Making your social media life easier.

This tip has been successful for other businesses with their Social Media life. Best of all it is simple and easy to do.

Write out your statuses in advance. Write out your messages for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or another Social Network prior to posting.

Take out a piece of paper, write the days of the week (some people only post Monday-Friday) and determine how many times a week and which days you will post. You may decide to post more than once a day and only three times a week. This is the time to decide. Then write out the statuses.

Some people find it easy to have a set schedule such as the following:

Monday: Post a blog

Tuesday: Post a resource (video, link, someone else’s blog, pdf)

Wednesday: Ask a question to your audience

Thursday: Tip or best practice or information

Friday: Quote or saying or promote someone (On Twitter it would be called Follow Friday)

Once you have it all down on “paper”, you can either do it yourself or hire a Virtual Assistant or a Social Media management console like Hootsuite.com to post for your daily.

Warning: Advance statuses do not mean that your Social Media marketing is complete. Social media be social. This means you still need to make time every day to interact with others. Make comments on their comments, start discussions, respond in real time, and build relationships.
