Social Media networks are ever popping up and forever changing, which seems on a daily basis. How do you keep up? How do you know what you should be focusing on to create the most visibility?

 Below are 7 tips to capture your audiences attention:

 

1) Show your Human Side.  To often, people display the perfect side of life and never show what’s behind the curtain. Your following will actually fall in love with you more if you show you are just like them. You are real.

2) Keep it Fresh. If you are taking pictures of your meals, crafts, or anything that you are focusing on to grab their attention, make it look clean and fresh! Your food should be dressed up and pretty! Set the scene.

3) Make it Memorable. Create the scene in your pictures to catch someone’s eye or to keep it memorable.

4) Beware of the Shadow. Take multiple pictures of the same object from different directions. The light and positioning can make the picture speak a thousand words.

5) Use Body Flattering Techniques. Practice take selfless as well as having someone else or a tripod take your pictures from different angles and positions. Find out your best positioning for the best representation of how you want to look.  Google techniques for positioning to understand how to best pose for the camera.

6) Cropping. Headshots should be just that, a bust up headshot. Crop to a square for best display on the social media platform. Position the subject in the photo so it is what you notice, not the background.  Keep the background basics and less distracting. 

7) Always keep Your Audience in Mind.  What does your following really like to know from you? Why are they paying attention to you? Be sure to deliver that content.
