5 Social Media Don’ts
We share a lot about what you should be doing on your social channels. Let’s shake things up with 5 things you shouldn’t do:
- Don’t Expect Instant Results. Social media is about relationship-building, which requires sustained effort over time.
- Don’t Take Haters Personally. Address genuine concerns, of course. But when it comes to the trolls, stay focused on your goals and your true audience.
- Don’t Focus on Vanity Metrics. You know what matters more than your follower count? The rate at which your content is resonating with your audience and sparking conversation.
- Don’t Ignore Comments. Social media marketing is a two-way street built on authentic connection between brands and consumers. Jump in.
- Don’t Be Overly Promotional. Forsake the hard sell. People follow brands that provide value to their feed and their lives. Build trust by entertaining, empathizing with, and engaging your audience.
