People and brands often forget the social part of social media. Posting content is not enough to boost exposure. Your brand needs to: 1. Proactively connect with your ideal clients who will resonate with your content and engage with it. 2. Proactively comment on your ideal clients' content to build relationships. 3. Try different content formats leveraging the ones the platforms algorithms are favouring. 4. Collaborate with others who serve your audience in a different way to you. Do a joint livestream, newsletter, article or carousel post. 5. Run a promo targeted towards your ideal clients. 6. Ensure everyone on the team interacts with content the business shares. These are just a few examples, but there are so many more.
