This Community Service (PkM) program was conducted in Kaligentong Village, Gladagsari, Boyolali, Central Java, aiming to enhance the competitiveness of local superior products through the implementation of digital marketing strategies for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). The main problem faced by the partners was their limited ability to utilize social media and online marketplaces for effective product marketing. The program employed a two-day training approach, including product photography and videography using smartphones, promotional content writing (copywriting), and online store creation on e-commerce platforms, followed by hands-on mentoring and evaluation. The results showed a significant improvement in participants’ knowledge and skills in managing digital business accounts, producing engaging photo and video content, and utilizing marketplaces to expand their market reach. More than 80% of participants successfully created new business accounts and actively promoted their products online. This activity had a positive impact on improving digital literacy and local product marketing while strengthening the collaboration between higher education institutions and the community in developing the village economy.

This research uses a qualitative method to examine the influence of emotional copywriting on user engagement in algorithm-curated social media platforms such as Instagram Reels and TikTok’s For You Page (FYP). The increasing consumption of short-form, personalized content driven by user behavior highlights the need for more targeted communication strategies. Emotional copywriting—writing that emphasizes affective elements such as empathy, joy, fear, or nostalgia—is considered effective in creating emotional bonds between content creators and audiences, thus encouraging interactions like likes, comments, and shares. This study was conducted through content analysis of 25 viral videos with high engagement, along with in-depth interviews with five active content creators. The findings reveal that using emotionally resonant phrases aligned with users’ social values and experiences significantly boosts content performance within algorithmic systems. Emotionally charged content tends to receive broader exposure as algorithms prioritize highly interactive posts. Therefore, emotional copywriting is not only a creative strategy but also an effective tactic for optimizing content visibility in the age of social media algorithms.   Keywords: , , , , , Reels, ,  social platforms.
