Top 5 Must Know Social Media Tips
Want to get in on the Social Media world? But don't think you'd even know where to begin when it comes to actually engaging with your clients?! Check out these great tips geared towards making meaningful, reaction worthy posts and content!
1. Reveal your motive upfront
If you always mention that you don't have a motive, you seem dishonest. Why keep them waiting? You don't want to loose anyone in the process, so keep that content coming, and be honest, be real and be transparent!
2. Use humor
Sexual innuendo, snarky jokes, teasing, humorous videos, and self deprecating remarks attract attention and arouse curiosity. Try something like "Momma needs new shoes, do you think you could whip out your wallet?" It cuts through the noise and makes it fun to participate in your flow. Find your humorous voice and keep the close light. People like playing games so make it a game.
3. Provide value first
For example, giving value upfront without going straight to the final result will give you more opportunities to impact the result. Graduate the intensity of your calls to action and start with the easiest one first, building up to more and more commitment as the relationship progresses.
4. Simply ask
Sometimes being a blogger is like being in high school . Someone has a crush on you and they're just waiting for you to ask them to the dance and you don't. 20 years later at the reunion your secret admirer confesses their devotion and pines about how they should have just asked first. Don't let this happen to you. Not everyone has the courage or drive to step up and ask for what they want. Offer it to them – it's kind and it's helpful. Simply ask your audience to do what you know is in their best interest and then listen for the answer.
5. Advanced Tip plus the Short Answer – Do More of It
Don't be afraid to lose audience either. If you want to use your blogging to build a revenue stream it's only natural you might lose some of the "only in it if it's free" audience. Say good bye and wish them well on their way. You'll attract others that are interested in buying (or in volunteering for your cause or whatever).
If you are already doing calls to action, you're tracking them, and you need to get better conversion, and then consider a multivariate testing software set up. Instead of the slow mo a/b testing, you can drive an ad words based short time, low dollar high traffic campaign to either a landing page or an ad or link to test several variables at once on your call to action. Test, tweak, and repeat!
