Businesses have taken time to learn how they really need to market their brands on social media. You can’t win people’s trust and loyalty on social media by throwing a great sales pitch. In fact, sales pitches can get a very negative feedback from social media users. You really have to be aware of the type of content that really makes social media users happy and gets their attention. After that, you have to consistently come up with similar content to start creating a unique identity. If you find this task difficult just like many other business do, it’s best to let professional social media marketers do it for you. Regardless of how you choose to market on social media, here are a few types of content that perform the best on social media.
Visual Content
Since internet technology has gotten better in all parts of the world, visual content has really gained popularity. Videos and images have become the major content types on the internet. They get attention from internet users immediately. They appear more appealing and can convey a message much more strongly than text-only content will. Whether you are trying to explain a complex product or the way some new technology works, it will always be best to use pictures or videos to grab the attention of social media audience. Of course, you have to be creative, unique and attractive for more and more people to feel like seeing your content.
Infographics
Infographics are a bridge between visual and text-only content. They contain interesting images but even more importantly they have text-only content written in a very interesting way. Certain social networking platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest are perfect places for you to share infographics. As interesting as they are, it is not really easy to create them. You will have to use an experienced team of marketers to come up with attention grabbing infographics. They have to make use of the best colors in the best possible way to showcase the unique content of the infographic.
Tips
When using social media for your business, you have to keep in mind that people come on social networking platforms to get information about their day to day tasks. People are now open to the DIY ideas and love to see content that lets them do things on their own. Whether it’s a mother looking for a way to make her kitchen look appealing or a dad who wants his front lawn to impress the neighbors, they are all quickly attracted to content that offers them quick and easy tips. In fact, you will notice on search engines like Google and Yahoo that titles that start with “how to” are often ranked higher for relevant keywords.
Trending Content
Almost all the social networking platforms have a way to show their users the most trending content. YouTube has a full section dedicated to trending content. Similarly, Twitter has one side of the page, either left or right, to show its users the most trending hashtags at any given moment. While people love to share their personal statuses and posts, they would open these trending topics to learn about them, interact with people posting on those topics and give their opinion on the trending issue. If you really want to stay relevant on social media, you will need to find a way to tie your content with the most trending content on social networking platforms.
Once again, it is not easy to create the most suited content for social media on a regular basis. The best way to go about it is to let professionals create it for you.
