How do you get more followers on your social media channels?

What is the best way to get people to start following a business?

The best way to do it is to ask. This kind of gets into the category, I'm going to talk about reviews a little bit. Wasn't the highest on our agenda, but in particular for local business, your reviews are going to be super important. The number one way to get more reviews? Ask. The number one way to get more followers? Ask. We have to be asking.

So, what are the ways that we can ask? Can we send an email and ask people to follow us? Can we hand them a piece of paper that says, please follow us on these platforms? Can we send them a text message that says, follow us? The best way to do it is to keep asking, to ask our best customers, our best clients, to follow us on the social channels and do that.

You can also, Facebook as an example, if you want to get more followers on your Facebook page, you can run an ad campaign that's specifically focused on getting more followers to the page. It's one way to do it. Maybe not the best, but it is a way to do it. And then I kind of mentioned how you can organically use your Facebook page. That's a great way to get more followers. The more your page is engaged socially in your community, the more followers you're going to get. People are going to click that like button and follow your page. But you got to come up with lots of different ways to ask people to follow you.
