Eli says interact with posts every day. Firstly, it forms a bond with people. Secondly, it creates stronger communities.
Why Do You Benefit From More People Interacting With Your Posts?
Have you heard? It's all about creating cool communities!!!

Some of Siteawe's clients just hand over their social media accounts for management. They want to step back. Clients want bigger and better. Other clients start from a blank sheet. For example, they have no connections on LinkedIn.
The objective is to create a cool community. People who interact with your posts and are showing interest in your field of activities. Eli stressed that you don't just want random people, but those who are in your target audience.
Know Your Who
You're a small business, so don't go gung-ho and target every breathing person. The trick is to be selective. Just target those people who you think might have an interest in your services. Eli asks clients questions to determine the right targeting plan.
Is your market Business to Business?
Are you targeting consumers?
How old are your clients typically?
Do they have a particular ethnicity?
What market do you have now?
And, what target market would you really like?
Another question asked is:
Are you aiming for sales?
Or, are you aiming for attention?
