There's More Out There!

You've published your first Doddle on Facebook and Instagram. 

Nice work!

But remember when we said that different people spend time in different places?

Well, there's more to explore.

Facebook and Instagram are only the beginning. There are other social networks where people might discover your business, project or ideas.

And the good news? dodd.ly can help you publish to several of them from the same workspace.

Let's meet a few more.

Pinterest: A place for ideas and inspiration.

Pinterest is where people explore and save ideas, from recipes and home improvements to fashion, travel and creative projects.

If your content looks good in a picture or helps someone discover something useful, Pinterest might be worth exploring.

On Pinterest, posts are called Pins, and you can organise them into collections called boards.
Getting started:

1. Visit Pinterest.
2. Create a free Business account, or convert an existing personal account.
3. Add your profile details and create a board for a topic you'd like to share.
4. Return to Connections in dodd.ly and connect your Pinterest account.

Threads: Join the conversation.

Threads is a place for sharing thoughts, short updates, questions and conversations.

You don't always need a photograph or a big announcement. Sometimes a few interesting sentences are enough to start a discussion.

Getting started:

1. Visit Threads or open its app.
2. Create a profile using one of the available sign-up methods. Since you already have Instagram, you may be able to use that account.
3. Complete your profile and get familiar with how conversations work.
4. Connect Threads through Connections in dodd.ly.

You can now include Threads when preparing future Doddles.

Bluesky: Discover new conversations.

Bluesky is another social network built around sharing posts and joining public conversations.

It's worth exploring if you enjoy sharing ideas, updates and opinions or connecting with people interested in particular subjects.

Getting started:

1. Visit Bluesky.
2. Choose Sign up and create your account.
3. Add a profile picture, description and other details you'd like people to see.
4. Follow a few accounts that interest you.
5. Head back to dodd.ly and add Bluesky in Connections.

No invitation is needed to join.

And there's more on the way.

You may also know LinkedIn, a social network focused on professional connections, businesses and careers.

If you're running a business or offering professional services, it might be especially interesting.

You can explore LinkedIn and learn how to create a company Page.

LinkedIn support in dodd.ly is coming soon.

We'll update this guide when it's available.

Do you need all of them?

Absolutely not.

Different social networks offer different opportunities, but managing more accounts isn't automatically better.

Start with the ones that make sense for what you want to share.

You already have Facebook and Instagram. Perhaps there's one more you'd like to try.

And when you're ready, you can bring your new accounts into dodd.ly and include them in your publishing plans.

What's next?

You've got places to share your content.

But what should you actually share?

Good news: you don't need an endless supply of new products, announcements or groundbreaking ideas.
