Creativity and presentation is the best way to capture the attention of a person. Same goes with social media. You need to give your best to customize your post/status to grab the attention of a user. Remember, there are millions of posts out there in social media, and you need yours to stand out.
On Facebook
– Invest on content promotion on your best content for guaranteed visibility.
– Always use catchy and high-quality images on your posts. Make sure that your images is relevant to your post and always mention the source if you use others people’s pictures to give credit to the owner.
– Write a catchy headline that converts. A good headline attracts people while a bad one repels potential readers.
On Twitter
– If you want people to get involved with a topic/communication a good way is tagging them by using the @username symbol. You can also tag owners of content/images you shared to give them credit.
– Images grab user’s attention. Be careful not to post images too often as this will greatly decrease the effect of posts without images on your feed.
– Build followers and increase the conversation aspect of your tweets by thanking people who shared your content.
On Google+
– You can also use previous mentioned techniques like tagging people to notify them and get them involved in the discussion.
– Make your content stand out by using fonts. It’s best practice to place bold characters on statements that you want to emphasize.
– You can provide a brief introduction or summary on a post you want to share to give it importance.
