{365 Days of Social Media} Day 50: Entertain

To have a strong presence in social media, you not only need to educate and inform your audience, but it helps to entertain them as well. By this, I don’t mean you need to be overly silly, but simply show more personality. Now that you’ve reeled them in with your educational and informative posts, help them feel more connected to you with posts that entertain.

10 Ideas to Entertain Your Social Media Audience
* Post photos of fun at work or even the staff huddled up working on the next top secret project.
* Share interesting/funny industry news articles.
* Has someone famous worn your product or become a super fan of your business? Share the news or better yet, a photo of said celebrity using your service or product.
* Profile the people behind the business.
* Is your office full of music lovers? Share the office playlist.
* Create a blog series that shows the not-so-serious side of your business: fashionable offices can do What We Wore Wednesday, beverage-related businesses can do Thirsty Thursday, and any business can participate in Wordless Wednesday or Photo Friday.
* Post trivia questions related to your industry.
* Post teaser photos of upcoming new products.
* Share photos of the office environment, focusing on details that help show your brand’s personality.
* Create a weekly or monthly vlog to build your YouTube audience.
