Trust is a crucial component of everything that you do. But why is this?🤔⤵️

When someone trusts you, they believe that you are acting in a truthful and honest way with no intent to harm them💯.

Being trustworthy therefore allows you to build stronger relationships and connect with others on a deeper level😊.

Yet, it'd be a mistake to think that trust is built all at once🚫. It is a result of tiny actions that over time influence the degree of trust that someone has in you👍.

At the same time trust isn't binary. In other words, there is no yes or no answer to whether someone trusts you or not. It's more so a scale from no trust to complete trust. This means that the degree of trust someone has in you can always increase⬆️ or decrease⬇️ depending on your intentions and how you act🙌.

So, it's important to understand the key elements of trust✅. Elements that according to Zenger and Folkman (in a 2019 Harvard Business Review article titled: "The 3 Elements of Trust") are as followed⤵️:

➡️ Positive relationships

➡️ Good judgment/expertise

➡️ Consistency

As you can see in this post, I have broken down what these 3 core elements of trust. I've also included some key characteristics that you can embrace to allow you to successfully embody them😊.

I appreciate your reading this post and supporting me. you're the best💯.

Having a compelling brand story is important💯.

But there is more to a brand story than you may initially realize⤵️

However, this varies depending on your intended business objectives and how social media ties into your overall marketing strategy👌.

Ultimately, social media marketing at its core is all about being social🤝.
It seems obvious, right?

Here's the best secret to enhancing your engagement rate⤵️

While the engagement tips in this post are more geared toward the content you create, increasing your engagement rate at large comes from being engaging✅.

It stems from interacting with your target audience and like-minded people to add value, craft purposeful conversations, and ultimately build strong relationships💪.

This process of engaging to enhance your engagement rate isn't nonsense either🙀.

It leverages the law of reciprocity⤵️.

The law of reciprocity is a key law within social psychology where if a person receives something, they feel inclined to return the favor in one way or another🎁.

It's the whole idea of making the exchange equal so that relationships and their associated actions are well-balanced⚖️.

Therefore, if you want to boost your engagement, the best thing to do is engage first🤝.

But making sure to engage in a meaningful way is equally important because when you give high-quality engagement you are far more likely to receive high-quality engagement too💯.

Is reposting your old content worth it?🤔 Let's find out⤵️

You may question the value of directly reposting your old content. But it's definitely worth it, especially if you're busy and lack time to create new content💯.

Of course, you can repurpose older content too. Making adjustments to your previous content in various ways (as I've covered further along in this carousel) is the approach here👍.

But sometimes it is important to reshare a message or key idea with your audience✅.

Since the time you first published a piece of content, you've gained new followers and built relationships with new people🤝.

So, when you repost content, it will reach new people that wouldn't have seen it before🙌. Plus even if people in your audience have seen the post before, it's highly unlikely that they will remember it!💭.

Anyway, you might as well make the most of the content you've created😊.
