One thing that gets ignored a lot is the power of engagement. Social media is give and take, it's not just take. To get engagements from your users or followers you too need to engage with their posts and comments as well.

Your content should target a specific audience so when they see it they would be compelled to take action as a result of seeing your post, bear in mind that generic posts don't get engagements as much as posts that are directed at a specific audience

Post shareable content, content tend dt have more reach when your audience can share it to their family and their friends, either because it is funny or educational or generally interesting it will evoke a certain emotion in the audiences and will gain you more engagement as well.

Act human, this is the last and also probably the most important depending on who your target audience [the people you want your post to reach] people follow accounts that they understand, accounts that they relate and accounts that are useful to them. But have in mind that the tone of your message should not sound automated, you may bore your audience over time

That is all the basics you need to enjoy your stay on social media. I hope this information was useful to you
