What is the most important thing you look for while creating social media posts?

by
I prioritize engagement in social media posts and I want my posts to resonate and start significant conversations. I value quality interactions over quantity of likes or shares. That's why I try to make stuff that inspires, amuses, or informs. What do you prioritize while making social media posts? Please share your ideas and insights.

Consistency! This discussion is so fitting to the launch of our Creator Compass, because it has helped us to stay consistent and hold ourselves accountable, which is the number 1 thing. Engagement matters of course, but in the end of the day, you simply just need to outrun everyone. Stay active and keep going.

@jumicreative Thanks for sharing, Jumi!

Frankly, it's engagement. Deep, deep down, it matters.😅 But letting it affect your consistency or quality of your message...that! That is the bummer.

I prioritize making my audience feel like they're part of a community. I try to start conversations that spark genuine connections with my followers. And yes, I also sprinkle in some fun memes here and there😉

The most important aspect I consider when creating social media posts is value – the content should educate, inspire, entertain, or be helpful to my audience. Moreover, I strive for authenticity because people connect best with sincerity and genuine human experiences, making our virtual interactions more meaningful.

I try to be as authentic as possible. This also means to think: 'Oh, fu**! Did i really just send this?' after some posts. As well as some spelling mistakes. Especially in the beginning i had some anxiety about it. In the meanwhile i am totally fine with it. :D What about you?

@milappert I'm exactly the same! 😅

@ezgiyeginaltay no regrets! :D

Audience/Engagment I kind of agree with what you said, quality interactions will bring quantity of likes and shares anyway OR should do, obviosuly depending on your following.

Providing information and value to an audience. Some content hits. Others don’t. As long as the path is lined with value adds and helping the audience to solve a problem, engagement will come

@james_hallahan Thank you for sharing!
I feel most creators don’t prioritize their audience as much as they should and mostly focus on vanity metrics. I always try to adapt to what my clients like to see (likes, comments) but what always get the sales is staying true to the audience and putting them first by adding value.

I agree with you. I don't care about the number of subscribers if their engagement grows. The quality of the audience is more important than the quantity However, we still track the number of likes and subscriptions. It depends on the field, but it can be difficult for some people to express their opinion publicly

You nailed it, Ezgi! When it comes to crafting social media posts, my focus is all about sparking those awesome conversations and genuine connections. It's not about chasing likes or shares for me, but creating content that truly inspires, entertains, or educates.

@oguncsimsek I agree! Thank you, Öğünç!

Quality surely is the most important thing! Connection builds through that and can't be replaced by AIGC,I think

Engaging content is key! The most important thing I consider when creating social media posts is capturing attention and sparking meaningful interactions.

The main thing that I look for is "Campaign consistency" Like what are the common goals of all the posts you are pushing out. It can be 'sign-ups', 'website visits' or even creating awareness. Then make the content relevant and engaging based on that.
