Why Your Social Media May not be Working
September 12, 2018
- You don’t have a strategy on social media. Posting haphazardly, tagging a couple accounts, and calling it a day doesn’t cut it – it’s important to have a plan and specific objectives.
- You’re not up-to-date with algorithm changes. Facebook is notorious for regularly changing the way content is prioritized and served – if you don’t keep up, no one will see what you’re posting.
- Your strategy doesn’t include paid social. Facebook says we should eventually expect organic reach to hit zero – so unless you want to be talking to yourself, you’ll need to allocate budget for paid posts to supplement your organic efforts.
- You’re posting, but not engaging with the community. Engagement is a two-way street and social media is a great opportunity to connect with your followers and be part of a conversation.
- You haven’t found the posting frequency sweet spot yet. Posting once a month won’t cut it, but you also don’t want to overwhelm your followers with 10 posts a day.
