TEN TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL SOCIAL MEDIA

You know you need to have a presence on social media to be found by followers, other companies, and consumers. What steps do you need to get your content seen and shared? Check out these ten tips for successful social media and implement them today!

Tip #1: Post Consistently
​Make sure to choose the days you want to post and post on those days every week! Start small with three days a week and add a day every week or month to your social media schedule to build your social media content.

Tip #2: Pick your platforms

Some platforms are better than others, depending on your business. LI is excellent for B2B; Instagram is known for lifestyle, 

and Twitter is perfect for technology. While you can post on more than one platform, pick one platform to focus on, interact with, and grow your following.

Tip #3: Voice Message through IG
​Did you know you can voice message others via IG? This is a highly underrated tool to make a personal impact for your brand to potential clients or other businesses you’d like to cross-promote. Voice message others on IG and attach a link to your blog, social media, or show your appreciation by thanking them for following you!

Tip #4: Use a social media scheduler
Buffer and Later are two popular social media schedulers many businesses use to get their word out on social media. Build your brand in less time using a social media scheduler. With a scheduler, you can post an entire week of content at one time! You can post two weeks or more if you have your content ready to go!

Tip #5: Post reviews from your clients
​Many people have trouble coming up with new and fresh content - its hard to always think of new ideas for your marketing. Pick a day of the week and post a customer review! Show off your talent with a referral from a loyal customer.

Tip #6: Create fun and engaging videos with still photos
​You don’t have to be an expert videographer to produce a good video! Adobe Spark is a tool I use to create videos from still images. Just drop and drag your photos, add titles, and voila a great video ready to go on social media. If you have questions, please message me on Insta at Write For You Park City.

​Tip #7: Plan an Ad Campaign
Getting your message to the right ears can be challenging and difficult. You may have seen paid boosts for your posts on social media. Instead of boosting your post, plan an ad campaign instead. You can choose your audience and receive a better ROI in return.

Tip #8: Make a marketing plan
This sounds tough and daunting, but, in reality, a marketing plan is a monthly calendar where you schedule your posts. Plan your campaigns around a theme for your brand, then create short and sweet content relevant to your tribe. Your listeners will love your information!

Tip #9: Remember to engage with your audience!
​Leave thoughtful replies to comments on your social media posts. Make sure also to leave answers to reviews on Google - you want your reviewers to know that you are acknowledging their time to write you a review - whether the review was positive or negative.

Tip #10 Post your blog content on your social media
​Original blog content is a great way to get your audience informed on your brand. Give valuable and useful content to your followers so they will keep coming back for more. If you are looking for help with your blog content, contact me.
