Today, almost half of the world’s population has Internet access. In 2015, social media users exceeded 2 billion. This being said, there is an expansive audience out there ready to absorb the information you release into cyberspace. Feeling pretty powerful now, aren’t you? Not so fast. You first have to figure out how to make social media users see you and listen to you.
As Synergy Team Members, you have a compelling message to share. You want to share Synergy’s great opportunities every chance you get, so taking to social media is arguably the most cost efficient way to take your message to the masses. Whether you’re a Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr, LinkedIn, Instagram or Google+ user, there are tricks you should learn to get the best product possible out of your social media activity.
Here are a few general tips to help you maximize your social media accounts and drive your business.
Make a Schedule
While you don’t have to have every post scheduled to the hour, it’s good to have a general idea of what times are best for posting. For example, there probably isn’t a lot of traffic on social media on a Wednesday morning at 4:30 a.m., therefore, it’s not a good time to post.
As a standard, let’s use Facebook to measure good and bad social media practices because it’s the largest social media network by a landslide. According to the Huffington Post, the best time of day to post on Facebook is 1-3 p.m. with Thursday and Friday having the highest activity rate. Studies show that these times vary from one social media site to the next, so do your homework. It’s also best to avoid posting too often, which will cause your audience to hide your posts in order to avoid an overload of unwanted information on their feeds. Posting interesting content once per day will make sure your audience expects your posts and looks forward to them.
Post Meaningful Content
Generating intriguing content is crucial to an effective social media strategy. Ask yourself: Is this informative? Is this engaging? Is this relevant? You should answer “yes” to each of these questions. Your content should always be Synergy compliant. If you’re unsure about whether your social media content is compliant, please refer to Synergy’s “What Can I Say?” document.
Continuously review old posts to evaluate which of your posts are getting the most likes and comments. This will give you an idea of what content is drawing the most attention to your business. Some social media experts say to find the social media channel that is densely populated with your ideal customer and focus on making it succeed, rather than inconsistently dabbling in a myriad of channels.
Focus on Imagery
Have you ever noticed that people with an eye for good photography, who have also learned to take beautiful images themselves, receive a fair amount of traction in the social media world? Social media posts that include images or videos get 53% more likes and 104% more comments than posts without a visual centerpiece. Break up the monotony of your customer’s newsfeeds with an eye-catching image that relates to what you’re posting.
Now, before you go image hunting, put yourself in a photographer’s shoes. As you look at photos you’d like to post, consider how high the image resolution is and if the image is well lit. Even slightly dark or fuzzy photos will be passed over as if they didn’t exist. Interesting, aesthetically pleasing photos will give your posts the color and depth they need to be recognized.
Now, you have homework. There are thousands of studies and useful tips from social media experts out there that you can use to your advantage as you commit to become more business savvy on social media. Be sure to follow Synergy Worldwide on Facebook and Instagram for ready-to-share content and ideas.
Less than one week remains until the SLMsmart 90-day Challenge begins! People are signing up every day and we couldn’t be more excited to get started on February 1. Watch the video to learn why you should join this transformation challenge and what you can expect as a participant. And remember, cash prizes go to the Top 3 most impressive transformations.
In order to apply necessary upgrades to Synergy WorldWide’s network, we will be temporarily disabling the network’s digital resources on Saturday, February 6, 2016, at 8 p.m. (MST) for up to 9 hours.
All of Synergy’s digital resources are housed on this network, including Synergy WorldWide’s corporate website and Pulse. This means that product orders and enrollments cannot be submitted during this time period.
Please note this upcoming network upgrade so that you can process urgent orders and enrollments before the network is made unavailable.
Every new day provides an opportunity to make better, healthier decisions and work toward your target weight. Perhaps it has been a while since you’ve seen the number you’ve wanted to see on the scale. Maybe you were in your early 20s the last time you felt strong and fit. Whatever your case may be, there is no better day than today to begin transforming into the ideal you. Do it for your health and do it for yourself. Synergy is eager to help. For this reason, we invite you to join the SLMsmart 90-Day Challenge, and take advantage of a variety of resources that will help you to achieve your goals.
In addition to sculpting the body you want to see in the mirror, weight loss isn’t all about physical appearance. It’s about becoming healthy from the inside out. By coming closer to your target weight, you will experience a number of health benefits that will have an invaluable impact on your life.
Sleep like a baby
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine discovered that shaving off excess weight can help you sleep better. Some people with excess weight develop obstructive sleep apnea, which occurs when the airway is blocked while sleeping. Airway blockages often results in frequent awakenings during the night. These disruptions during sleep cycles make for groggy mornings and lower energy throughout the day.
Surge energy levels
On your journey to lose weight, healthy habits need to come into play. These habits include eating nutrition-dense foods and exercising regularly. While consuming sugar can make you feel sluggish, fruits, vegetables, and lean meats are full of nutrition that boost energy levels. Exercising has the same effect. While you may believe that exercising will make you tired, it actually does the opposite by rising to the challenge you’ve presented and creating more energy.
Ease joint pressure and pain
A study published by Dr. Stephen Messier showed that losing 1 lb. can take four pounds of pressure away from a knee joint. He then suggested that losing 10 lbs. relieves 48,000 lbs. of pressure from each mile walked. Considering this theory, consider how much pressure we apply to our bodies over the course of a lifetime. It’s no wonder that those carrying around extra weight are more likely to experience joint pain.
Heighten immunity
The immune system is made up of a variety of cells that protect the body from outside invaders. All of these cells need to exist in a perfect balance to best protect the body. However, poor health will throw off this balance, and excess body fat plays a role in tipping that scale. Excess weight promotes the production of inflammatory molecules that disrupt the immune system, but losing unneeded weight will decrease the production exponentially.
Reduced health risks
The health risks of being overweight or obese are seemingly endless—high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, cancer, fatty liver disease, kidney disease, and so on. Do yourself and your future the favor of reducing these risks as much as possible. Give yourself the upper hand and live with the freedom of knowing you have a healthy body by working toward your target weight today.
The SLMsmart 90-day Challenge is intended to not only help you reach your target weight, but establish a reasonable lifestyle that makes it easier for you to maintain your ideal figure.
