How to Make Social Media Work for Your Brand

In today’s day and age, social media has become a necessity for every brand, no matter what and how you sell. And honestly? It can get overwhelming. You get done with one trend, and there’s another peeping out from behind the wall. And while these trends tend to overload your brain, there’s always some expert giving out “growth hacks” and of course, you must lend an ear. 

When matters

First things first, focusing on when you post can create a visible difference. Factors like timing and accessibility decide whether a post gets scrolled past or saved. This blog is your ultimate guide to practical tips for social media growth.

Add Alt Text (What’s that)

Alt text means a short, written description of an image that aids visually impaired users to understand content. Apart from accessibility, it helps platforms understand what your content is about and brings it to a wider audience. It should be kept simple, descriptive and without excessive keywords. It’s all about being helpful, not over the top.

Fonts in Caption (Use them)

While users are endlessly scrolling, fonts serve as powerful attention grabbers. They work best as hooks (funny word choice) to grab the attention of a reader. However, you musn’t treat it as an art project. Avoid decorative fonts, stick to highlighting the good things and pointing out what must be pointed out. 

Hashtags (Relevant, when used right)

Hashtags resemble that one introvert who’s seen as antisocial but is just selective. Think of hashtags like a map, they lead your content to the intended audience. Hashtags have to be a combination of your niche, community and one or two trending hashtags that relate well with your post. 

Story stickers (Fun and impactful)

Story stickers are like stretching on gym days. Important and create a high impact. Stories are a gateway to reaching your followers. Your posts might not show up on the feed but stories deliver. Use polls, quizzes, question boxes to convert your audience into active participants. 

Pinned posts (Why should I follow)

Pinned posts act as the profile’s first impression. They should answer the question “Why should I follow you?“. Switching it up is essential, the content should be rotated every month in order to match campaigns and seasons, keeping the profile fresh and updated.

Hence, to win on social media, you don’t need viral luck, just better habits (and maybe a little patience).
