Problems with Many Social Media Accounts

We often notice that as individuals build a business profile on social media, the personal side of things is neglected. It is so important to show who you are while conducting business online, and balancing these two aspects is key to having any kind of success.

Staying Authentic and Consistent

It has been proven beyond doubt that authentic content generates more engagement, so sticking to who you are and the strengths you truly have, will serve you and your business. Doing this over an extended period of time, while avoiding cliches and boastful content, will create a stronger bond between you and your audience, which will in turn attract new people.

Ways to Revive a Dead Group

Lowered engagement and Facebook Groups that feel like a wasteland are not uncommon. There are so many ways to inject some life into these spaces, including asking better questions, going live, running polls, calls to action, driving new traffic and telling personal stories. Another important lesson in igniting engagement is to start the conversation, don't wait for others to engage with your content, go out there and connect with others on their profile!
