Here are a few tips to encourage your social media community to share your content.

If you only remember one thing from this post it is this: Social media definitely is not a one-way channel, unlike TV and radio , social media depends on two-way conversation for marketing success.

You have to give back to your followers with direct contact, awesome links, and real value every time you make a post or write a new blog. You have to create a true connection with your audience and get them involved in what you are saying or doing.  Social media marketing is not  just about one-way input and endless tweeting, posts on Facebook, Video uploads and the like, it’s about real, valuable connections.

Always add sharing tools to the bottom of your blog posts.

I overlooked this for a long time until one of the my team members mentioned ” I just looked at your blog and I did not see anyway a visiter can share your posts”.  I realized I dropped the ball there.  So now, I always add a link or a button to any of my blogs or posts just in cases someone finds my information interesting enough to send it to their friends or list.  Since I started doing this my following has doubled so it does work.
