WANNA KNOW THE SECRET TO ENGAGEMENT?
The secret to engagement is to ENGAGE. Gone are the days of being able to post and ghost. What do I mean by that? Posting and ghosting is when you put up a post but don’t wait around to see what happens. It may be tempting, but I promise you will see better performance if you take at least 30 minutes per day to engage directly after posting your content.
Here are 4 ways you can boost your engagement today:
HASHTAGS
Add a set of hashtags to your post when it first goes live. This will help others who use those hashtags to see it. Once you add your hashtags, click on each one and engage or some of the recent posts under that tag. (P.S. Would you guys want to see a post about hashtag strategy?!)
BY LOCATION
You already have an audience built in – your local community! Engage within your community – your city, county, broader local area, even your state! I like to select locations where I’ve tagged some of my posts and engage on the most recent posts shared from those spots. Sometimes, I’ll even pick another city and engage there too, just for fun – the closest I’ll get to traveling these days.
IN YOUR NICHE
Engage with those in your niche! If you are a food blogger, it would be a great idea to find some other food bloggers to connect with! I usually search for other bloggers in my niche through hashtags!
WITH THOSE WHO SUPPORT YOU ALREADY
Do you notice that you have other content creators engaging with your posts regularly? You can keep these individuals engaged by acknowledging their comments and engaging a bit them! Did they post a new campaign? Do they have some polls on their story? Help them out by supporting their content as they support yours! This will only help your community to be stronger.
