We know you're scrolling anyway, so why not stop and add a comment?
It is one thing to create and post content, but it is another to actively engage with the audience that is viewing, liking, commenting, and sharing your content. We know you’re a busy content creator, but your reach won’t increase if you post and disappear. It’s easier than you think to keep up with growing your community. Here’s how!
You did it! You have crafted content that you are proud to post on socials. Now comes the fun part, building a community. As the likes, comments, views, and follows pop up in your notifications, hold yourself accountable and keep up with the engagements.
1. Dedicate some time.
You know what works best with your schedule, so fit in time on social media when it feels right to you. Set aside a time slot every day where you can dedicate yourself to be in the moment, building a community and proactively engaging with your audience.
2. Clear those notifications.
It will feel less overwhelming once those red dots go away. Make your first priority to check your most recent notifications, whether they are new follows, comments or likes, and respond to them with your brand voice in mind. Once those most recent interactions are dealt with, you can focus on outbound engagements with other brands and followers to increase your brand reach. During your dedicated time slot (which you now have after reading step one) engage with at least 5-10 other accounts you like by commenting on their content or sending them a DM to get connected! The more authentic the engagement, the better.
3. Research and follow.
Take time to research the audience who has liked, shared, commented on your content and your new followers. These are the people you want engaging with your content that will help you potentially reach an even bigger audience. Take a look at who’s following you, and take time to engage with their content. If you like what you see, give them a follow! Building relationships with like-minded creators is a sure tactic to start seeing results.
Now that you have these tips, it will be easy to keep up with engagements! By dedicating time to engage with your followers and potential new ones, we guarantee you will see growth in no time. Every like, comment, and follow counts!
