11 Tricks To Boost Your Social Media Followers

Capturing social media followers is a great way to increase revenue. Before you decide to become engaged in social media, you have to ask if you are prepared to post regularly and whether you are committed.  If you capture an audience, that can lead to purchases on your website. Oftentimes, businesses capture an audience on one social media platform and disregard others. The idea is to have your “followers” engage you on more than one social media platform. The key to any social media image or “impression” is to create visually appealing content. Relevant content is also important keeping in mind that almost 100 billion people are engaged through social media.

Below are some tips on attracting followers to your social media accounts.

1. Create attractive images
2. Develop a call to action campaign
3. Keep your messages concise
4. Lead followers to  your website with incentives
5. Use Hashtags
6. Make sure your content can be easily shared
7. Ensure your links are active and archive links t o avoid “404” Errors on your website
8. Create your social media content on your website in a widget
9. Create an attractive and modern website
10. Develop a marketing plan
11. Post regularly

Remember that social media should be used as a gateway to drive traffic to your website. So it is very important to have the same social media content on your website. Your website should be modern and clean with no broken links. GOOGLE despises broken links. Most websites can be easily maintained with DO-IT-YOURSELF open source applications (WordPress, Joomla, Shopify, etc).

The number of followers you attract and maintain has value and builds clout. Whether you position yourself as a Expert, Hobbyist, Public Figure, Business, OR other, two things are clear; post great content and stay active. The amount of clout that you have builds credibility to your brand. In our article, “How to build a successful brand using social”, we speak to how clout on social media can increase sales.
