Power Tip: photos engage and attract new fans
▪ “A picture is worth a thousand words” – especially with a global fan base (many do not read English)
▪ Photo feels more authentic▪ Photos are more “viral” – tend to
attract more likes and comments, which spreads out to more friends of fans – attracting new fans.
▪ E.g., Vin Diesel almost always includes a photo with each post and has 7.4 million fans currently
