3 Simple Ways to Gain Social Media Followers

When social media is an avenue of advertising for your business, it’s important to gain followers. There are many ways to attract potential customers to your profile on various platforms, and the information can become overwhelming. Today we want to share a few simple tips to get you started:

1. Provide Interesting Content - Social Media users are much more likely to follow an account if they feel they receive value from the content posted there. Value could be useful information, entertainment, or perhaps a learning opportunity. This doesn't mean that all of your content should consist of only one of these themes, but it is helpful to provide content fairly regularly that falls into these categories.

2. Be Consistent with Posting - Your audience is more likely to follow your account if they know they can expect regular content. This doesn't necessarily mean that you always post at the same time of day (though it could), but more that you post regularly. If a potential customer finds your account and sees that you haven't posted in several weeks or that you only post once a month, they may continue scrolling.

3. Be Responsive - Finally, an easy way to gain loyal followers is by being responsive to them and interacting with them via comments and content. Not only does interaction help your content in the algorithms, but seeing that you are responsive to comments, messages, and even requests for content will make you seem more relatable to users. Users like to feel like they are part of a community, especially with others with similar interests. If a user is interested in a product or service you provide, that is an instant connection for them. Providing additional interaction can produce more interest in your content, business, and profile.

We hope these three tips will help you feel less overwhelmed by the prospect of using social media for your business. Please contact if you have questions or need additional help with your business social media accounts or digital marketing. We would love to help!
