You post. Nothing happens. Why?

Most brands make the same 3 critical mistakes on Xiaohongshu. Here's what's really happening — and what actually works.

❌ The 3 Most Common Mistakes

Mistake #1: Product-style posts

You showcase features, specs, and benefits. But users scroll past because it feels like an ad, not authentic content they want to engage with.

Result: Low engagement, poor reach, wasted budget

Mistake #2: Chasing hot hashtags

You jump on trending topics that have nothing to do with your brand. The algorithm notices the mismatch and your content gets buried.

Result: Content gets restricted, brand looks inauthentic

Mistake #3: Picking KOLs over KOCs

You go for big influencers thinking more followers = better results. But KOCs (Key Opinion Consumers) often have higher trust and engagement rates.

Result: High cost, low conversion, poor ROI

✅ What Actually Works

✓ Storytelling hook structure

Start with a relatable problem or question. Share a personal story or experience. Then naturally introduce your solution.

Example: 'I used to struggle with...' → 'Then I discovered...' → 'Now I...'

✓ Lifestyle visuals over product shots

Show your product in real-life scenarios. Focus on the experience and emotions, not just the product itself.

Result: 3x higher engagement, more authentic brand perception

✓ Search-focused keyword planning

Research what your target audience actually searches for. Use those exact terms in your content naturally.

Tip: Focus on long-tail keywords with clear intent

✓ KOC-first collaboration strategy

Partner with micro-influencers who genuinely use and love your product. Their authentic recommendations carry more weight.

Sweet spot: 1K-50K followers with high engagement rates
