In 9 days I gained 1000 FOLLOWERS.
Here is how I done it:
1. I posted consistently, I challenged myself in April to post every single day for 30 days, clearly the consistency paid off!
2. I learnt what works and what doesnt work, I tested different types of content to see what formats work for me and what doesnt. Getting to know your audience is the best thing you could do to build a community!
3. I created a post that went ‘viral’. It is the post that got me 72,000 impressions and 650+ followers , but that wasn’t it’s purpose…
This post was created on a whim, it had no real thought behind it and it was just a random post I thought to create within 5 minutes. But, it is always the posts that take 5 minutes that go viral compared to the ones you plan for hours.
Let me tell you something though, yes I was proud that my post went ‘viral’ and yes I did keep coming back to check the analytics. 🙈 But no I don’t post on social media in the hopes my content will go viral, and you shouldn’t to.
Going viral shouldn’t be the reason you post, you should be posting to share valuable thoughts and knowledge, to build a community and just because you love doing what you do. Yes it has its perks, but don’t feel like a failure if your content doesn’t go viral!
