How to Create Content That Performs on Social Media (Infographic)

The two halves of social media involve sharing at the right time and with the proper visuals, combined with content people want to share. Let’s explore two ways you can create content that people want to share:

1. Appeal to Their Sense of Validation

Studies have shown that people are 32% more likely to up-vote a comment that has been liked already. This behavior is driven by our desire to join up with something that is already popular so we feel included and approved by our peers. Take advantage of this by adding counters to your social media buttons so people know how many shares it has received.

2. Appeal to Their Beliefs and Desires

People are far more likely to share something they are passionate about. Whether its a cause they support, or something they feel defines them, if you can appeal to these elements of your audience, you will give them the motivation to share your work.
