Social media attention

They are real experts. We are not surprised by that.
People on social media attract the attention in a very (uhm "un"?) professional but effective way. The crazier the better. Dogs and cats with their own instagram account. Crazy challenges. Etc.

And the herd on social media is growing steadily.

However, the best way to attract attention is still to give and get compliments. All apps have become specialists in this. They invent everything to make you stick.

  • Likes
  • Batches
  • Shares
  • Feedback
  • Notifications

all functions that reward you and activate you to give something back.

If you are endorsed by Jane for a skill on Linkedin, then you almost have to do it back, don't you? Linkedin makes it very easy for you to present the "Endorse Jane button" to you.

And you do that, and Linkedin thinks, GOTCHA

Wherever you look around, you see that everyone wants your attention and wants to hold on to it.

10 tips to get and keep attention

  1. Title - Clear, clever and consise
  2. Content - Tell a story
  3. Write personal - That gets immediate attention
  4. Add emotion - The reason for people to share or talk about it
    (Emotion is better than logic to trigger the center in the brain that controls behaviour and decisions)

  5. Questions - Ask a question and refer to the comment section. When you are done reading can you give your opinion? Or what is your opinion about this subject?
  6. Use statistics - Infographics make figures visual
  7. Give proof - Back-up your claims
  8. Be specific - Give detailed information, link to authority sites
  9. Stay original - Go against the grain if necessary
  10. Gamification - Our life has always been a big game - Make it playful

Are you active on social media? Twitter, FB, Pinterest, Instagram? Have you joined similar groups there?
By being active on platforms I mean sharing articles from others, like or pin. Follow and follow back people.

You must ensure that you become known out there.

You can also find (authority) websites and write guest posts, most moderators allow you to leave a link to your own blog

Place comments on other related websites, especially where you can enter a website field.

And keep on blogging, at least twice a week, until you get the result you want.

I hope this will help you a bit.

This is great, Loes. Being everywhere, being time-conscious, being consistent, being persistent, being active, being helpful, being considerate, writing for yourself as well as for others, will take you there. The result is guaranteed.

Thanks for the training, Loes!
