10 WAYS TO SUCK
AT SOCIAL MEDIA
@DigitalBrandNation
BUT FIRST…
WHAT IS SOCIAL MEDIA?
It’s more than just Facebook and Instagram.
400 VIDEOS ARE UPLOADED
EVERY SECOND
And that’s just on Facebook.
10 WAYS TO SUCK AT SOCIAL MEDIA
A Lesson in What NOT to Do
#1
POST INCONSISTENTLY
57% of consumers’ buying decisions are influenced by social media.
#2
POST LOW QUALITY CONTENT
57% of consumers’ buying decisions are influenced by social media.
NO YES
#3
POST THE SAME STUFF
ALL THE TIME
Mix it up and get creative!
REMEMBER THE
80/20 RULE
There are no rules. Only ideas that work and ones that don’t.
#4
AVOID HUMOR BECAUSE YOU’RE
WORRIED ABOUT OFFENDING PEOPLE
If it got your attention, it’ll get theirs too!
#5
POST CANNED CONTENT OR LINKS
Facebook wants you to NEVER LEAVE.
#6
UNDERESTIMATE YOUR PEOPLE
Photos of faces = Tagging and sharing = Results!
#7
CONTESTS
TOO MANY OR NONE AT ALL
Ever heard of “too much of a good thing?”
845 Reactions
304 Comments
1,025 Shares
Over 500 New Followers
TOTAL COST:
$380
#8
DON’T BOOST YOUR POSTS
Just sit there and spin your wheels. That won’t be frustrating at ALL.
#9
GIVE UP QUICKLY
Everybody loves a quitter.
#10
DELEGATE IT TO THE
WRONG PERSON
Your brand is your baby. Who can you trust?
PEOPLE CAN REMEMBER A
PIECE OF CONTENT AFTER JUST
.25 SECONDS
What is your social content saying about you?
Whoops…
5 BEST PRACTICES
FOR BUSY BUSINESS OWNERS
Write this down. But really though.
1. USE A CONTENT SCHEDULING TOOL
2. PAY FOR HELPFUL TOOLS / PRO VERSIONS
3. BRAINSTORM IDEAS EVERY MONTH
4. SEE WHAT WORKS & ADJUST ACCORDINGLY
5. UNDERSTAND YOUR LIMITATIONS
