Using Hashtags and Interactive Features to Boost Threads Engagement

To boost engagement on Threads using hashtags and interactive features, you should strategically use relevant and trending hashtags while incorporating interactive content like polls, questions, and calls to action.

Using Hashtags:

• Select hashtags that are relevant to your content and industry to reach a targeted audience.
• Mix trending and evergreen hashtags to maintain both immediate and long-term visibility.
• Avoid overloading posts with too many hashtags; natural placement works better and prevents spam flags.
• Track hashtag performance by monitoring likes, comments, and shares, using Instagram Insights if your Threads account is linked or third-party tools for data.
• Remove ineffective hashtags and focus on those that consistently drive engagement.

Using Interactive Features:

• Include calls to action such as “Retweet if you learned something new!” to encourage sharing and interaction.
• Use polls to invite easy participation, which increases engagement by letting users share opinions with a click.
• Ask questions in captions or use question stickers (on platforms like Instagram linked to Threads) to prompt comments and discussions.
• Host Q&A sessions or AMAs to foster direct interaction and community involvement.

Combining these approaches—well-chosen hashtags for discoverability and interactive elements to engage users—can significantly increase your Threads engagement and follower growth. For example, creating listicle threads with GIFs and calls to action can make your content more dynamic and shareable.
