Hello,
I have struggled for years with trying to get a decent amount of people to like my photography Facebook page for example. I've been thinking about creating an Instagram too. I am looking for some tips on how to get people to follow/like my social media accounts. I am resuming freelance work and would really like to get my name out there. I've created a Shootproof and eventually I want to buy domain and be able to keep the membership via photography gigs. On Facebook, I only have 164 likes and most of them are all people I know or have known. They probably are not people that are going to hire me, but who knows?
I have tried running contests throughout the years. I have one going right now. It's just to win an 8x10 print of mine. Problem is: very few people are liking or sharing the post. I know I can't control people, but maybe I'm not making it enticing enough or something? They could pick any print they want from my website. So I'm not sure how to get them engaged? I know they like my work because I get comments and all that I do a good job and I've had people hire me before, so what gives?
Just a tad frustrated I suppose. Any advice?
Thanks!
