Awesome Engagement is KING.
Not sure what engagements include? Engagements are all of those likes, comments, and shares that we love to see.
One thing that business owners can get stuck on is whether all social media posts need to be about their business.
The answer is…. NO! In fact, you may find that your most effective posts at generating engagement are ones that are completely unrelated to your business.
Of all the different types of posts I make, questions generate the most comments and likes.
Not only will asking questions help you increase engagement through more likes and comments, but questions start a conversation with your audience, allowing you to get to know one another on a deeper level.
SO… what are some ideas for getting people to respond?
We’ve generated some post ideas and questions to ask on social media to help get the conversation started.
