How To Soft-Sell Your Message On Social Media
- Write blog post not specifically about the product.
- If you deliver just advertising type posts then your visitors will always have their guard up when they read your posts.
- Teach them something in every post.
- No one will sell your sales pitch. A helpful blog post will get shares.
- Have a call-to-action on the blog post.
- People will buy from you because you’re consistently helpful.
- Use videos, infographics.
- Use the CEO to talk about the company.
- It’s easier to rank your video for keywords than blog posts.
