Do you know the best way to share a social media post?
Updated by Brady Stroud [SSW] 1 year ago. See history
When sharing a post on social media, the ultimate goal is for your planned content to reach more people.
Having said that, the best way to share a post on your socials is by including the original content by resharing it from the source, whether it's a business or personal profile. This process will:
- Amplify the voice of the original author
- Help your social media engagement when you share insightful content with your audience
- Increase brand awareness of the profile you are resharing from
Remember to:
- Include thoughts or your opinion on the content shared - use relevant and related keywords!
- Don't forget to include a few hashtags #️⃣
Tip: On LinkedIn, you can leave a comment on a post and reshare a post using that same comment.

❌ Figure: Bad example – No way for the author to engage with the post as it looks like a post from its own, plus you can’t see the real metrics for your own post as it gets combined with the author’s data

✅ Figure: Good example - Make sure you include your thoughts to personalize your content and boost your post! 🚀
