Everyone is on social media, but
not everyone is compelling. I'm sure you've seen the social media super stars
with tons of raving followers. Ever wonder how they got where they are and how
they differ from those who just have tons of followers that don't engage? Well,
there are a few things. I love spoiling my friends, and that means if I know
it, you know it. So today I thought it'd be perfect to discuss some things that
you can do to build your brand and your relationship with your audience to
create loyal and raving supporters. So in true Kelley fashion let's get
straight to the point. Check out how to create compelling social media content
below.
How to Create Compelling Social
Media Content
1. Always provide value
Compelling content is content that
provides value and inspires action. When you provide your audience with value
you position yourself as an expert and you give them a reason to keep coming
back. Valuable content usually solves a problem, address an issue, or inspires
change. Before creating content research your audience to get to know what the
need, want, enjoy, and have trouble with. Then research any other brands that
may already be providing the answer. Once you've done this you'll have a better
idea of how you can help and in a way that hasn't been done before.
2. Give actionable steps
When you really want to take it to
the next level, you won't stop at just providing value. Often your ideal client
will initially be interested in you because you are providing value. If you
want that ideal client to continue coming back and to share with a friend then
provide actionable steps that he/she can take to achieve desired outcomes. In
essence it's like telling someone the name of the best cupcake place in town
and then providing step by step directions on how to get there and throwing in
your top three suggestions. See, you basically just went from strangers to best
friends in the matter of seconds. That's exactly how you want to connect with
your ideal client and become a permanent part of their lives.
3. Show results
The proof is in the pudding. Walk
the walk, talk the talk. You get where I'm going here? If you want to seal the
deal show your audience that you're about your business. Show them the results
that you've achieved by using the value and actionable steps you're providing
them. This will show that you are trustworthy, confident, and most of all
authentic. This can be in the form of testimonials, reports, or really anything
that shows what you or others you've helped along the way have been able to
achieve.
Once you start to implement these
three steps you will notice that you will attract your ideal clients, increase
your followers, and increase engagement with your ideal clients. Like I said,
what I know, you know. Now can I ask you a favor? After you've had a
chance to implement the steps above could you come back and comment in the
comment section below about your results?
Can't wait to hear how it works for
