Finer Details of the Episode
- 1:37 - 5 tips to stand out on Social Media when it feels so crowded and as travel agents, we see this all the time - social media is such a big thing
- 1:53 - Who are you talking to? Do you know your client? Who is on your Facebook or Instagram page?
- 5:50 - Posting relevant content, you’re not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, which as a salesperson we think is a bit of a bummer!
- 7:53 - Consistency. Are you going to post 3 times a week? And if you are, what certain days are you going to do that?
- 11:45 - Engagement. This is where the algorithms kick in all of the platforms. Facebook and Instagram, you never know what they’re going to do but what they do love is the real you and they love the interaction.
- 13:30 - The 80/20 rule. Your social media contents should provide value and not just sales. It must be 80% content and value whilst 20% is for sales.
- 15:54 - Have a plan. Be prepared. The worst thing is not knowing what to post and you just post anything.
- 18:35 - Instagram only allows you to have 1 link on your bio. This is sometimes your email address or website address, but there’s an option for you to have one link for all of your site.
- 19:50 - You don’t need to be a graphic designer to produce and post compelling images for your social media, you just have to try this free tool for designing images.
