Grow your audience on social media channels with three key strategies
Are you an influencer applying to be an LTK Creator? Try these three easy strategies to build an engaged audience on social media channels.
Create high-quality, original shoppable content
- According to Hubspot, posts with 1K-2K characters generated twice as many engagements compared to those with under 100 characters.
- Keep your social media feed or LTK Shop aesthetically cohesive. First impressions are everything—sharp photography and a balanced content mix are key for building trust and inspiring your audience.
Be authentic and relatable
- Your content should be unique and relevant to you in order to truly resonate with your audience. Share products, brands and tips that you love so you become their go-to for must-haves and recommendations.
- LTK tip: You are human too, so share the content and products you use in all facets of your life!
- Expand into new verticals. If your content primarily focuses on fashion, try home and beauty content to expand your product offerings and increase your following.
Engage with your audience
- Ask questions and get to know your audience. Poll your audience on Instagram Stories or ask them questions in captions.
- LTK tip: Ask your audience what they would like to see more of and take action based on their feedback.
- Don’t forget community management! Make sure you reply to comments and answer any questions you might get from your audience.
Bonus tips
- Try something new like doing an Instagram or TikTok live so your audience can really get to know.
- Post more videos! Share a try-on haul, beauty tutorial, room/home tour, or day in the life video. LTK Video posts.
- Sprinkle in non-shoppable content. Build even more engagement and trust with your audience by not always being “sales-y.” Give your audience the opportunity to feel part of your life as an LTK Creator or influencer.
