Are you looking for ways to boost engagement with your Social Media posts? If so, then this could help – a team from Media Update has come up with an infographic, providing a couple of quick tips to help generate more interaction with your content using only a few simple but potentially effective tricks to try.

Like A Sore Thumb

While none of these are algorithm-beating cheat codes, they could provide some handy notes to at least test out within your process. For the full details, check out Media Update’s full infographic here.

Media Update lists four simple tips here, which are:

  1. The Burger King Method

  2. Don’t Create New Content

  3. Stop Posting on The Hour

  4. Ignore Your Followers

Really quickly, let’s go over each in a bit more context, starting with the Burger King Method. McDonald’s and basically every other large fast food chain would spend millions doing market research on the best location to put up a new restaurant. Burger King would simply put their new store right next door to their competition. The idea is to do the same with your posts. Schedule your posts to go live a few minutes after those of a well-known creator in your niche after studying their posting habits.

Don’t Create New Content

Why create when you can simply re-post? Take time to quickly go over your post insights and analytics and find your top three performing posts, preferably over the last 12 months. Don’t forget to use new captions! New eyes on old content? Now that’s effectively reaching growth.

Stop Posting on The Hour

There are established posting schedules out there. The idea is to not follow them. Stick out from everybody else and post either 15 minutes earlier or later; you’ll surely get an engagement boost either way.

Ignore Your Followers

Ignore them, at least until you post again, then backtrack and engage in their previous comments and reactions. This is basically playing with their interactions, allowing you to better manage and hook your followers.

The Wrap

Again, nothing revolutionary, right? Something that you must always remember is that success on social media isn’t something that’s determined by an established blueprint or guide. What determines whether or not guides and suggestions work is your execution and personal flare. If you want your content to stand out, then you don’t have to stray too far from the basics. The simpler your tactics, the better they usually turn out for your performance.
