This document discusses eight social media practices or mindsets that need to be improved or upgraded. It discusses: 1) focusing on future customers who are increasingly using social media, 2) shifting from broadcasting to helping through conversational marketing, 3) being more human and less automated, 4) ensuring posts are relevant, 5) paying attention to the right engagement metrics like comments rather than just likes, 6) having a clear social media presence or "hub and spoke" strategy across multiple platforms, 7) focusing efforts on a few selected platforms well rather than being spread too thin, and 8) establishing and enforcing good community guidelines to ensure social platforms remain safe and helpful.
