Posting More Than 8x A Day On Threads

You've probably heard something along the lines of "you should post at least 3-5x a week for your business to stay relevant." Now I do believe this is fine, but what if we are looking for rapid growth? A lot of the guides online say that 1-3 times a day is a good spot, some say that posting MORE than 5x a day is bad because you're competing with your own posts. Other accounts are running automated posts 30+ times a day and seeing growth.

So... let's test it out. 

We need to create a few ground rules
  1. For testing purposes, 1 post is considered a post. 
  2. 1 reply is not considered a post. It will be counted as an activity.
  3. We will need to see if engagement grows proportionally with post count.
  4. We will keep an eye on the time for when the posts perform best. I am currently on Mountain time so I will run most of my posts around 2-10 PM.
