The best way to represent your home business when it comes to Partying online is to make the use of visuals!

‍

This is where sharing pictures, images, and graphics come to play in your Party posts.

‍

Your guests want to see your products and how to use them. Think about what makes you special as their consultant. Give them some eye-candy that represents who you are and what you can offer.

‍

In this article, we’re going to show you what we mean. So let’s dive in!

Why you want to use Unique Content

Remember, Facebook likes to highlight and show the most popular posts in everyone’s feeds –  the stuff that goes viral.

‍

Such as when original images are shared (when you click the “Share” button on a post) by tons of people.

But this is very different from identical images getting posted by tons of people.

‍

For example, a beautiful picture from your company might be posted by tons of consultants to their thousands of accounts, especially within a short period of time.

Facebook’s spam detection algorithms might flag this image as being overused and not necessarily popular, and so it gets pushed down the feeds with less visibility or even blocked.

‍

This can also happen with website or video links and posts with exact wording.

‍

There’s a strategy for posting unique images nobody else has posted. We recommend using pictures you have taken or graphics you have created yourself.

Plus, creating your own images gives you the flexibility to customize them with your personality and builds your unique brand, such as through your Facebook Business Page.

Tips for Creating Unique Images

At the beginning of this post, you may remember how I mentioned the importance of using unique images.
Remember, using unique images helps you avoid Facebook’s spam filters.

Here are 9 tips for creating unique images:

• The best option is to take your own pictures of your own products. Then edit it with your name or website or watermark/logo.
  ‍
• Create a space in your home or office with good natural lighting where you can easily stage your new products any time, to take photos.
  ‍
• Use corporate images as a guide to take your own pictures. Get creative with your own products, but use a similar format and ideas.
  ‍
• Take selfies with your favorite products!
  ‍
• Create real-life lifestyle shots, like what products you pack for a road trip, what you’re using this Saturday, or how your kids use their favorites.
  ‍
• Photo sharing groups might be super helpful, but NEVER re-post these images without editing them in some way. This will make it unique to yourself.
  And ALWAYS make sure you have permission to edit and share images that are not watermarked or have logos or important text.
  ‍
• You can easily edit a shareable image with any common photo editing software. You can use filters, resize the image, add text, or input them into a collage or graphic.
  ‍
• Use an editing tool, such as Canva.com to create your brand. This means creating a style for what you want your business to “look like”.
  It might take a little time to create, but once you do, it’s unique to you and very valuable.
  Use your personal style to choose colors, fonts, elements of design, and create a logo/watermark, etc. so you can use on all of your images.
  ‍
• Create a template of basic types of images that you can easily change up the colors and elements to reuse over and over.
  It’s also important to stay up-to-date on your company’s terms of use for images/pictures/logos, etc. and this is an easy way to do that.

There you have it! We hope you learned something new and are inspired to snap a few shots for your next Party!
