Lessons to Get Started...
Useful for beginners in order to maximize the effectiveness
of social media efforts.
Social media has increasingly become a
major player in driving audiences to your brand or cause. So, how does the
average organization or brand make the most effective use of these very
important channels?
1 POST REGULARLY
The more your audience
hears from you, the more mind-share and trust you’ll be able to build and hold
onto.
2. SHARE AND RE-TWEET
Great way to widen your
audience and show that you are the thought leader in your market.
3. DON’T DISCOUNT THE “SMALLER” SOCIAL
NETWORKS
Test out everything, which
includes Instagram, Periscope, Pinterest, Tumblr, Google+, etc. You might be
surprised to uncover a new and difference audience that wants to hear from you!
4. MIX IT UP WITH CONTENT FORMATS
Make sure that your social
media posts (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc.) are well-branded, and don’t be
afraid to use different formats.
5. LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES
Analyze past posts to
determine what works consistently and what doesn’t. Refrain from posting
content that fails to get significant engagement.
6. DELIVER RELEVANT CONTENT
Ensure that what your
audience hears (and sees) is interesting and fits seamlessly with your brand
identity.
7. POST UNIQUE CONTENT
Try not to curate too much
of your social media content, as most likely your target audience has seen it
before. If you want to stand out, your content needs to be unique to your
brand. Don’t be afraid to re-purpose your content with a new spin or in smaller
chunks.
8. BE A HELPER
Respond on social networks
when you have legitimate answers to questions. Be sure to be genuine about
wanting to help.
