In this episode of Y.E.L 2.0, your host Peter Voogd shares his tips for how to streamline content across social media platforms to grow your audience and increase engagement.
Episode Highlights:
- Peter has felt overwhelmed by social media in the past and it has stopped him from taking action.
- Figure out who you are in the marketplace.
- There are three types of people: Results, Role model, or Researcher.
- Ideally, you want to be both a results person and a role model.
- To dominate social media, you are ideally all three.
- What are your main messages to get across?
- Next, figure out your main platform to be consistent on—a podcast, a Facebook or YouTube live, LinkedIn, a community page on Facebook, anything.
- When you do one longer form live video, you can then take it and streamline it into multiple pieces of content in snippets on multiple platforms.
- If you can’t take care of your one fan, you’ll never reach 100 fans.
- When creating content, it’s not about you and how you feel on camera; it’s about the audience.
- Be polarizing; the worst thing you can be on camera is boring.
- Repost your successful content a few months later.
3 Key Points
- Identify some main messages that you can rant about on the spot.
- Do not forget the power of one.
- Everything you post is about your audience, not you.
