Five Tips to Keep Your Social Media Audience Interested in YOU!

by Yasmine Moulin

As I’ve mentioned before, if you don’t have a Social Media Voice & Presence, you don’t  exist! Not great for any business, especially a small business owner.

 If you’re hoping to gain brand awareness, want people to click through to your website, grow your list of sales leads, and in turn revenue, here are 5 tips to keep your audience interested in seeing you.

1. Plan ahead & develop a post schedule. I like to use HootSuite for managing clients’ social media platforms. It’s much easier to manage when you plan ahead.
2. Follow people and be social. Building a following requires consistent and regular interaction. Building relationships with others & sharing their posts will encourage others to share yours.
3. Provide value with your posts. Share your expertise. Share others’ expertise. Give people a reason to follow you. Give people a reason to trust in you, your products and services. This will also establish you as an expert in your field.
4. It’s not all about sell, sell, sell. If most of your posts are related to your business’s products & services – stop it now! Don’t be viewed as salesy. No one likes to be bombarded with sales pitches. People will lose interest. And that translates to less engagement and less followers.
5. Focus on content that moves readers to action. Share information on who you are, your interests, your adventures. Once they get to know you, they will trust you, and you’ll have more success selling to them. Remember, people ‘buy’ you first, then your products and services.
6. BONUS TIP. Use the 3-3-3 rule. Your posts should be: one-third on your products & services; one-third on value-added information; and one-third on you, your interests, weekend activities etc.
