Change in the Facebook algorithm is inevitable. It seems that changes happen more frequently, and usually just as you’ve gotten caught up with the latest standards, right? So, how can you know what is working right now?
The great thing is that it’s easy to test content. If you create a post that doesn’t get any clicks or engagement, you’ll know right away that is isn’t effective and probably shouldn’t be replicated.
3. USING VISUAL CONTENT ON INSTAGRAM
Instagram is all about the visual element of marketing. If your Instagram aesthetic isn’t on point, you’re not going to get noticed. this doesn’t mean you have to pay a photographer for a photoshoot, or spend loads of money designing assets. Well thought out imagery that will engage your audience can be shot on an iPhone or Android
4. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF INSTAGRAM REELS
Reels open Instagram up to a surge of interest, new users, and new business. Instagram Reels
allows users to create engaging, fun, and short videos using a catalog of music and user- generated Reels media on Instagram. Reels are 15-second, multi-clip videos that can have sound, effects, and music added to them.
4. INFLUENCER MARKETING
Using influencers can also be a big deal for brands.
That’s why influencer marketing is at the top of your list if you want to make sure your money is well invested. Creating content in partnership with influencers that have everything to do with your brand is a great way to make sure your leads convert.
That’s because influencer marketing borrows the trust built by individuals in order to make your brand shine.
5. UTILISING PAID MEDIA

ad space. Facebook allows your creativity to flow by permitting you to showcase up to ten products within one ad, each with its own link. You can also add up to 10 videos in a carousel format. This will allow you to tell a better story, showcase a larger range of products or display a more detailed description of your products.

pay-per-click (PPC), where you (the advertiser) pays per click or per impression (CPM) on an ad.Google Ads allows you to create and share well-timed ads (via both mobile and desktop) among your target audience.
