SOCIAL MEDIA

Engage followers with organic content

Today’s small business owners need to get in front of their customers in ways far different than those in the past. To stay top of mind and ensure you are found at the right time for the right customer, your business needs to be present on social media and provide relevant content that helps drive SERPs (search engine results pages), but also keeps customers engaged.

For this reason, heaving a steady stream of valuable organic social content will help customers find you and can play a vital role in your company’s revenue.

Six Social Content Ideas to Stay Top of Mind with Your Customers

Organic social media includes posts, photos, video memes, stories, etc., that can be posted for free to all users. Small business owners that post organic content to their social media accounts benefit because their followers see the content. But not only that, your followers’ followers see the content too, and over time, people start to follow any hashtags that you use, which can help spread the word even further.

But not all content is the same. If you pick the same type of content over and over, your customers will eventually grow bored, and you may never get in front of customers looking for something different. The best organic social content strategy includes a mix.

1. Blog posts are essential for providing information.

Regular blog posts provide an excellent way to provide helpful information to your customers and prospective customers. Though it can vary by business, most business owners and marketers employ a blog strategy that includes posting one new blog per week to their website and then promoting that blog on their social media channels for a specified period.

With blogs, you also get the added value of a linking strategy to link to other reputable blogs or websites outside of your organization, which helps in your SEO (search engine optimization) value. Further, linking to other blogs of your own can help to keep your customers engaged longer.
