Every day we’re being hit by different types of marketing. TV ads, billboards, leaflets, Google searches, emails and, of course, social media posts.
As such, as marketers of a business, our subconscious absorbs these different types of marketing. Then, when we go to create our own, our brain naturally suggests creating what is very similar to everyone else. Because that is sat there in our subconscious.
I do it myself. I get the idea for a blog post or social media post. And sometimes I realise it’s because I’ve seen a similar one recently.
Our subconscious can be a bit of a pain in the bum!! It stops us breaking free creatively, because our brain is getting filled with the ‘norm’.
If our content replicates that of others, we just become part of the noise. We’re not standing out in any way. Creative posts stand out, same old same old don’t!
Instead, challenge yourself to think about what other businesses in your industry are NOT doing!
Are they NOT creating video? Are they NOT sharing selfies? Are they NOT going live? Are they NOT raising discussions with their posts?
This will definitely help you be seen on social media. And what’s the point of posting if you’re not going to be seen?
If you are stuck with how to be different on social media, you can watch the recording of a recent webinar I did. Click here to access the ‘Be Different On Social Media’ webinar recording!
