You might have started promoting your Herbalife business on Instagram.
This social media platform is a great place to tell your Herbalife stories to your audience. But are your posts viewed by your followers?
I want to share some useful tips you can use to promote your Herbalife business online. By the end of this post, I hope you will be motivated to use Instagram to reach a larger audience. First, let’s have common ground about the Instagram feed algorithm.
Understanding the Instagram Feed Algorithm
You are doing great with your Instagram photos, stories, and reels. But here is the thing: every post you make needs to be relevant to Instagram users.
Instagram algorithm revolves around certain factors that showcase posts that likely hook people to react. But what does it even mean?
Here are the important factors in the Instagram feed algorithm.
Time
Consider what time your audience is online and active on the Instagram platform.
When discussing the Herbalife context, uploading your content during the peak times when people seek health information is a great idea.
There are certain times that you could try. For instance, post something in the morning when your audiences plan their day. Or perhaps you could post in the evening during the meal prep. Posting at the right time will easily improve your business’s online visibility.
Likes
Encouraging your followers to smash the likes button or double-tap your posts is legal. But you need to make sure that your content is worth their double-tapping.
Focus on the best content that shows the perks of Herbalife products, interesting stories, or even inspiring transformation. Use a free graphic design software like Canva to help you create such engaging visuals.
Comments
The comments section is one of the important driving factors in the Instagram feed algorithm. It is a social proof component that shows and values the interactions between you and your audience.
You could start a conversation by asking questions or offering opinions related to your post. You can also reply to every relevant comment from your followers.
For example, post a photo of a Herbalife tea and ask your followers to share their favorite flavor in the comments section.
Saves
Instagram also has a saves button feature, which allows users to save a particular post for future use.
This opportunity allows you to post useful content about Herbalife that is worth saving. For instance, upload an infographic about incorporating Herbalife products into your workout routine. Anyone who needs information about it will save your post for future reference.
Profile Views
The more people see your profile, the higher your engagement rate will be. For this reason, it is a great idea to tweak your profile and make it more attractive so that people are willing to explore what you present.
Make sure that your Instagram profile has a bio that proclaims you as a Herbalife coach or distributor. If you have a website, put the link to your profile. You could also add your contact information.
Using Herbalife Context to Boost Engagement
Likes and comments are important social proof. But in the long run, the Herbalife journey is about building a strong community filled with like-minded people interested in health and wellness. That’s why all of your posts must be relevant to them.
The best way to nourish a strong community is to give Herbalife context in almost every post you make on Instagram. There is always an interesting story to tell your audience. Share your success story. If you are still not there yet, you could share stories of success from other Herbalife customers. Ask for permission to put their testimonials on your Instagram account.
Besides posting about Herbalife products, try mixing things up with different types of content, such as lists (top 5, top 10, etc.), educational content, teasers, your daily lifestyle, AMA sessions, and more.
Understanding Your Audience’s Behavior
Although Instagram officials have not disclosed any information about this factor, some experts believe that Instagram tracks what your followers do. This can be anything from what your audience likes to how often they comment on your Instagram posts, how they use the search feature to find what they are searching for, and so on.
Instagram will ensure that your audience sees the kind of content they are interested in.
With this knowledge in mind, you may want to craft a content plan that aligns with your audience’s needs and preferences. Think about their demographic and why they want to stay updated through your Instagram posts.
In the Herbalife context, you will want to create helpful content that links to their interests, such as wellness, healthiness, financial freedom, weight management, and fitness.
Watch How They Engage
You won’t recognize your audience in the first dozen of your posts. It will take another dozen posts to determine how your followers engage with you.
Consider seeing and analyzing what kinds of content your audience likes the most. Well, it can be before-and-after photos, a day in my life, healthy recipes, or anything related to Herbalife. Thankfully, Instagram has supportive tools to help you get demographic information about your audience.
Use Instagram Insights to see important variables like the number of viewers of your posts, likes, comments, and posts that they share.
The Quality Quotient
Your content shouldn’t only be visually appealing and contribute positively to the community.
After making a few posts on your Instagram, reflect on the quality. It doesn’t hurt to ask yourself whether your content can easily grab your audience’s attention. Is it engaging and helpful?
From my point of view, content about Herbalife must be engaging and helpful. If it is engaging but not helpful, your followers will probably move to another Instagram profile that provides helpful information. Your content might easily confuse your audience if it is helpful but not engaging. And they will also move to another profile that offers more entertaining content. So, when we talk about quality, I think good content should be informative while wrapped in such an entertaining way.
Here are some tricks that I’d like to share.
Eye-catching Pics
Upload images that will catch your audience’s eye quickly. I think Herbalife products look cool, but you can amp it up by adding some elements. For instance, instead of just showcasing a Herbalife tea product, add cool mugs and other accessories around it to make an appealing scene.
Ultra Info Quality – Alpha Information
Your Herbalife posts should be more than catchy; they should also be very informative and distinct. They could be so distinct that no one else could create such helpful content. Share tips and facts about Herbalife nutrition.
It might be a bizarre idea. However, you could try to reach out to alpha sources of information in the health field. For instance, if you know a doctor, you could interview him. Let your audience know what they think about Herbalife products.
For another example, meet a professional trainer in your gym. Talk about Herbalife F1 Shake Mix. It will be even better if he/she is the user.
Having your Herbalife products vouched by alpha sources will grant you high trust and a good reputation. It will increase your Instagram engagement rates and hopefully convert your audience into sales.
Invite your audience to the discussion
Instagram’s algorithm looks for posts that engage users. The key here is to create posts that invite your followers to join the discussion. You could ask questions, hold a poll, blast a big announcement, and so on.
One working method is to have an AMA (ask me anything) session on Instagram Live. This is where your followers and other Instagram users can ask questions about your journey in Herbalife, product knowledge, health tips, and many other relevant topics.
Keep posting
The key to building a solid community is consistency. Make a plan and stick to it. Post regularly. If necessary, tell your followers your post schedule. Your consistent posting time will keep your followers interested in your series.
For instance, you could make a series about fitness challenges. Or, perhaps you can make a series about your fitness progress.
By focusing on quality and authenticity and talking with your Instagram followers, you’ll build a strong online presence and attract followers who love wellness and nutrition.
