How Threadgehog helps
You don't need a posting history: paste about ten posts that got plenty of replies, from creators in your space, as text or Threads links, and Threadgehog writes in that style. Tell it once what the course is and what people should do at the link, then set the link share: at 25%, about 1 in 4 posts point people to enrollment and end with your link. Approve what's good and Threadgehog sends it to your scheduler on the schedule you pick, while the app is open.
An example brief

Product
Furniture Refinishing Cohort
What it is
A six-week cohort course on refinishing furniture, with live critiques
Who it is for
People who want to refinish their own furniture
Link
Your course enrollment page
What readers should do
Enroll, or join the waitlist for the next cohort
Posts that link to it
25% of posts. Most posts should teach something from inside the course, so about 1 in 4 points to enrollment.
Plan
Solo. One course is one project, and Solo includes 2 projects, so a second course still fits.
Example posts
A regular post
A student sent me a photo of her grandmother's dresser. Before: water rings and one drawer that wouldn't close. After: she cried, her mom cried, and I cried at my kitchen table reading it.
A thread that links to it
First cohort: 23 people, 6 weeks, 23 pieces of furniture. 21 finished. One person refinished the same chair four times because she kept getting better.
The live critiques did more than the videos. Seeing someone else's brush marks on camera fixed things I'd explained three times.
The next cohort starts in 5 weeks. Join the waitlist for first pick of spots: [link]
The X version
A student sent me a photo of her grandmother's dresser. Before: water rings and a drawer that wouldn't close. After: she cried, her mom cried, and I cried at my kitchen table reading it.

Questions
Do I need posts of my own first?
No. A brand-new account works. Paste about ten posts from your niche that got plenty of replies, from any account, and Threadgehog writes in that style. The app shows you how to find them. Once your own posts start doing well, paste those and rebuild the brand voice.
How does publishing work?
Connect the scheduler you already use: Buffer, Typefully, Publer, Metricool or Postiz. Threadgehog sends the posts you approve to it on the schedule you pick: once a day, twice a day, every 6 hours or every hour, while the app is open. Threadgehog picks the time for each post from your posts a day, spread from 9 AM to 9 PM, so nothing needs setting up inside the scheduler, which then publishes them to Threads and X. Buffer, Typefully and Postiz post multi-post threads as threads. Publer and Metricool take single posts, so a short thread is joined into one post and a long one stays in Pending.
