158: Coaching Call "How do I Create More Compelling Content on Social Media?" The Found Podcast with Molly Knuth
-
- Entrepreneurship
Today’s submission is from an Iowa friend who asked, “How can I create more compelling social media content that converts into sales?”
This is a layered question, but it’s one I think we all of us should ask from time to time as we develop our marketing strategy and assess its return on investment.
Tips for making your social media content stand out for product-based businesses
Use multiple images on posts: when viewers see that there are more photos available than they can see from the preview, curiosity takes over and they click through all the images in the post. Each image is logged as one engagement by the social media platforms, and every engagement tells that algorithm that your post is something more people want to see. More clicks = more engagement = more reach. Prioritize candid, real-life images, not just the pretty, curated ones: yes, we live in a world of FaceTune and Photoshop, but what really compels viewers to stop their scroll is something relatable. Think photos that are a little imperfect, backgrounds they recognize from their own community, vignettes that they could picture in their own homes. Incorporate Video: Using video to share new product arrivals, whether in a post, Reel, or Story, will help your viewers get the full effect. Don’t feel pressured to do trendy dance moves or spend hours editing and clipping your videos. Just prioritize being helpful and informative as you display your newest items in your shop via video. Listen to today's episode for even more tips!
