Do I need to be funny to get an audience on social media......honestly, does it help, of course it does. We all remember jokes and funny people we knew or enjoy watching, however, on social media to succeed in your niche, is it essential, of course it's not. We can't all be the next Peter Kaye or Billy Connolly but we can be the next best us, and we can talk with passion on the subject matters we're a voice of authority in. So on national joke day, do you need to be funny, no, look at me I'm not and I get on OK.

Did you know it's national asteroid day? 100's if not 1000's of asteroids miss and hit the earth every single year.....and this got me thinking about your social media.

In these incredibly difficult times we could all do with a hug right. Well, in America today is national hugging day, that said common sense obviously prevails and nobody is hugging anyone I hope. However, don't forget your audience are also your family and friends, and they may also need someone to reach out to them. Remember that important word from the channels your use......SOCIAL.....Start being social on social media and reach out to your audience and see how they're getting on, is it a struggle right now, is it a breeze, if you don't ask you won't know.

IS YOUR AUDIENCE ENGAGED? Weekends are the perfect time for asking your followers questions and try to get them to interact with you.  Start integrating simple questions into your captions. Open ended questions usually encourage followers to get a bit more involved, but questions can be short, or even a poll. You may get no answers at first but keep at it (maybe get some employees to answer to get the ball rolling). Also, don’t forget the power of instagram stories, maybe run polls, or quizzes, make sure it’s fun and something to keep your tribe engaged.

We all know when we watch a cat video it probably already has about 80 million views, but, why does animal content work so well on social media....well, it's all down to chemicals, so let's have a chat about them Scientists used to think dopamine was a pleasure chemical in the brain, but now we know what it actually creates is want. Dopamine causes us to seek, desire, and search. Then there’s oxytocin, sometimes referred to as “the cuddle chemical” because it’s released when you kiss or hug. Or … tweet. In 10 minutes of social media time, oxytocin levels can rise as much as 13%—a hormonal spike equivalent to some people on their wedding day.

Todays daily live content was all about blogs.....Blogging for me is the doorway to content. You've already gone through the pain of planning and knowing your subject matters for each week, this is just putting that in practise.

When it comes to social media for some reason we live in an age of instant gratification. If we don't get 100 likes or more on a post within the first 30 minutes of a piece going up it's failed and more often than not, some people will even delete their content. There's no element of patience in trying to grow and audience who cares, but this is one of the most important elements of growing an audience, brand and business on social media.

I don't think I can say this often enough, social media doesn't work a five day week. So just because it's saturday....get creating. That means you need to start talking to your audience and potential audience on a weekend too.
