Number 1 tip to engage people is by connecting with the audience. Making sure that they feel you're just a person like anyone else and making yourself more relatable to most people if not everyone. And feeling confident on yourself and your ideas plays a vital role too.

What's your #1 content strategy tip?

When getting started with creating a content strategy, my advice would be to first understand your target audience and their needs. Research their interests, pain points, and the platforms they frequent. Then, create high-quality, valuable content that speaks to those needs and resonates with your audience. Consistency is key, so plan out a content calendar and stick to it. Finally, measure the performance of your content regularly and adjust your strategy as needed. Remember, it's not just about creating content, but creating content that adds value and engages your audience.

Businesses can distinguish themselves as experts in their sector and get trust from their audience by focusing on generating valuable and relevant content.

Furthermore, high-quality material is more likely to be shared by consumers across several platforms, increasing its organic reach. This not only increases brand awareness but also attracts visitors to the website or social media platforms.

My #1 is to use numbers and market trends as a foundation for all your decisions. Experiments are great, but they should be based on at least some info, not your inspiration or personal preferences.

What's your #1 content strategy tip?

In my opinion, the best content strategy tip for a new social media manager/ marketer is to know as much about your intended audience as you possibly can before even testing the waters of social media. This includes everything from age, location, gender, or any other demographic. Then research the interests, buying habits, platforms they use, how they typically interact with content, and any other relevant metric. This is because, ultimately your entire content strategy will revolve around your audience, so you really need to know how to cater that audience as the first step. Not only will this make your content strategy more effective, but it will also make it less difficult, as knowing what type of content your audience consumes and enjoys and then making content for that is easier than making content first hoping to appeal to your core audience. Overall, knowing your core audience first thing will make your entire content strategy easier, more efficient, and most importantly more effective.
