If your content is really unique and insightful, you can also launch an influencer marketing campaign to significantly increase your reach.

Lists and polls

Creating lists and polls are another great way to creatively promote your content on the social media. A list can be anything like the top 10 places, a list of pets, and so on. It creates curiosity among the users. A poll can be used to increase an engagement. You can create a poll asking a question like “Which is your favorite action movie?” and so on.

Ask a question or post quotes and statistics

A provoking quote from some famous personalities can attract many people to your post. You may also ask questions, which may be a suggestion for a movie, a quick reply on how the people feel about something or more. This helps in increasing an engagement. Another great way of making people curious enough to act is by posting graphs, statistics, or figures on a specific issue. Many social media influencers are doing this to get a good engagement on their posts.

Ask your audiences to make a prediction

Most of the people want to make a prediction despite having a less knowledge. You can ask people to make a prediction on anything related to your brand. It can be anything like asking people to predict the result of an election, a football match, or any other stuff.

Share snippets

A snippet can be anything from a brief extract to a tiny piece of information. You can generate 20 unique snippets from a single piece of content. Snippets can be generated with a quote, short statement, statistics, and more taken out from a source. Choose some of the interesting parts of your content to create snippets that can be shared on your page.

Prepare a presentation and publish it on the Slide Share

Millions of unique visitors come across the Slide Share every month. Convert your interesting contents from your website into a presentation to publish it on the Slide Share. You also have an option of creating a video presentation. Make sure you optimize the title and description of your presentation. The content on the Slide Share generally ranks higher on the search engine, and publishing your content on the Slide Share increases your exposure among thousands of people in your target market.

Play with themes

Your audiences will expect something each day and they are more likely to check out for some interesting posts. The combination of themes could be like Wednesday Wisdom, Motivation Monday, TGIF Friday, and so on. Make use of hashtags to further increase your reach.

According to the study, a smart use of hashtags can dramatically increase your reach.

Work with “Captions” and “Fill in the Blanks”

A random photo contest where you award the fans who posts the best photo on a specific topic, asking your fans to give the best caption for an interesting image or asking your fans to fill in the blanks can help in increasing the engagement. Do it every now and then to engage your audience.

What’s going on behind the scenes?
