Our #1 Social Media Secret - USE THIS!

The higher your engagement on social media - the higher your traffic, conversions, sales, etc.

That’s just a fact.

Now, if only getting “higher engagement” was as simple as that


There are so many different “hacks” and strategies out there for boosting social media engagement. But a lot of what we come across online is overly complicated and really time consuming.

That’s why we’re sharing this


Crazy simple secret we use ourselves EVERY SINGLE DAY.

It all comes down to giving the social media algorithms what they want!

Social media platforms are all about interaction, so they'll reward posts that get more engagement.

When you're promoting an event or a new product, you can work the algorithm by tagging your buyers on social media posts. If you’re not sure who buyers are - you can tag people who are most active on your social accounts.

This can massively increase the reach of your posts!

The people you tag get notified, and then they’ll start liking, commenting, and sharing the post. Because of that, your posts start popping up on their friends’ newsfeeds, massively increasing its reach.

It also gives us A LOT of social proof. People started to think, "Wow, everyone's engaging with this brand."

That creates a snowball effect that drives even more engagement.

Tagging your buyers, attendees, sign ups, or whatever’s appropriate is a great way to get your posts more visibility and make your offers even more appealing.
