Social Media Tip – Make your Content More Human

Think about how many million social media posts are pushed out to platforms each day by brands and businesses. How can you make your content more engaging? How can you stay on the top of a users memory? One of the trends in 2019 everyone is talking about (including Mark Zuckerburg) is to bring the “social” back into Social Media. Be more HUMAN.

Post less of the same old “sales” type posts and more content that actually encourages human interaction.

If one of your goals on Social Media is to increase engagement and continue to grow your audience it is ever more important to have an excellent content strategy. We generally suggest using the 30/30/30 rule where 30% of your content is “sales”. Obviously we are all in this to generate some sales and to educate our audience what we do and what we are selling.

30% of the content we suggest be informative. “how to” “did you know” useful articles, etc.

and 30% of the content to be SOCIAL. This is the section I encourage you to really think about sharing content that will make you look more Human.

Have a great day!
