How do you stay consistent with your social media management?

10 replies
It seems that unless you stay on top of it, social media marketing can be a waste of time. What I have learned is that using a checklist, quick responses and consistent engagement is the key to marketing with social media. How are you staying on top of your social media marketing game?

    I like to do all my social marketing the lazy way.

    By using automated "set it and forget it" methods. There are a lot of websites out there that can help. Services that will automatically share your newly posted content, and even crawl and submit your old content. SNAP is a good free wordpress theme that can help you with this.

    This is the only way I can stay consistent with having so many sites across so many niches.

  • I have a daily task list to help me keep track of my social media management. I automate some posts but I still take the time to visit each account to interact with followers and fans.

    I believe that the most important things in managing your social media is to update, engage and offer useful information to your followers. Plus. you can also gain new followers.

      I agree with this answer, of course the most important thing is to keep your profile in order, make neccessay updates, use quality content etc.

    The easiest way is to use social media management tools e.g Hootsuite or Buffer . These aren't a magic solution - some content works being automated, but you'll still find you want to craft particular content for particular channels at particular times.

    Some folks will also argue you need a content strategy whereas others will advocate a spontaneous type approach. See what works for you with the tools and try to always be consistent with the application of your brand regardless of content/channel.

      It is a waste of time if you're not on top of things. FB takes a lot of energy to keep that engagement up unless if you're niche has super passionate fans ie; sports team page, religion, etc.
      One way to manage it all is striking a balance between:
      1. scheduling daily posts two weeks ahead
      2. use your smartphone to make use of those useless moments (while traveling, waiting around, watching tv, etc.) to put up posts and engage with fans.
      3. following other pages in your niche and borrow their content or use it as an idea to quickly create a similar post on your page.

      It's a lot of work, so if you don't see yourself doing this daily then perhaps just try FB advertising instead of building a page. With FB edgerank crap hurting business pages more and more every year it really makes you reassess this whole platform. It works great for some niches and for others it's just not worth it.

      Not discouraging you, just cautioning you so you can devise a strong plan for attack, that's all.

      Cheers.

    I find Tweetadder is good for Twitter. You still need to input info but it will post for you once set up.

    I would recommending trying services like ZootRock (htpp://zootrock.com). It will source relevant content for your niche to post to your social media accounts and will even post automatically for you if you want.
