Tips to get the most from these micro holidays on Social Media

1. Prompt Your Social Media Topics

 

Micro holidays can go beyond prompting a theme for a single day. You can use these special themes to prompt your topics all month long!
Here are some ideas:
1. Choose one of your favorite micro holiday themes and feature it all month long by sharing tips, prompts and insights. For instance, if you choose "National Pasta Month" you can share your favorite pasta brands, pasta alternatives, sauce recipes, and more.
2. Feature a different micro holiday theme each week. For instance, week 1 could be coffee week where you share healthful insights, your favorite bulletproof coffee recipe, a coffee quote and more.
3. Focus on a monthly theme (i.e. Emotional Wellness Month), and each day make sure your post somehow relates to that umbrella topic. For instance "if you have a tendency to eat comfort foods such as pasta when you're feeling blue, try these healthful alternatives..."

PRO TIP: Sprinkling quotes into your feed throughout the month makes for easy posting, helps create a beautiful, spacious gram, and boosts engagement.

2. Leverage With Hashtags

As with all your posts, using hashtags related to your micro holiday posts will help you get in front of more people who are searching for the type of content you're posting.
Just a reminder, you can use 30 hashtags in each of your posts.
The more you use, the better chance you have of being discovered by your dream clients.
I've included a theme-specific hashtag for each micro holiday on the list to make it easy for you to copy and paste!

PRO TIP: It doesn't matter if you post your hashtags inside your caption, or in the comments below as long as you post them immediately when publishing your post.

3. Reach A Bigger Audience With Instagram Stories

Instagram Stories offer a great way to get in front of more people, engage them and lure them back to your feed.
Post one of our Instagram Stories templates inside the Soulfully Social membership and try using one of the many savvy and fun IG Stories features, like a poll or question to engage your audience.
For instance, you could use the poll feature to ask your audience who prefers traditional wheat pasta to Zoodles.
Or use the questions feature to ask a simple, quick-answer question, like "What's your fave GF pasta alternative?"
