A majority of people now check their social networks and post to them using their mobile devices. Consider how your messages and posts are reaching mobile users and how you’ll need to adjust what and how you post for this reality.Do use images and linksDon’t use images without a specific purpose (hey, check out the pictures from our holiday party)Don’t use links to long articles or reports without letting people know what to expect. (i.e. “… here’s the full report”)Do share short status updates or ask questionsDon’t post paragraph long status updatesDo “mention” people and organizations in your postsDo promote your own content, blog posts, acolades, etc. on your social networksDon’t go overboard. Be purposeful. All content should be evaluated on the basis of its utility to your audience.
Promoted posts on Facebook is a great, low cost way to get more eyes on your post and works especially well for reaching people on Facebook through their desktop or mobile device.
