Editor's Notes
- Too often we spew out information trying to develop ourselves as thought leaders in our industry and forget to listen to our customers. Monitoring your brand is far more than just setting a Google alert.
- Unless you are a news source, there is no need to share multiple posts per day on Facebook. It’s the #1 reason why fans hide company updates. For Twitter, it’s okay because your tweet goes by in a nanosecond, but using a scheduler is best.
