If you donβt say hi, someone is much less likely to notice you, right?? Same goes for social media! If youβre not out there, liking, sharing, and commentingβpeople are less likely to see you! π§
Social media is social and that means interacting through comments, likes, shares and more as your brand is only going to boost your presence on social media. This helps elevate your brand, and make your interests clear to whichever platform youβre using.
Ways to be social on socials π±:
β© Share posts to your story: this gives people a chance to get to know what your brand finds funny or impactful without it living forever on your page. This also gives you a point of interaction with another account, and can create future collaborations or partnerships! Instagram automatically notifies the person who created the content, so no need to tag them.
π¬ Leave a comment: leave comments on content you relate to, like or find funny! Comment or message the creator, to start some interaction if it feels right. This can lead to social media friendships and sometimes people checking out your profile.
π₯ Engage your community: Don't chase new followers, engage current followers. Respond to comments, share user-generated content, and host interactive sessions. Remember, social media is a relationship and it goes both ways.
Not all roads lead to interaction, but they always open the possibility. Whether youβre commenting on a TikTok, sharing a relatable reel to your story or answering a poll, remember that itβs only helping your brand more present. So, get social, and help your brandβs presence go further (while remaining authentic!)!! π€©
