The most common types of social media content you should try

Social media are full of different content. However, people never pay attention to it`s type because the rhythm is incredibly fast and you can`t react to all these videos, articles or images.

However, everyone who joins the social media wants to be active, get likes, comments, reposts, retweets and other stuff. People try different methods of posting, find perfect timing to add post to the page, take beautiful photos of themselves but…the result don`t come. Probably someone will say that we must wait for one or two days and then our activity will come. No, it`s not right.

Social media content that we generate becomes blah, and users start skipping our posts without any reaction. To avoid this problem, we should use different kinds of media content. In this article we will show you the most specific and nonstandard variants of content, which you can use in your accounts.

Podcasts

If you didn`t hear about podcasts, it`s not a big problem. In simple words, podcast is a sort of video content when a person sits in front of the camera and start talking about any topic that he/she prefers. Very often people are creating podcasts to discuss massive problems like racism, wars or unemployment.

There are no difficulties of working with podcasts because all you need to do is to open the video and start listening. You don`t need to watch the video from the first second to the end. You can cook dinner, write message to a colleague or even do your daily workout in the gym. Don`t worry, you will remember all key information from the podcast.

How can we post our podcast in the social media? Just put a link and write a short description with one or two hashtags. And, of course, put a static image from the video to attract people. Then just sit and get ready for action.

Live streams

When Facebook Live appears to the users, they start using it very active. Sometimes people enjoy sitting on the sofa and watching live broadcast from the conference, or an interview with famous person.

However, be careful with this sort of social media content. If you want to create a show and attract spectators, you should prepare the studio, rehearse your performance and be self-confident. Or, if you walk down the street from the café or from your job, you just need to find the right topic, say all the words loud enough and have good sense of humor. Seriously, if you will speak with a poker face, no one will watch t

your stream.

What social media should you choose? It`s up to you. We`ve said about Facebook Live, also you can try live broadcast on Instagram or even start streaming on Twitch. Choose something that is comfortable for you.

If you follow celebrities, sportsmen or bloggers, all you need to is to make a repost of their publication to your page. It could be retweet in Twitter or repost on Instagram or Facebook. You can even make a screenshot of this post and add it to your news feed.

What can you get from it? People will see your activity, pay attention to your subscriptions and, of course, to your account in the social media. You will get likes on your reposted publications and probably new subscribers. Go and try it now.
