Your Business needs Social Proof Online and this is how to get it.
Its already past the times where your business online needs just like and follows.
Now your brand needs social proof, it needs influence, it needs to be able to cause an effect on other people.
This is what makes people read a post, watch a video, buy a product, opt-in for service, etc.

Follow these steps to improve your social proof online.

1. Use Images, Photos, and Infographics
Images help to retain so much information than mere text. So as a business, you will want to imprint your services and products in the mind of your customers.

2. Testimonials & Reviews
People don't know you, so it is hard for them to give you their hard-earned money. As a business-driven with sales in mind, you want to gain the trust of people. Ask your existing customers to write you a review or testimonial. That's your way out.

3. Get Engagement
When you put out something there and no one interacts with it, what it simply means is that you are not relevant.
As a business, encourage interaction either by asking questions, doing surveys, giving out coupons etc....the list is endless. Just find out what works for your brand.

4. Social Shares
Content with a lot of social shares gives a perceived sense of value and quality.
Put out content that encourages sharing. This can help both your SEO and brand as well.
