There’s no science to it or any ingenious marketing strategy it’s human behavior. We tend to engage with the content we can relate with or content that gets our attention. Amazingly, a quote graphic does both jobs.

4- That Funny Meme & Engaging Content

How many times you’ve laughed on a meme and shared it across or liked it? 

I can’t count the number! 

Those memes and viral videos work like a charm when it comes to growing the audience engagement. On social media platforms, you’d find pages and profiles with over millions of followers and thousands of engagement on each post made. 

How do they do that? 

Simple! They find content which highly engaging and serve it to their audience. It’s the audience who make it viral and help them grow their fan following by engaging, sharing, commenting, and tagging. 

You can find viral content relevant to your niche and share it on your profile to grow your audience. 

5- Ask Questions To Your Audience

You can’t remain silent forever and hope that your audience keeps on engaging with the content you share endlessly. 

Wake up from that dream! On social media, people like to interact with a person, not to a bot who only knows when to post what. You’ve to make the communication both way if you want to keep your audience alive and continue to grow. Sooner or later they would want to know, who are they talking to, engaging with, and the best way to do that ask questions to your audience and let them answer it. 

Every single answer is an opportunity for you to connect with your audience and build a strong relationship with them. Engage with them through those answers, reply to those answers, and start to leave your footprints. Let them know that it’s you behind everything.

Most social media platforms have built-in polling feature, but using the third party polling apps can go a long way in terms of traffic, user data collection, and engagement for that particular posts skyrockets. 

The secret of the polling lies in the question that you ask to your audience. A simple question that allows people to answer it in YES or NO can be very powerful in terms of engagement as well as when it comes to figuring out what kind of products, services your audience likes. The data you’d collect with your polling post can be further used in future polls and other marketing activities to generate more engagements and possible leads.

People are always interested in other’s success or failure stories. You’ll find them eager to know whether your business is doing great or you’ve hit the bottom low and trying to crawl your way out. This habit of people can be seen on social media too, you’d find lots of engagement on posts that talk about, how you turned 100$ investment into $1000 profit or why they should not invest in XYZ because it didn’t work out for you. 

It doesn’t matter how the story goes as long as your audience can relate with it – it’s bound to go viral. 

8- Look For Posts That Did Well And Recreate It With Credits

You and I both know that you’re not the only person who is trying to make it big on social media, there are many people in this race, and some have already won it. The winners are called influencers, idols, or experts from your niche. 

Find them and stalk their profiles. Try to find posts that have maximum engagement in terms of likes, comments, and shares. When you come around a post like that, save the link in an excel sheet or notepad. You’ve to find 6 to 8 posts like that from different profiles, and compare them together to find one, two, maybe three posts that fit perfectly for your audience, and recreate those posts in your style and share it with your audience.
