With social media, you've got the ability to introduce your brand to people all over the world for free! That's pretty cool when you think about it.

Now those who connect with you are most likely doing so because they find something about your brand that they identify with. But once they connect with you, ball is now in your court to begin to build a relationship, develop that trust and get them to feel like they really know and like you. When that happens, they'll not only become your customer but could likely bring you referrals and advocate for your business.

This is where developing engaging conversations with your fans and followers comes into play with your social media strategy.

Of course, the number one frustration I hear quite often from folks is “I dont know what to post to get people talking”.

So I've decided to share 52 social media topics to spark that conversation about your brand:

  1. Share a statistic about your industry
  2. Share your new years resolution
  3. Post a testimonial or thank you note you’d received (get permission from the client)
  4. Recognize a local business you love
  5. Tell your followers what you learned today
  6. Share a favorite inspirational quote
  7. Share your favorite magazine (link to their twitter handle or fan page)
  8. Mention a favorite charity (link to their twitter handle or fan page)
