Here’s everything i know (that’s proven to work).
You know social media is important. You either have an eager volunteer ready to help out, or you’re willing to put 1-2 hours a day into DIYing your social media presence.
But you feel like it’s impossible to get consistent traction on Threads. Well, I have good news:
All you’re really missing is a proven strategy. This guidebook is that strategy.
I built this 49-page, 8-module guidebook from the notes I’ve been taking over the last 11 months as I’ve built a Congressional candidate’s Threads account from 299 to 10K followers.
While the focus is Threads, one module focuses on a strategy for repurposing your long-form threads to easily cover a presence on all relevant platforms. This is your new social media strategy.
And I personally grade every exercise to make sure you’re getting maximum value.
Here’s what we cover:

Instructions for starting the workshopping portion are at the end of Module 1. I’m ready to turn you or your volunteer into a social media pro whenever you are!
You see the value in social media. You'd love to hire a seasoned pro to build you a sustainable audience growth strategy that converts attention into donors and volunteer sign-ups.
You just don't have the money.
I get it. Even though I price my done-for-you services cheaply compared to what I could charge in the white-collar world based on my 16 years of ghostwriting experience, I totally understand that campaign funds are tight.
That's why I created this guidebook. The type of grassroots campaigns I'd love to work with might not be able to afford at least $750 for my basic package.
But you might be able to scrounge together $111 for a 49-page DIY guidebook that teaches you everything you need to know to build and execute a threads-centric social media strategy.
This is perfect for the candidate doing everything themselves, or for a candidate who wants to set up the volunteer running their social media accounts for success.
