10 Ways To Make Your Social Media Posts Stand Out!


Social Media trends are changing all the time but the most crucial part about crafting the post is how valuable it is to the consumer.

Here are 10 tips to make your social media posts stand out:

1.  Be Inspiring, Interesting, & Informational
A post needs to be one that that others find enough value in to share with friends and colleagues. You gain credibility by including citations and references, and by sharing your expert sources.

2.  Post to Answer Questions
Post with your audience in mind: know what their questions and concerns are and why they’re using social media. Answer questions in a post before people have to ask them. Show them you care what they think and want them to understand the importance of working with you.

3.  Write Great Headlines
Create compelling headlines for optimal social media shares. Be creative and find ways to get your point across in a short crisp way.

4.  Use Your Key Words
Use key words from your website on your social media to help with SEO. Add posts from your website on Social Media websites to increase awareness.

5.  Give Your Posts Time
When writing longer posts, give your posts a day or two to age.  This gives you time to switch gears between writing and editing to really fine tune your post.

6. Don’t Always Post About Business
Post DIY’s or fun tips about certain seasons, holidays, or other ideas your customers would find interesting. 

7. Ask Questions
Get the customer involved by asking a question or tell them to add a caption. This will help with engagement to your page.

8.  Use Quality Images
You can exercise greater hold on your readers’ attention with interesting photos, screenshots, or graphics.  Ensure they’re of high quality and relevant to your post for visually stimulating engagement.

9.  Avoid Repetition
Don’t try to force your ideas with filler content; if you’re satisfied with what you've got, stop writing. Edit after you've finished writing.

10.  Share Other People’s Articles You Like
Show that you know what is going on in the business and stay up to date with changes. Share interesting or informational posts you find online.
