This is the One Social Media Trick That’ll Make You Question Everything You Know About Marketing (and Probably Annoy a Few People, Too!)
Alright, gather ’round, fellow digital marketers.
Prepare to have your minds blown and your sensibilities slightly offended. I’m about to reveal the most effective, yet shockingly underutilized, social media tactic in existence.
Psst… after that big build up, I hope you won’t be disappointed, because this is a thousand times more important than you might at first think it is.
Seriously.
Pay close attention now, because the most shockingly underutilized social media tactic is called…
Are you ready?
Here it comes…
…being interesting.
I know, I know. It’s a revolutionary concept. But stay with me here.
The problem with most social media marketing is that it’s boring.
Boring boring boring BORING!
It’s a relentless stream of self-promotion, sales pitches, and stock photos masquerading as “engagement.” It’s the digital equivalent of that guy at the party who only talks about himself and his multi-level marketing scheme.
No wonder people are tuning out.
But what if, instead of trying to sell, you focused on connecting? What if you shared content that was actually – you know – interesting?
Think about it. People scroll through social media to be entertained, informed, or inspired. They don’t want to be bombarded with ads and sales pitches.
So, give them something worth their time. Share funny memes, thought-provoking articles, behind-the-scenes glimpses into your company culture. Spark conversations, ask questions, and actually engage with your audience.
And for the love of all that is holy, stop using those cheesy stock photos. They’re about as authentic as a politician’s smile.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. “But being interesting takes time and effort!”
Yes, it does. But guess what? So does creating content that no one cares about.
So, ditch the boring and embrace the bold. Be authentic, be creative, and most importantly, be interesting.
Your followers (and your bottom line) will thank you.
Disclaimer: This tactic might result in a few unfollows from people who prefer bland, corporate content.
But hey, who needs those people anyway?
You’re building a community of engaged, passionate fans who actually care about what you have to say.
And that, my friends, is worth its weight in gold.
