Wondering which will work best for your business? Here are 3 steps to test content to determine what people want to learn from you:
Think of 4-5 topics your audience might be interested in
Turn them into 4-5 Face book and Instagram posts
Of those posts, evaluate which ones got the most engagement, likes, and questions
The only way to know if you're creating a freebie your audience actually WANTS is to test the content, create a freebie around the most popular post, rinse and repeat.
If you follow these steps, we promise your audience will be so excited about what you have to share.
