The BEST Way to Share a Link on Social Media!

I'm sure that you all have come across the problem where you tried sharing a link on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook, and it gets absolutely NO interactions on it. This can be frustrating because how else are you going to share a link with your sphere of influence other than sending them a text message or email, which can be annoying to some people.

Well, Jim Ferguson, who is the proud team leader of the Dream Home Team of Exit Preferred Realty came up with a solution to this problem when we were trying to share the GoFundMe page to Don't Stop Believin, which you can click here if you want to share on your social media. So the idea that Jim came up with was to share the link in the comments of the post, rather than sharing the link, as a post.

The reason why social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook burry posts that have links in them is because they don't want their users to leave their platforms. Think about it, how do Instagram and Facebook make most of their money? You guessed it, advertisements! If someone were to click on a link that you shared, even if it's for a great cause such as Don't Stop Believin, they would be leaving the platform and looking at fewer advertisements, which means less money will be going in poor Zuckie-Pooh's pockets.

The last thing I'll say is that if you're not having much luck with sharing links in the comments, then another thing that you can do is to include it in your bio, and then tell your followers to go there. The downside to this is that it requires additional steps for people to get to your bio, and we all know how lazy people are nowadays.

I hope that this tip helps you all with getting more interactions on the links that you’re sharing on your social media. Tune in next week for another social media tip!
