Get Social 5 Tips For Using Social Media To Grow Your Melaleuca Business

Create Buzz, Not Spam

Social media can be an effective way to build your contact list, set appointments, recognize others and share information. But it can also cause problems if it isn’t used professionally. This doesn’t mean what you share should be boring; remember, most people are on social media sites for fun. Using too much “sales” language can be off-putting, so find creative ways to generate interest and set the stage for a live conversation.

Post Succinct, Scroll-Stopping Content

Make the most of your wall posts by brainstorming conversation starters that generate interest and curiosity. Success with social media relies heavily on quickly catching a readers attention. Be careful not to get too wordy, keeping in mind that sometimes what you don’t say can be more powerful than what you do say.

Make statements that elicit curiosity

Generate conversation by posting interesting facts or asking questions about specific topics or issues related to health. People love to share, especially about themselves and their experiences.

Talk about the results you’ve seen in your health, ask sincere questions regarding changes you’d like to make in your life and invite people to help you find a solution to a problem you’re facing.
