Social media tips for you and your business




  1. What’s your social media goal? If you don’t know where you want to go, it’s pretty hard to get there.
  2. Promote your most popular posts – and that goes for blog posts as well as social media posts.
  3. How do you get the conversation going on social media? Try humor and controversy. They’re very powerful.
  4. Social media is a powerful thing, but never mistake just playing on Facebook with being productive. Stay focused!
  5. Look for questions repeated over and over on your chosen social networks. Provide good answers!!!
  6. Analyze your own tweets. Which types got most retweeting? Most Interaction? Questions or graphics?
  7. Don’t be shy with your social media presence. Go for it – but don’t overdo it and be a pain.
  8. Still trying to be everyone’s “friend”? Each connection counts – and speaks loudly about who you are to your other connections.
  9. If you want your social content to attract, do your best to share quality tips that are unique
  10. Make sure you speak with an identifiable, individual voice when posting social content. Your posts should never sound “canned”.
  11. Be consistent and post regularly but again don’t overdo it.
  12. Include a mix of rich media in your social content. Video, photos, Instagram, Pinterest
  13. Make sure all new product posts are made regularly. Don’t let gaps occur. Keep it fresh in people’s minds (without overdoing it.)
  14. Use sites to create free surveys. You can ask questions and share the link on social media.
