What do babies, puppies and Kylie Jenner have in common?… You can be sure that if you post an image of any one of these that it is sure to get a ton of engagement!
To start, we want to remind you that engagement is not about getting more ‘likes’. Likes do not prove that something is good, helpful or even useful.
In fact we now live in a world that popularity is perceived as being good.
What we are always trying to communicate is how important it is to provide great content for your followers. Not simply pretty photos.
