Threads
450M+ monthly users; engagement runs ~73% higher than X; personal accounts get 10-15x the reach of brand accounts
Most businesses have not shown up yet, the organic-reach honeymoon is still on, and founder voices beat brand voices 10 to 1
Eventbrite + Meetup events
78% of organizers call in-person events their most impactful channel; 54% of attendees plan to attend more in 2026
Small businesses think events are for big brands, a free monthly workshop listed on Eventbrite/Meetup fills itself and hands you emails
