Visual stimulation

Anything visual is dominating every social media site.  It has been proven over and over that Facebook posts that include a photo or video receive nearly double the shares and comments.  The photo’s that you use can make or break your brand.  Having quality photos that share a visual message is paramount.

 

When sharing images on your page of your products, don’t show the book cover for example.  It’s better to show someone holding your book.  Don’t overload on product photos.

 

Cross post

Treat your Facebook posts as Twitter posts.  Keep your words to 50 to 80 characters to promote cross sharing on Twitter.  Social media users have a short attention span, if you are going to share longer posts, write a blog and highlight one sentence from the blog.  Use hashtags in your post – Facebook hashtags translate into Twitter hashtags.  Link all your social media accounts to Facebook.  Cross post your own messages.

 

Engagement is key

Engage the people on your page.  Ask them questions.  Ask them to post a photo.  Ask them to post a quote.  Ask them to like if they agree.  If you don’t ask the people on your page to do something, they won’t.

 

Everyone loves freebies

Give something away.  Give tips.  Give a special offer.  Give usable information related to your services.  It is important to offer relatable and useful information every day; no one wants to read your sales promotion ads every day.  Give them a reason to keep coming back.

 

Add Facebook to your schedule

Create a social media calendar.  Schedule your posts to come out around the same time of day so that your readers will get use to coming to visit.  Having a calendar allows you to share and collaborate with other pages on Facebook without it being a time consuming adventure.  By creating all your posts and photo’s during a set time each week will save you time each week and allow you create quality sharing posts.
