Getting engagement on your page comes down to two things
1 Common interest
2 Good Content
I think it’s best to follow and network with people that have a common interest.
When you engage and build a tribe of people that have common interests chances are they will engage and buy .
Your content or status updates can be high quality but still not get engagement because of the audience.
This is why I am not accepting friend request from people on who I don’t have common interests.
I am a socialmedia marketer so therefore I must continually add people that are likeminded otherwise my engagement will drop.
There is nothing like producing content and not getting a response .
I could deal with putting out content in front of my targeted audience that doesn’t resonate .
This is to be expected sometimes not every piece is a home run .
It’s annoying putting hours and years publishing content to an audience that have no interest in what I do.

This is why you shouldn’t focus on your follower counts but instead focus on building a targeted audience .
Whenever people engage on your post the life of that post extends organically .
It doesn’t stop there because you can extend the reach of your post even more by putting some marketing dollars behind it .
That is why it’s important to have people you associate with have a common interest .
I just finished posting on linked in and commenting on other business peoples post.
And why I do that ?
1 They are not my competition
2 I can leverage their audiences .
Commenting on other peoples post is a method that works . Look at number 2 and you will see that I said I leverage their audience.
Now people can see the value I am putting out and start getting curious about me .
See now I that I have their attention the door opens up to partner or even strike business deals. People get drawn in even more because now I am conversing casually and not trying to offer them a thing .
That gets people every time . Like why would he take up interest in me and not ask for a dime .
At this point I have your undivided attention .
You don’t want to go anywhere now after listening and learning from me.
You are going to advocate on my behalf at this point . Word of mouth is powerful especially on the internet.
Word of mouth is Advertisement both good and bad . You most definitely want good recommendations it looks good on you.
A good recommendation is going to win you favor in front of more people .
Some people like going about getting attention the wrong way.
People can tell when you are doing things out of desperation. Some people do make headway being deceitful but that’s only temporarily. You need to innovate and keep learning in order to get longevity .
How many 1 hit wonder artist have you seen come on the scene then disappear?
I know I have seen it . What are you going to do with the attention when you get it ?
You can get my attention what are you going to do to make it worth my while .
Engagement is key for entertainers , entrepreneurs , college students, athletes the employed the unemployed. If we never had talent scouts introducing people where would some of today’s talent be ?
There are just so many different ways of getting engagement .
Some of the things that I have been sharing with you are some of the most basic .Yes my advice us basic advice but can get you extraordinarily results .
Sometimes people don’t want to do the basic things because they are lazy or o they like complicating the process .
And nothing beats testing new methodologies strategically and creatively .
So if you want people to know about you put yourself out there . You have to plant seeds before you can manifest what you want.
So therefore trust yourself and keep working towards what you want to achieve .
In this instance the goal is to get engagement. Once you develop the art form you will become a magnet and people will flock t o you for advice.
People like authenticity and that is one of the reasons why very few people become successful .
Everyone seems to want to follow the herd then get upset and discouraged when things don’t go according as planned .
Makes no sense planning something then doing things that are counterproductive untoward . When you do things like that all you do is make things harder on yourself.
Why do that?
Sometimes making changes requires a shift in thinking . “Old habits are hard to break but necessary if you want to grow .”
I realized that a few years back and I recognize it now . This time around it’s more about socialmedia engagement because I need them eye balls .
I invest my time heavily on socialmedia and my reward is coming . I am using linked in more often too . .
The reason why I am getting on peoples radar is because I contribute .
My conversations are about how I can best serve the needs of the people not solely my own. I am not saying neglect your wants but go in with the intent to serve and solve.
You might have a service or idea that you want to share like so many other people.
It’s called giving without any expectations .
The upside is that people start noticing you from doing that. People like people that take interest in them . There are very few people like that in this world and that’s why you will stand out easily .
You have to be true to yourself first because if it ain’t genuine people will see through you . Once a person is comfortable with you they start opening up to you .
Usually when people open up it’s because they confide in you . That’s the position that you should want to be in .
When people are not comfortable with you they willing to open up.
It’s much easier to open a door with keys than having to bust the door down.
If you are out here frontin you will attract the wrong people . Rest assured when things go wrong certain people will disappear.
There are people that will stick with you through thick and thin just make sure you respect and cherish them .
I have seen people turn their backs on people that believed in them and invested in them when no one thought it was possible.
Sometimes we get big headed and forgetful.
We allow our accomplishments to override the respect ,the hardwork,years that it took to reach each milestone.
Conclusion
Success is rented not guaranteed remember that. You can be the center of attention today and Forgotten tomorrow .Keep pushing and striving .
