Motivations And Quotes

Motivational quotes provide us with a quick and timely burst of wisdom to get our focus back, offering the inspiration needed for the day or occasion. Oftentimes, a quote can offer inspiration for the week, and inspire us when our normal motivation has lapsed. Weekly motivational quotes from authorities and famous figures can serve as great content for customers. Ensure quotes used are tailored to suit the aspirations of your target audience. For example, the target audience that has a predominant number of working-class members will need motivational quotes to get them on their feet to work. Most companies and brands schedule motivational quotes on Mondays, however, motivational quotes can be posted on Wednesdays too.

User Suggestions

Raise questions on what the users want to be seen on your page. By asking for user suggestions, you give them the freedom to choose the type of content that best suit their varied tastes. It takes up another form of research into getting insights into their world. Fill-in-the-blank questions could also suffice.

Live Sessions

This is a very easy content cheat code for many social media managers. During a live session on Instagram, you can draw out content inspirations from comments and discussions. This also goes hand-in-hand with the user suggestion tip. However, not every suggestion may bid well with a strategy. You will have to weigh and shortlist the best tips that will positively appeal to a larger majority of your target audience. You can also set up polls to gather votes on a subject, stir up a challenge where the winner is given a prize at the end. Most times, social media challenges can go beyond the scope of followers because of the perks to enjoy.

Case Studies
