the algorithm looks for
✔️ What content performs best (and why)
✔️ Actionable ways to work with the algorithm

Whether you’re brand new to Threads or feeling a bit stuck, this episode will give you clarity and confidence to grow!

If your Etsy shop feels slow, confusing, or like your sales are happening by accident…

This is your sign to stop guessing.

I’m running Listathon, a free live challenge for handmade business owners who want their Etsy listings to actually do their job.

Inside the challenge, I’ll show you how to look at your listings properly, spot what’s holding them back, and fix the foundations that help buyers find, trust, and buy from you.

Not by making more products.

Not by panic-posting on Instagram.

And not by working yourself into a tiny business gremlin with a label printer.

We’re fixing the things already sitting in your shop.

Your titles.

Your photos.

Your structure.

The bits that turn browsers into buyers.

So by the end, you’re not just hoping Etsy suddenly wakes up and blesses you with sales.

You’ll know what needs fixing, why it matters, and what to do next.

Listathon starts Monday 15th June.

It’s live, it’s free, and spots are open now at handmadebosses.com/listathonweek.
