Connect with influencers in your niche

You could be just starting with your social media initiatives, but these people or brand known as “influencers” have already established their followings. What you can do is connect with them and introduce how you can be of help to their followers. Create exclusive promos, provide discounts, share useful information, or give away free stuff that can be useful, so these influencers can “influence” their followers to connect with your brand.

Spread your posts throughout the day

Try posting to social media at different times and days to identify which specific schedule you get the most interaction.
