Follower Engagement Tips

Brands prioritize authentic engagement over follower count and potential clients value relationships over numbers. Let’s look at five effective strategies for improving your engagement on social media.

Ways to engage
1. Turn on post notifications for five to ten trending/popular accounts within your niche and aim to be one of the first to engage with their content.  Bonus tip: meaningful comments with eight or more words have a better chance of getting pinned, increasing your visibility to their followers.

2. Go live to open up a dialogue with your followers, offering them valuable information or commentary on shared interests. Also, make sure to routinely tune in to live videos from accounts within your niche and ask relevant questions or give feedback for host and their viewers.

3. Head to most recent posts from hashtags you consistently use (related to your content) and engage with them 15 minutes prior to posting and 15 minutes after.

4. Support others; take a few minutes each day to view stories from accounts you follow and share them to your own story one to three times weekly. Be sure to @tag them.

5. Acknowledge users who engage consistently with your content by reaching out to them via dm, just to say hi, thank you or ask a question to initiate a conversation.
