Social media self promotion is a tricky game. Success is a fine line and you really need to know how to utilize your resources to the best of your abilities. The first impression of your content is the key to its success and your chance for absolute self promotion. Reel in readers with these simple and successful tips:
1. Write a clever and interesting title. Whether it be for blog posts, tweets with links, articles, etc. grab the reader’s attention so they continue reading. If you are linking to another page, be witty enough that people will follow the link. Everyone has short attention spans nowadays so your first few statements are vital to your success.
2. Interact with your followers. Replying to their comments, favoriting, retweeting,
and basically just acknowledging them will boost your online image a great deal. Some people even reward their followers with gifts. This is an excellent way to have your most dedicated followers promote you themselves. “First 10 people to retweet me will get a cool mug,” something along those lines.
3. Use pictures. People will notice pictures faster than blocks of text, so grab their attention with a neat graphic. For even more success, creating your own graphics can make you stand out and bring more attention to you.
4. Post on multiple social media sites. If you publish a blog post, by putting a picture on Instagram with a link below it, tweeting something witty with a link, etc. you can advertise your content over multiple social media platforms. This could mean reaching out to more people and increasing the possible traffic to your site.
