Social Media Copywriting Tips For Better Engagement


Boost your engagement with these social media copywriting tips. 


Raise your hand if youve ever heard clarity is key to copywriting. ?‍♀️


Good news: Thats solid advice! But today, I invite you to expand on that concept.

Writing is a craft. And each piece of writing serves a different goal for the consumer.

The goal largely depends on the medium.

For example, songwriting is different than penning a personal essay or a speech; much in the same way social media copywriting differs from structuring website copy.

Yes, brand message clarity, avoiding confusing industry jargon, and knowing your target audience well all greatly contribute to copywriting clarity.

But effective social media copywriting takes clarity a step further. Its a writing style that not only allows your ideal reader to relate to your message but encourages them to engage with it as well.

It boils down to the ability to foster connection (quickly) through content that engages the reader.

How do you ask?

The reader engages when they have to do some of the work.

If you want your readers to feel drawn to your content, invite them to participate using your words. 

What is Engagement in social media ?

Truth be told:

Social media platforms have made engagement a top priority because it is considered the best way to keep users interested and coming back for more.


Social media engagement is a measurement of how people are interacting with your brand.

It can cover a broad range of actions across all social platforms—for example, liking or commenting on a post, sharing or saving a post, or replying to someone elses comment on your  page.


Why is engagement important on Instagram ?

Instagram engagement is the number one way to grow your social media presence.

This is because having an engaged audience not only helps you build a community online but also helps you get discovered by your dream clients faster.

Firstly, the more engagement you get on your post, the more likely the Instagram algorithm will push your post out to more people.

Essentially, engagement breeds engagement. When users like, comment, save, or share your Instagram posts, it shows they’re interested in what you are sharing.

And a smaller audience paying close attention will be far more likely to buy from you or work with you than a broad but disinterested audience.

Secondly, high Instagram engagement rates mean your content is resonating with your audience and that your content strategy is working, while low engagement suggests you need to reevaluate your strategy.
