SOCIAL MEDIA BASICS

We have combed the internet and many top coaches for the best tips on getting a high response rate for your social media posts. Here are some things we discovered:

  1. Pictures and video always win! But not just any picture- when you post a photo of yourself people notice and read your message. If we measured the read rate of posts with a picture versus a post with a graphic design, inspiring quote, etc. we would quickly discover that people stop, look, and read posts more often when it's a personal picture or video. So you want your launch post and invitations to include YOU! Get creative and have some fun with it!

  2. Before and after work messages get the most engagement! The best times to post are either early in the morning, or late at night before settling into bed.

  3. Short and sweet messages work best! The typical social media post read rate is 3 seconds. That means with a standard photo post you have 3 seconds or less to grab someone's attention. With video it's rarely more than 15 seconds.

Bonus Tip: If you want to spruce up your pictures, some of our favorite apps are www.canva.com, PicMonkey and WordSwag!

SPREAD THE WORD

If you haven’t created a post to invite to your challenge group, do so! 

Remember, you don’t need to run and host an accountability group on your own unless you want to. We have several seasoned coaches that you can team up with to make the group more fun and engaging. Most challenge groups start around the first of every month and run for three to four weeks depending on the program, but feel free to pick a start date that makes the most sense for you and your challengers.

If you'd like to receive feedback before posting, please share it on our Team Genesis Network facebook group. We would be happy to help by providing some tips or suggestions on what to write or which picture to include. Click here to connect to our team page.
