Tag as much as relevant people to your social media message and grow your fan base.

Voraciously Share Other’s Valuable Content

Share valuable content Content Curation is one of the best ways to share valuable content in SEO. But it is not just SEO where content curation is beneficial. Social media content curation is also an awesome way to sharing valuable content that assures high-quality engagement of your audience. I would like to quote Julie Neidlinger of Coschedule, “[Your followers] trust you’ll point out the most important stuff. They trust you won’t waste their time. They trust that you’ll know them well enough that you’ll do a better job finding information that an algorithm or computer can’t quite master. Social media content curation is a lifesaver for an audience drowning in information.” Create a social mix for your audience even if it is not your content. Everyone appreciate marketing content on a social media platform. A social media content curation is one of the best ways to tag an author or an influencer. This helps you spread value among your audience and also gives you high authority level among your fans that is good for your conversion rates.

Time Your Post To Increase Effectiveness

Once you understand the timings, you are all set to go for glory. It is believed that on Facebook, Sunday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday are the best days with up to 32% of higher engagement. Best times for Facebook are 9 AM, 1 PM, and 3 PM. Posting on these timings and days can give you maximum exposure. Let’s talk about Twitter, Wednesday is believed to have 16% better performance for both B2B and B2C businesses. Weekends are 16% more engaging for B2C and Weekdays are 16% more engaging for B2B communications. The best timings for Twitter are considered to be at 12 PM, 3 PM, 5 & 6 PM. You can leverage this data to earn more traffic and conversions using Twitter. Consider your audience and then get hold of the data and see your website conversion rates sky-high.

An Emotional Heading Increase Clickthroughs

Emotional Heading It is understandable that for higher conversion rates your audience must be attracted to your content. Which element of your post is the first element of the impression for your audience? Is it the introduction? No, it is the heading of your post that gives the first impression of your post to your audience. Writing emotional headings is a great asset if used correctly. You can find number of marketing research which indicates that people drawn to emotional components. When the sharing of your post is higher due to emotional headlines, the engagement of your post elevates, that gives you more chances to convert the visitors.
