One way to make sure your story or brand gets heard is through creating shareable content. This is content that can be easily shared across all platforms by your audience. This is the best way to get more brand exposure, build your audience, and increase their engagement.
Here are eight ways to make your content more shareable:
Create Infographics and Short Videos
The most valuable and easiest content to share are infographics and short videos. People are busy, and they want to read content fast. They enjoy things that can quickly educate them while also making them laugh or smile. Find a way to repurpose your story into a meme and short video that quickly summarizes your story and how you value your customers.
Make It Easy to Read and Obvious
Make share buttons obvious and invite your audience to your social media pages. Any time you do a live presentation, create a written or visual aspect to share along with it.
Ask and Involve Your Audience
Invite them to participate in pools or challenges or other fun, creative submissions. Ask them to share their own experiences and even a video to introduce themselves and how your products help improve their lives.
Highlight A Common Problem and Add A Solution
Advise on a common problem or question your audience always asks. Many use the internet or purchase a product in the first place because they have a problem that needs to be fixed. When they buy the product, watch a video, or read a certain blog, they hope to gain something from it, whether entertainment, education, or a physical product.
Be Relatable and Personable
You are human too. Show your audience. Share things you know your audience will relate to. If your audience feels connected, they will want to share it with their friends or family.
