When creating content for your social media platforms it is good practice to know how to present your content on each platform, to ensure the best engagement possible. Below is a video that will assist you in the creation process, and then we can dive into how to promote your content on each platform to engage with your target audience.

Before you begin just posting content on social media platforms ask yourself these questions first.

1. What is the goal of my content?

a. To educate

b. To call to a specific action

c. To offer a product or service.

Now you have a basic foundation of what actions you need to perform to get you to your end goal.

I always suggest before bombarding your social media platforms with offers to your products or marketing your services is to produce content to give your potential customers a solution before they even begin purchasing anything from you.

Consumers are becoming savy shoppers now, they just don’t buy all willy nilly (yes that’s a word 😃) they search for reviews and testimonials of your product or service, and even if you are just starting out of the gate and have not built up a know, like, and trust factor, If you give them a win up front it will be a no brainer when you put out an offer.

Facebook Insights!

It is good practice to utilize the tools on the social media platforms that you are on to leverage the data provide to give you insight to when those who follow and engage with your content are online.
