Most people think that taking a photo on their cell phone and posting it on Instagram will make them a media mogul and they’ll go “viral”. Unfortunately, that’s not the case. What people need to realize is that content needs to be curated. You should be focused on creating posts that will engage people to follow your page and potentially bring in more business.

Here are a few ways that Undefeated Media has been able to create successful media pages across all major platforms:

 

Tip 1: Strong Openings Lead to Definite Closings

The better the headline, the more likely you are to have more engagement! We call this the “hook!” What is your hook, and keeps them watching?!

 

Tip 2: Time Your Posts with Precision

No one is going to see your post if you are putting up content at 3 AM. Post at primetime for all platforms. This includes 8 AM, 12 PM, 3 PM, and 5 PM.

 

Tip 3: Short Paragraphs Equals More Engagement

No one reads a novel on their phone, so keep captions brief and to the point.

Tip 4: Visuals and Videos are Key for Vicarious Responses

The more ways you can grab people, the better! Tik Tok changed the way we view social media and Instagram reels have adapted this model.

 

Tip 5: #UseHashtags

Hashtags allow the algorithm to let people who are interested in similar matters know that your content is out there!

 

Tip 6: Post Helpful Content Consistently

People want to hear from you more than once a year, AND your posts have to be good! But being “good” is very subjective. If you provide some type of value it will definitely be attractive to the people you are helping!
