Is organic social media dead?
Well, not quite.
It’s certainly evolved over the years. Gone are the days when you could post something to your personal or business profile, and all of your followers would see it in their chronological feeds!
Unless you run a very large or very active social media account, you’ve probably noticed a decline in organic reach for most of your posts. Every platform wants us to pay for reach and engagement, so while you can no longer reach a BIG audience with your unpaid posts, it’s still a cost-effective way to share content and build a community!
I use social media to show thought leadership, build relationships, and keep myself top-of-mind for people who may use my services, now or in the future. Most of my actual sales come from referrals and word-of-mouth, but I know people are checking me out online before they schedule a consultation.
How Can You Get More Organic Reach?
One way to maximize the effectiveness of your posts is to encourage engagement or give a “call to action.” Basically, you need to ask the reader/viewer to do something after consuming your piece of content!
Of course, that action can mean asking your audience to buy your product or service or to take the next step in their purchasing journey – like signing up for your lead magnet.
That action can also be a call for engagement – like, comment, share, save, tag – so that your social media content becomes a two-way conversation between you and the person enjoying your content. This is where you can have fun with social media! Calls to action can include questions that ignite conversation.
When I write social media posts for myself and my clients, I’m always conscious about what action(s) I want the reader to take. Because I’ve compiled various lists of CTAs to assist me with writing, it only makes sense for me to put them all in one spot for YOU to enjoy and use!
