There are several psychological tactics that can be used to influence public opinion, such as identifying with a particular cause, framing the issue correctly, using repetition to reinforce the message and creating a sense of exclusivity by making people feel like insiders. Social media and digital platforms can be used to spread messages in a variety of ways. Compelling visuals, catchy headlines and videos and quirky memes can all attract attention and start conversations. Additionally, influencers have become increasingly important for advertisers as they help shape public opinion on social media - often for brands or causes they identify with strongly. By getting key influencers onboard who share your views or beliefs there is potential to reach millions of people rapidly. This allows you to positively influence current trends across many different industries as well generate meaningful discussions online with large-scale outcomes.

Psychological tactics that can be used to influence public opinion on certain matters include using fear, creating desire and scarcity, playing on people’s biases and insecurities, employing positive reinforcement, leveraging social proof, appealing to the moral narrative, connecting with audiences emotionally, stoking the urgency of an issue through stories or warnings about impending disaster. Moreover, exploiting existing divisions within a society is another effective tactic for influencing public opinion. 
To spread their message and shape public opinion in a positive way on social media or other digital platforms requires careful thinking of approaches to take. For instance: 1) Leverage influencers or thought leaders; 2) Post content that is entertaining as well as informative; 3) Engage in dialogues rather than one-way messaging; 4) Offer rewards or discounts for actions taken based on desired outcomes; 5) Use analytics data and insights to hone messaging even further;  6) Integrate compelling visuals wherever possible. Additionally focusing attention by hosting events or providing experiences related directly with key topics may also serve well towards gaining influence over public opinion online.
