• Provide Value – The single most important way to gain followers and keep them is to give them something of value worth following.

• Create Titles that Grab Attention – Titles need to promise something different. Speak to your readers on an emotional level.

• Understand Your Value Proposition – Tap into the reason people are interested in your niche and let them know how it improves their lives.

• Promote Your Social Media on Your Blog – Your blog promotion and social promotion should be synergistic.

• Respond and Engage – Social media is a communication tool. Make sure you respond to comments and questions.

Use Advertising – Facebook ads are fantastic for finding targeted.

• Make Great Quality Posts – Ultimately, what’s really important is that you write great content and present it well. This is what will really provide value. Can’t write? Hire a writer.

• Learn to Take Amazing Photos – Social media is also often very visual. Learn to take amazing photos or use a royalty-free photo service. It will really help you to grab attention and build a following.

Be passionate about what you do and have a brand that people can really get behind. From there, you’ll then express your value proposition and vision through high-quality content – rather than just posting promotions and advertising.

Engage with your audience, get them involved and be consistent.
