I was fairly good at getting some customers this way and even some team members who I would then teach to build and post the same way. Some would do as I did and stay consistent, but most would get frustrated and give up. I decided there had to be a better way to build and set out to learn some new skilzzz that would be far more effective. You need a content strategy for building on social media, instead of tactics and throwing up posts hoping someone sees them and buys your stuff. Here is part of what I’ve learned.
Do not post pics of just your product stating what is IS and listing the ingredients and the name of it and yada yada you get the idea. This type of post is not helpful at all and will get you scrolled over every single time.😳
Instead of looking like a robot copy of your company try appealing to the actual people on the other side of the screen. What problem might they have that your product solves. For instance, if you have a product that helps give you energy maybe try telling a story instead of stating “but this cause it will give you energy”.
You might tell a story about how you were a drained parent with no energy to get through day and do not want to buy or depend on coffee or energy drinks to get through the day. Tell how the product made you feel after and how your life has been changed. People want to buy but they do not want to feel sold to. Plus you get to help them attain more energy and help them solve their problem.
Once you get the idea and hang of this it might be time to assess your posts and look not at likes but at engagement. How many people are actually commenting on your posts that aren’t already in the company or a customer? It is mind boggling to me at how many people continue to throw out posts that are literally cricket posts and the only people liking them I know are already on their team. TRUST ME people know! I realize this may come as a shock, but most people get on social media to be SOCIAL!! 😉
Educating might mean sharing valuable info about the area in which your biz is in. For example, if your biz is health and wellness then share info on this topic and that will help educate your friends and followers and empower them in their health journey. You are not sharing or selling anything from you at all. You are simply helping them. Giving them some value.
Inspiring them might be as simple as posting a quote, something I do a lot. Maybe try adding what it means to you and adding your input. It could also mean being vulnerable and sharing more of your journey in hopes to inspire them. Whatever it is, the goal would be to inspire them in their journey.
Entertaining is important after all it IS social media and what most people get on for is to be entertained. This may mean simply sharing what most do and that is your life and your family. It might mean sharing a funny joke or meme and lighten up a bit and have fun with it. Business should be fun and you attract what you put out there. Besides, nothing gets as much engagement as when I share my family or funny stories about my kids. Only share of course what you are comfortable with, but remember you are branding you and you need to share You. 
Be sure to mix up your posts and map out an actual strategy, yes strategy for sharing. Maybe do “motivation Monday” or “thankful Thursday”. Many do this but fail to be consistent in this. Give them a reason to check your post every single Monday to help inspire, empower, and entertain them for week. Whatever you do, it is thought out not just thrown up so it matters. Give it some thought.
Take time to create some valuable content and people WILL watch and WAIT for your posts even when they may not be engaging YET. I cannot tell you how many times someone has mentioned something I posted forever ago and they remember but hadn’t engaged in at the time.
Lastly, here are some helpful DO’s and Don’ts that I’ve learned and found to be very helpful when posting on social media.
