In social media, there are certain topics and types of content and images that will always get the most engagement from audiences. And by “engagement”, we mean these are the things that people are more likely to click, share, comment about, like, repost and talk about off line.
There have been articles written up plenty about “what type of content is most likely to go viral“. For the most part, while there are plenty of haters on the internet, positive content is most likely to be shared. We at Techyaya conducted our own informal review of the posts we share and create that get the most positive feedback and love from our audiences and here are the top 7.
1. FOOD
Because people are just greedy and/or hungry at any given moment. These days, everybody and their mama considers themselves a “foodie”.
2. STORIES OF REDEMPTION
People love a come-back tale and that is because most folks love to root for the underdog. We cheer for them because it reminds us that we too can overcome odds and triumph.
3. GYM PICS
We get it. You eat healthy. You bench press your own body weight. You look good in a tight muscle shirt.
4. CELEBRITIES
Everyone is obsessed with the lifestyles of the rich and famous, whether we admit it or not. Any post about a celeb is click-bait gold!
5. INSPIRATIONAL QUOTES
There’s nothing like a random quote from a dead author to make you feel a little better about having to work in a cubicle and push paper all day.
6. UNLIKELY HEROES
Like the Redemption stories, people love to share tales about those who are rarely celebrated in the media shine, finally. This is true especially if one can relate to the underrepresented group or come from the same or similar background or circumstances.
7. FASHION
Every girl (and gal) loves a well dressed figure and aspire to look as good and thus OOTD (Outfit of the Day) pics, especially in Instagram, get mucho likes. Vanity is one of the seven deadly sins, after all. We can’t help ourselves but fawn over fab fashion.
