Focus on your Niche
Social Media influencing is a vast industry with different niches that you can make content on. Many people make the mistake of not picking the right niche, which hinders their authenticity as an influencer.
John advises people to pick one niche and focus on making content in that niche.
- Do Your Research
Constant research and self-improvement is the key to a successful career in social media influencing. Research means to analyze others’ content to see how you can improve yours with time.
John always does thorough research before posting any content on his social media, which is why he is authentic in the wine tasting community for his blog reviews.
- Use Hashtags
Hashtags are the gateway to gaining followers and viewers on your content. Every social media platform engages its users by bringing content based on the hashtags they follow.
It is important to use hashtags tailored to your content as well as general hashtags that the algorithm can pick to promote your content to the relevant users.
- Be Consistent
John advises people to be consistent with posting content on their social media. If you discontinue or give less effort to your blog posts, you are most likely to lose followers.
Social media can be a bit of a grind, but it is important to stay motivated and be consistent. Based on John’s experience as a social media strategist, influencers need to post regular content and keep self-developing to remain influential in their niche.
