Top Social Media Tips for Success

Social media is a fast and easy tool to utilize to reach a large number of people in an effective way. No matter if you are new to the game or looking to amp up your efforts, here are some great tips to follow.

Extend your mileage

Some posts can sync across other platforms. For example, you can set up an account on a system like Hootsuite and share the same post to your Facebook business account, Twitter and Linkedin accounts. 

Reuse

Sometimes you can be at a loss for what to post. Never fear, simply take a post from a while back and update it and repost. 

Post in the evenings

Evenings and weekends can also be great times to schedule posts, they don’t all have to be mid week during the day!

Visuals

Always use photos, graphics or videos when of good quality. They are sure to grab your audience’s attention much better than straight text. 

Post regularly

You don’t need to post every hour, but definitely post regularly every week. Posts are like commercials that remind people of a brand and its existence. 

Different content, different platform

While you can sync the same post to multiple platforms, you may also want to diversify things too. Sometimes you may want to share an article on Facebook and Linkedin, perhaps a photo of a recent sold may be good for Instagram. 

Consider Boosts 

Facebook will tell you that if you want to sell something, create a targeted ad that leads to your website. If you want to engage and/or foster growth for your page, consider boosting your posts. Boosts will often times lead to additional likes for your page. Pick one of your most interesting posts to boost for optimal results.
