Social Media Posting - Don't Dump & Run

When you post on socials, how often do you post and then go off to do another task? Do you schedule a post and not come back onto your social account until hours later? Both of these are the WORST things you can do when it comes to growing your audience on your social platforms! 

When you post, ideally you want all of your followers plus people who don't follow your account to see your content, right? Well, engaging with your followers on social media can be the game-changer you need to get seen by more people, grow your fanbase, and ultimately increase your income.

Here's why it matters:

1. Social Media Algorithms Love Engagement
   The more you engage with your followers (through comments, replies, and likes), the more likely your content will get pushed into each platforms algorithm. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok prioritise content that sparks conversations. So when you respond to comments, create polls, or ask questions in your stories, you increase the chances of showing up on your followers' feeds!

2. Building Relationships = More Fans
   Engagement is the foundation of building a relationship with your audience. By replying to comments and interacting on their posts, you show that you're approachable and invested in your fans. The more connected your audience feels, the more likely they are to support you by subscribing, purchasing, or sharing your content.

3. Get Discovered by a Wider Audience
   Both Instagram and TikTok are highly discoverable platforms. Through reels, stories, and TikTok videos, your content can reach people beyond just your current followers. Engaging with other creators boosts your chances of getting featured on the Explore page or the "For You" page, leading to more eyes on your content.

How Can You Engage with Followers?

• Respond to Comments: Don’t just ‘like’ comments, reply with genuine engagement. Ask questions and acknowledge feedback.
• Use Polls and Questions in Stories: Encourage your followers to interact with your content, ask them for their opinion, or run quick polls.

Engagement isn’t just about building your community—it’s about making sure your content is being seen by more people. So start connecting, engaging, and getting noticed today!
