Intro
This chapter emphasizes the crucial role of social media in expanding a podcast's audience by selecting the right platforms based on target demographics. It explores various social media options and underscores the importance of strategic engagement to connect with potential listeners effectively.
Social media can be an effective way to grow your audience. There are many options, like Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, X, Instagram and others. How do you determine which platform to use?
THE RIGHT SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM
The first factor in your social media platform decision should the location of your clients. Be where your ideal client is.
Different social media platforms attract different people and are used for different purposes.
Facebook is like a journal. This is where you keep your memories and share the things that have happed to you.
X is similar to a conversation. The discussion on X is more real time.
LinkedIn is used for business connections. This is where business conversations happen.
Instagram is like a photo album. This is your story in pictures.
TikTok is still creating its identity. The short videos on TikTok are little snippets that can be used to connect with your potential clients if you create the correct content.
DIFFERENT MODES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS
Another important factor to consider when selecting your social media platform is the format of the content.
People like to consume content in different modes. Some like audio. Some like to consume video. Others prefer text.
What is the preferred content format of your ideal client?
TikTok is great for short video. Facebook is decent for all three. Audiograms on Facebook and Instagram are often overlooked.
LinkedIn is great for longer articles to demonstrate your expertise.
It is wise to provide your content in multiple formats. Different modes for different folks.
VALUE OF YOUR CONTENT
Whichever mode and platform you choose, be sure to provide value.
Valuable content is content that fulfills a need. That could be education, entertainment, or simply stirring emotion.
Your content on social media can't just sell. It will be quickly ignored.
Provide great content and get people back to your show to build those relationships.
