Should You PostInspirational Quotes on Social Media?
Inspirational quotes can boost your engagement on social media! According to social media influencer Aaron Lee:
Quotes work well because people can easily relate to them, sothey get liked and shared easily.
Some of the biggestsocial media influencers, like Guy Kawasaki, Kim Garst, and Sandi Krakowski, love to share inspirational quote graphics on their accounts.
Count me as a believer! I always get super engagement on posts with inspiring messages. And audience engagement is critical to organic (unpaid) reach on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and more.
Inspo quotes candefinitely generate a lot of engagement. Asearch on BuzzSumo for inspirational quotes shows that this kind ofcontent generates a tonof shares.
However, encouraging others is part of me. I do believe in authenticity on social media, so if being an encourager doesn’t appeal to you, then posting inspiring quotes may not be for you.
Due to my nature, I’d love to encourage you to rethink this! 😉 Inspiringothers can be a blessing for you as well as them. But it must come from a place of sincerity.
Regardless of whether you choose to post quote graphics, you mustvary your social media content. Your followers don’t want to hear only about your products and services. Always tooting your own horn is a sure way turn off your follower growth and engagement.
Be sure to post valuable content that’s entertaining, inspiring, or educational, to build and maintainyour personal or business brand.
How to Post Inspirational Quotes on Social Media
Keeping your accounts active with a variety of content is important. But you can’t just throw stuff out there haphazardly.
To successfully post inspirational quotes on your business social media, follow these tips:
1 | Use your own:Posting others’ images is not only copyright infringement, but it also makes your brand look cheap.
2 | Stay aligned to your brand: Post quotes that represent your business philosophy.
3 | Incite engagement: Ask a question in your caption!Do you agree, have you tried this, etc.
4 | Don’t overshare: One per day on thesocial platform(s) you useis plenty.
5 | Check your stats: Follow up by referring to your analytics so you know what’s working – or not.
