Put it in the comments below, put what you've tried to do to get engagement and were you successful or not? We'd love to know and it can help a lot of people out. Hey, social media is a great way to grow your business but if you don't have a lot of following, it's kind of tough to get interaction. The question is, what do you do to get the ball rolling so that you can get followers and get that interaction? Now, here's the truth. Facebook is constantly changing their algorithm so you really gotta stay on top of this stuff but there are some basic rules that haven't changed and will always be there and if you follow those rules, you'll do pretty good. Number one rule is, well, quite simply, get started. You gotta get started. So many people worry about getting started and having the right camera and having the right lighting or having the right thing to say but bottom line is you just gotta get started because that's where most people get tripped up. They get all inside their own head, they try to make everything perfect and they just keep waiting and that waiting and waiting is costing you money. Every single day that you waited, this point forward is gonna cost you money so don't worry about being embarrassed, don't worry about somebody making fun of you. It's gonna happen anyhow so you're never gonna avoid that anyhow but the point is you need to get started and if you get started, the more things you do, the more things you post, the better you're gonna get at it and you'll just simply grow from that point forward. I mean, that's the number one step. You gotta get started. Number two is picking a niche. Now I can't overemphasize this enough. You really have to have a niche that is something that people are interested in. If you pick something that people don't have much interest in, you're not gonna do well. It's like there's certain ones that are always popular. Health is always popular. People are always interested in that. They're always interested in fitness. Fitness is a big one. They're always interested in relationships. They're always interested in love and security. So all these things are always gonna be there. Now if you don't necessarily operate right within one of those niches, you can kind of weave some of those things into your niche. Now we sell survival food and we kind of interweave that security thing into it. Sure we sell survival food but to make your family secure, to make your family safe, you gotta have it. So that's something that we kind of weave into all of our advertising and all of our posts. Number three is you gotta have a regular schedule. Now this is the one thing that people have a really hard time with because they get all excited and they say, I'm gonna post stuff on Facebook and I'm gonna really do well on it. And they say, well I'm gonna post something three times a day and truth is that's really hard to do. You do a whole lot better off to post less often but on a more regular basis. And here's what I mean by that. If you've got three pieces of content and you wanna post them in a week start off with one piece a week. Just one piece a week. If you do that and you can consistently do that for a couple months then you can move up to two pieces a week or three pieces a week. Sure, the more you put out there, the better off you are. But when you're posting on Facebook people look at it on a scheduled basis. So if they're used to seeing a post from you every single day and you do that for two weeks they're gonna get excited and every day they're gonna be checking but after a couple of weeks if it just goes away they're gonna stop following you. They're gonna stop looking for those posts and they're gonna move on to somebody else because it's not like they just sit back and don't watch anything. It's similar to watching a TV show on TV. You know, if you have that show and it's there every week and you watch it every Thursday at 7 p.m. you get used to it. But if one week it was gone and then the next week it was gone you'd think, well I guess that show's gone. I'm gonna move on. I'm gonna find something else to do it Thursday at 7 p.m. So this consistency of having a schedule is far more important than you putting out a lot of content. It's very, very hard to put out a lot of content. I know I do YouTube videos and we schedule five a week and that's a lot. And to do that, what I have to do is I have to spend one whole day where I film a lot of videos and get those videos ready. And that's a big time commitment. So keep in mind when you're thinking about this social media and you're thinking about this posting it's gonna take up a lot of your time. So make sure you have that time allotted and that you stick with it and you stick on a schedule. Number four I probably shouldn't say but I guess I have to is have great content. Great content is super, super important. You know even if you decide I'm gonna post content and I'm gonna do it on a regular basis and I'm gonna post a lot of it. If it's not good, if it's not engaging if it's not interesting to your audience you're pretty much just wasting your time. So what you wanna do is maybe look at some of your competitors that have a big following. Look at what they're posting. Look at what they're doing. There are people out there that make a living on Instagram and I know a couple of them actually that will go out and find posts on other people's Instagram accounts and repost them on theirs and get a following and then drive them to their page where they have all these sayings and all these memes and they actually sell ad space because they've generated so much traffic. So you know if you think well I'm not creative and I can't think of things to post don't worry about that. Somebody else has already done that for you. All you gotta do is go out there and find that stuff that's engaging and post it on the feed that you have in Facebook and your audience will build because those things are already proven. Those are things that people have already engaged with or already proven items and you can repurpose them on your Facebook page. Number five is start a Facebook group and a lot of people get this confused. They think a page is a group and it's not, they're two separate things. A group normally is people who have an interest around a particular subject. So to give you an example for our company we sell survival food and if we had a page you know it would say survival K food page and people would like it and they would know that's the business and they would know we sell from that page. Now if we did a group we would not do survival K food group that wouldn't make any sense. What we would do is we would have a survival group and in that survival group we could discuss things like protecting your family and having a water supply and how to survive in the woods and how to cook without matches and all those good things and that would be information that would be really helpful to the group. So that's what you need to do. Now in a group the cool thing about a group versus a page is in a group if the people have their notifications turned on all notifications every time you do a post in your group they're gonna see it. The problem with a page is only about 1% of the people will ever see any post you do so even though you may have tens of thousands of people who like your page they're not seeing your post. So what you need to do is get them into a group a group that's helpful in that particular niche and if it's helpful to them they're gonna start engaging and when they engage they're also gonna see all your posts because they've turned on notifications but one thing I will warn you about have a little, I guess a teaser video at the top of your group and explain to them that they need to turn on their notifications all notifications if they wanna get the information from the group. Most people don't even know this they never turn it on they don't see any posts from the group and they think there's nothing there and ultimately they end up leaving you don't want that to happen to you. And number six kinda override some of the other things I said but post a lot I mean if you can if you can post a lot please do so and when you post it's so so important to get interaction you have to ask for it. I'm serious about that. So if you post something about starting a fire you post something about having a water supply you wanna end it with a question you wanna ask people have you been in the woods before have you ever had to start a fire without matches what did you do what worked for you post your comments below. That's how you're gonna get comments that's the one thing that people forget about is if you don't ask for comments you won't get comments it's not going to happen. If you have a post on a water supply you may ask people to post pictures about what they do for a water supply do they have water stored is there an extra supply that they can go get from a lake do they use filters and then you can do little things like ask them to post pictures of what they have. Now once they comment on there don't stop at that point a lot of times people will say this is my water supply here's a picture of all my you know kegs of water right here and this is what I've done to protect my family and the person who's running the group will say that looks great well that's gonna end it right there what I would do is ask them say that looks like a great water supply thanks for sharing this let me ask you how long did it take you to do this and what type of kegs do you use and how long does the water stay fresh I'd like to know and I'm sure everybody else in the group would like to know too so anytime you comment on a comment which you should 100% of the time comment make sure you ask them another leading question another question that's gonna get them to post something else and get more and more engagement on your particular post so now I'm gonna do that exact thing I'm gonna say what have you found what have you done what have you seen that's gotten a lot of engagement and I want you to post that in the comment section below if you've tried something already on Facebook and it worked my gosh you could be helping out other people and if you tried something and it didn't work post that too because that also helps people they will know what not to do now as I promised you you could get my free course or an e-commerce at $97 value I put a link in the description below go grab that right now and do me a favor make sure you subscribe to this channel click that subscribe button right there and right next to it there's a bell right there's a bell there and that bell is gonna notify you when I do new videos you don't wanna miss out you wanna be that VIP group that knows about my videos as soon as I post them so once you click the bell you gotta make sure that you turn on all notifications and do me a favor like this video likes help this video a lot it'll get it distributed more too and I really appreciate you listening I'll see you in the next video
