A great social media post consists of…

  1. Preparation – this is the key ingredient. A good helping of preparation goes a long way and makes sure you can be ready for getting the right message out.
  2. Wording – this is super important especially in a world where political (and any other type of) correctness is everything and well even if it wasn’t people are attracted to good wording, consider this the aromatic ingredient!
  3. Creativity – the heart of all good marketing, but not everything. This is the ingredient that brings everything together, let’s consider it the sauce of your dish.
  4. Engagement – don’t just set and forget things! Make sure you reply to people who engage or at least like their posts.
  5. Media – this is super important, at this time it’s almost impossible to get any attention without some visual stimulus bombarding people!
