Content plays an important role in your business. Your marketing strategies should include quality content. To be honest, it is not easy to create content...especially quality content. I know major corporations engage in content creation here and there. However, if you are not great at writing you will go down the rabbit hole. It is not easy as it sounds, very few creates engaging content that internet users share. And without this level of engagement, your content will never fulfill its true purpose.
Good news: There are many ways to create interesting content that will go viral. Read and take notes!
I will give you a few tips for making this happen. But before I do that, let's talk about the "behind the scenes" activities of social media:
- Communication- We are social beings whether we admit to that or not. We love relationships and we care about them. Social media helps us to do it more consistently and easily.
- Social Approval- We love to express our personalities and we expect positive affirmations and feedback. Sharing content is a great way to do this.
- Support Ideas: Social media is often used to signal support for ideas, political views and personal beliefs; in this is way, users connect with a greater, altruistic good.
- Entertainment: At the end of the day, plenty of people use social media to wind down. Entertaining content includes humor, memes, videos, music, and more.
The list above are some of the reasons users share content on social media. Do you agree?
OK, so with that outlined. Here are some tips on how you can create high quality contents that will go viral:
Create High Level Authentic Post: It is easy to sense "fake" please ensure you create content that resonates with people. Be real, talk about what's going on behind the scenes of your business. Talk about your struggles, yes I said that (we all have struggles) whether it's----"I really feel like quitting my business, I have a hard time managing my social media accounts.
