3 KEY THINGS TO REMEMBER1. Always plan. Set goals and be realistic. Think of what you want to achieve, when you will achieve it and how.2. Use 3rd party tools to aid you in managing, listening and monitoring. Social can simultaneously be fun and very time consuming, especially when you don’t want to miss a word that has been said about you.3. Remember that channel you’re still not part of? Well, get on there. If it’s free, popular, and you know at least 10 people who are using it - you have absolutely no excuses.
