Add emojis to comments.

A key element of social media management is engaging with your audience instead of waiting for them to interact with you. Here are some ways to do it.

When you comment on someone’s post, you can leave one emoji or a string of emojis! You can also reply to someone’s comment that they shared on your post. Instead of using only emojis, take it a step further, write something specific, add an emoji, and boom! You have social media gold.
