“Evergreen content” never gets outdated
and provides value to your audience - no matter when you post it. Automate Your Evergreen Content

Don’t let your great content
go to waste or get stale. Keep it in front of a whole new audience! Evergreen Content Should be Shared Frequently and OFTEN!

Your audience never has sick
days or goes on vacation, neither should your content. Schedule Your Posts Before You Go on Vacation (or an event)

The key to successful automation
– interact, engage and be YOU! Automate But Maintain a Live Presence to Respond

Read the articles you’re sharing
and make sure they are relevant to your brand. Always Read the Messages You Schedule

Add context around the content.
Add a Personal Touch to Scheduled Messages

Whether you’re a small/local company
or big brand - be personable and accessible. Be Human

Know what is being said
about you and respond in real-time. Set Up Notifications to Monitor and Manage Company and Employee Mentions

Use Google’s “Me on the
Web” tool. Stay Up to-Date With Important Alerts

You can automate posts, comments,
replies, and even direct messages. Don’t do it! Don't Automate Everything

Although it may seem that
automatic direct messages or automated tweets in conversations can save a lot of time, they hurt more than they help. Never Automate Direct Messages or Tweets in Conversations on Twitter

Scheduling too far in advance
makes it very easy to forget what you’re sharing. By the time your content is shared, it may be out of date. Don’t Schedule Too Far in Advance

On the opposite end, be
ready to jump in and turn off your automation if there is a tragedy in the news. While Automating, Stay Away From Current Events

Each social network is different
and deserves a different approach. Don't Automate the Same Content to Each Social Network

We love the platforms for
their differences - pay attention to what works for each! Optimize each post for the different platforms 612 x 612 1200 x 627 600 x 900 440 x 220

If your customer is experiencing
problems with your product, the last thing they want is to receive an automatic response from a robot. Never Automate Troubleshooting

Listen and respond to your
users when they have problems. ● TwitLonger when you need more than 140 characters ● Jump on a screen share using Join.me ● Use Facebook Live to address concerns quickly and to a broad audience Don’t be a robot. Have empathy!

Automation can significantly boost engagement
and efficiency, but use it wisely. Remember to Use Automation WISELY!
