Managing social media means you need a variety of skills to become successful. You have to juggle multiple plates and wear several hats, from content ideation to video production—basically, you have a lot to handle.
Here are 17 social media management tips to help you stay productive and organized:
1. Identify the best platforms for your brand
From longstanding favorites like Instagram and YouTube to newer apps like TikTok and BeReal, there are so many social media platforms to choose from. And with monthly updates and new features, it can be tempting to try everything, but you need to choose the right social media channels for your business.
Consider your brand’s goals, resources, current content types, your audience, your competitors and the industry you’re in. Use this information to form a strategic approach and identify the best platforms for your brand.
Continue your research as you find the platform that works best for you. For example, if your brand uses Instagram, seek platform-specific advice by searching “social media management tips for Instagram.”
2. Set your social media goals
Set social media goals that are measurable and align with the overall business objectives of your brand.
Use the SMART goal-setting framework to guide you. The acronym stands for:
· Specific: Your goal should be clear and defined. State what you will accomplish specifically.
· Measurable: You need to track any social goal with numbers. This is where metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) come into play. Metrics are just numbers, but KPIs bring context and meaning to your data.
· Achievable: Do you have the necessary resources (time, budget, creatives, etc.) to achieve your goals?
· Realistic: Dream big, but within reason. Avoid promising results you can’t produce (think quadrupling conversions in one week).
· Time sensitive: Give yourself a timeframe (monthly, quarterly or annually) to reach your goals.
Once you set your goals, identify the key performance indicators (KPIs) you’d like to use to measure your success. Your KPIs are contingent on each goal so choose those metrics after confirming your goals. For example, if you wanted to increase your brand engagement, likes, comments, shares and mentions could be potential KPIs. Read More…
