Tips for promoting content on social
Here are a few things to keep in mind for social media promotion:- Choose the right channel. Some content is perfect for Facebook, some for Twitter, and some is great for both. You should know your audience well enough to have an idea of what they want to see where. If not, experiment.
- Post at the right times. Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn all have some built in analytics. And if you're using social media management tools like Sprout Social, Hootsuite, or Buffer, you should also have access to information about what days and what times of day your audience is most active. Use that to your advantage.
- Use hashtags (prudently). Although hashtags are easy to overdo, they're also a way to get new eyes on the content you're posting on social. Research which hashtags are relevant for your industry and go.
- Don’t forget your brand voice during promotion. Your tweet or Facebook post should flow nicely with the way you usually speak with your audience.
