Dominating Social Media in 2017

  1. Big brands are boring. Small businesses take advantage of your ability to interact on a more personal level with your audience.

  3. Mobile, mobile, mobile. Optimization for mobile is essential.
  4. Advertising on Facebook is the number one platform for targeted campaigns.
  5. Influencer marketing is on the rise.
  6. Content is going to continue growing, so need quality AND quantity!
  7. “Data nerds are gonna reign”. On constantly changing platforms and algorithms, you (or someone you hire) constantly needs to be on top of it.

Speed Up Your Content Creation

  1. Give yourself a shorter deadline. Less time to do work forces you to be more creative and diligent.  
  2. Create blog/core content and social media content at the same time.
  3. Listen to your audience. Ask your audience what they want and then create it.

Three Rules to Get More Followers

  1. Who is your target audience? Figure it out and act accordingly.
  2. Don’t ask for followers. MAJOR taboo. It’s not about follow for follow, it’s about creating a community of like minded people.
  3. Make/share good content. (If you’re just starting out, make sure your platforms already have lots of content. People won’t follow if you don’t have any content on there yet).
