3. People Still Love Pictures


While great blog posts are worth a lot, sharing videos and images on social media platforms can also be a great social media marketing tool. Based on research, videos and images generally perform better than all text posts on social media. Create eye-catching, bright, and thought provoking media to boost engagement from your followers. Even sharing videos, infographics, or images from other pages can be effective.

Everyone loves visuals and what better way to get some attention than offering an attention grabbing visual post.


4. Engage, Engage, Engage


Once you post some content or an article and people share, like, or comment on your post, it is important that you engage with your reader. We are not just sending information one way in the social media world.

5. Show Some Proof


Customers will be more comfortable trying your product or service if they know someone else has had success with you prior to them. Ask a client to write a raving testimonial, submit a video testimonial, or just write a review on a review website and share it with your followers.

If you are doing a good job this is a great way to not only prove to prospective clients on social media that you can be trusted, but it’s also a great way to interact with your old clients again and remind them that you still remember them.
