#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!

🚨 The Listathon is back 🚨

If you’ve made somewhere between zero and twenty sales on Etsy… or you’ve made sales but they feel completely random and you have no idea why they happened…

I need you to listen for a second.

Because I’m about to run something I only do a couple of times a year.

It’s called Listathon.

And it’s a completely free, live challenge starting 16th March where I’m going to walk you through fixing the foundations of your listings properly.

Not “add more products.”

Not “post more on Instagram.”

Not “work harder.”

We fix what’s already sitting in your shop.

The titles.

The photos.

The structure.

The bits that quietly decide whether someone buys… or clicks away.

If you’re tired of refreshing your dashboard and hoping something changes… this is the moment you stop hoping and start fixing.

It’s live.

It’s free.

And it’s for the handmade business owner who knows their products are good… but their shop isn’t pulling its weight yet.

Spots are open now.

Go to handmadebosses.com/listathonweek and get yourself signed up.
