This article will go over key things to look for and following when looking for ways on how to improve your simulation's Paid Posts.
How to improve your Paid Posts
Want to boost your results in the Social Media Simternship? That's the mindset of a successful marketer! Seeking answers is the best way to improve your campaigns and start seeing bigger wins in the simulation.
Don't skip the Results Review after each Paid Social Post Round! This data is your most valuable asset for continuous improvement. Use it to understand why some posts crush it and why others need refinement. Pay special attention to the performance of your audience selections, the promoted product, and your channel choices.
Carefully review your feedback!
Your feedback in the simulation will point you in the right direction of where you can make changes. Maybe your image isn't perfectly aligned with the product you picked, or maybe the time you picked for your social media isn't the best. These small changes can make a big impact on the overall success of your posts.
Make sure to use ALL of your resources and documents. These documents are key to your success in the simulation.
Make sure to focus on the following:
- Awareness
- Generate interest in a product or service
- Consideration
- Use video views, messaging, lead collection, or engagements on posts to get people thinking about Buhi and wanting more information
- Conversions
- Encourage people to purchase products through sales and other offers that increase traffic to the website
| Factor | Simple Question to Ask Yourself | What it Means |
| 🎯 Who You Target (Demographics) | Are you showing your post to the right audience? | This is about selecting the age, gender, and interests of the people who see your post. Crucially, your post's image and caption must match the audience you choose. |
| 🖼️ What You Create (Post Content) | Is your message engaging and relevant to your audience? | Even with the perfect audience, your actual post needs to be good! Your image must grab their attention, your caption must connect, and your Call to Action (CTA) (like "Shop Now") must be compelling. |
| 📱 Where You Post (Channel Selection) | Is your audience actually using this social media channel? | Different people use different platforms. If your target audience spends all their time on Channel A, but you post on Channel B, they'll never see it! Use the Buhi Social Media Audit to find the right spot. |
| ✅ Which Objective You Choose (Campaign Goal) | What do I want this post to achieve? | This tells the platform how to deliver your post. Want people to buy something? Choose a Conversions goal. Just want lots of people to see the brand name? Choose Impressions. The right goal helps the platform optimize delivery, but it won't fix a bad audience or boring content! |
Additional Tips
Review Your Data: Always check your Market Data and Persona Profiles before you start to ensure a perfect audience fit.
Focus Your Hashtags: Use 3 to 5 relevant hashtags to connect with your target audience's interests, but don't overpack your posts.
Use a Strong CTA: Every post needs a clear Call to Action. Use active words like Try, Get, or Start.
Avoid "Ad Speak": Skip generic phrases like "Click Here," which can sound too pushy or "advertisy."
Check the Basics: Proofread carefully! Always ensure you have proper grammar and spelling to maintain professionalism.
