How to Write Effective Copy on Social Media

July 5, 2021

Are you struggling to write effective copy on your social media posts? To engage your target audience, your copy needs to be compelling, clear, and concise. Paying attention to the small details when creating your social media posts can make all the difference in communicating with your audience.


Here are four steps to creating fantastic social media copy.


Get Personal

It is all too easy to forget that there is a person behind the screen. It’s important to remember the social aspect of social media, as people are looking to interact with each other informally! So it’s best to get personal and showcase your brand’s personality in every single post. You’ll want to connect with current and potential customers, and creating personalized content that showcases who you are is the way to go.


Develop a Brand Voice

Your brand voice is the baseline of how you will communicate with your audience. This should be standard throughout every single social media post, so make sure you determine how you want to come across before you even think of posting.


Create a Strong Headline

In our digital world, consumers have very short attention spans. You’ll want to grab their attention immediately, and the best way to do this is by creating a strong headline and a powerful introduction. These will be crucial to your copy; if you don’t grab their attention at first, then you’ve potentially lost a customer. 


Increase Engagement with Shareable Content and By Asking Questions

Every piece of content you produce should bring some kind of emotion. Write shareable content with quotes, funny pictures, exciting graphics, and ask questions in your posts. The more you can resonate with their feelings, the easier they will be to convert.
