The 5 – Element Formula of How to Sell on Social Media

Demonstrate common human values

  • Make posts that show empathy.
  • Provide inspiration and declare your position about common issues.
  • Make emotional, supportive, encouraging posts.
 

Present an offer Present an introduction video about yourself

  • People tend to believe more in what they see, that’s why a video is a powerful tool, do not ignore this.
  • Record 45-60 second introduction video with open space or nature background where you introduce yourself.
  • Describe what solution you bring to the market, and the methods you use.
 

Prove yourself as an expert

  • Create a series of posts on How -To.
  • State an issue, give a solution, and break the solution down into single actionable steps.
  • Provide downloadable checklists and other useful material.
  • Be fully open about the solution and crystal clear about how to achieve it.

 

Frequency and consistency

  • Make at least 4 posts a week, do not try to come up with the highest quality of posts, it will be more than enough if your posts are reasonably interesting, original, and personal.
  • To make it fresh and less boring for you and the audience diversify topics and types of posts, alternate how-to, emotional, encouraging, written, and video posts.
  • To establish your presence, and authority create depth of content keep posting 4 times a week at least for 8-10 weeks in a row.
 

Present an offer

  • Presenting an offer doesn’t necessarily mean a paid offer.
  • Make a free offer, for example, “Let me know if you would like me to send you 5 cheat sheets that will cover the end-to-end process of how to create and manage video posts across social media platforms”.
  • After offering several free offers and analyzing audience responses you will get an indication if that’s time to start selling.
