Common mistakes upcoming Business owners make and overlook overlook which makes thier brand look unproffesional.

When you want to thank someone on the comments section from your business page, use WE not I beause it is always assumed that your brand is already established not a one man business ( dont make the mistake of giving an impression that you as the business owner is the one handling the page)

Please DO NOT POST PERSONAL PICTURES ON YOUR BUSINESS PAGE except it is one that has you on a flier as a speaker or something credible... Or on your birthday which you must do the post as though it is from your employees.

Follow the right brands, page and individuals, People might want to check the people your business page follows... It sends a message to them, trust me.

Give your self post target, post atleast 4 different posts a day, when your page is active, it gains and builds up engagement. (If your page is inactive, People may not follow your page, be vigilant)

GROW YOUR FOLLOWERS! It is okay to make your page look rich by buying followers but my dear when you don't have up to 500 posts there is no need buying up to 10,000 followers, try to be minimal, look at the point your page has gotten to before thinking of buying followers. You can even grow your followers gradually by posting regularly.

Write less in bio! Coco chanel will say "less is more", it is always better when the information on your bio is not too much, (especially if you have a website on the bio) I am sure you want to make people eager to visit your website and know more about you.

Acknowledge National Holidays! and always be interested in the world around you.

During holidays and happenings, do customised posts that sends a message that you care and belong somewhere in the world.

Respond to DMs and Inquiries! In as much as you want to be professional or maybe adopting the "luxury brand" approach, it will be kind if you always respond to messages that is being directed to you, no matter how stupid they may be.... Prospective clients do note these little things about you.

Use clear images only! . people should find your page catchy! Make them fall in love with the overview... It increases followership and leaves a good mark.

I hope you apply all these points and become consistent in them and watch your brand/business grow.

Thanks for taking out time to read my post.

Great post! although i'm against purchasing followers as most people these days can tell when an account has fake followers and can make you look untrustworthy! like you said posting regularly is the way to go
