Do This ONE Thing For a More Powerful Social Media Share

Be authentic and add your meaningful comment when you share on Social Media.

That’s right. I am only going to share ONE thing to help you share more powerfully on Social Media.

1. Add a personalized comment to your share! That’s it. Simple. All she wrote.

Wait, what? You want to know why?

Let me set up the Why with a story…

I have a Facebook friend who shares a LOT of content from other people. It’s easy to hit the share button, and I know his heart is in the right place, but after a while, his shares become more noise. Because there is nothing personal about the share.

Taking the time to add something, and something personal at that, lets us know that the sharer not only truly values the content but the originator of the content AND the viewer of that content too. Namely, you and me.

It’s really what drives word of mouth advertising. A television commercial, TV program, blog post or otherwise may or may not reach me on an emotional level, but if a friend of mine says, “Hey, Michele Jennae, you really need to watch this and here’s why…”, I am much more inclined to not only view it, but to connect with it on the emotional or intellectual level that my friend suggested.

So when you hit Share on Facebook, use that middle option and add something personal about it. And on Twitter, Retweet with comment if possible!

Trust me! More people than you know will appreciate it, and just for that, your social status will rise.
