Is social media a chore? Tasked to your intern? Your boss about to pull the plug unless they see an ROI?
Wake up!
Do you have any clue as to how much time people spend on social media every day? Talking to friends. Sharing photos. Ranting at companies. Reviewing products. Posting funny videos. Reading the news. Looking for jobs. Promoting brands…
In 2018, the average time spent on social media was 135 minutes per day. Now? I’m guessing we’re up to about three hours. Three hours when you could be out there chatting with consumers. Building relationships. Helping solve problems. Selling your brand.

Who should your social media manager be?
“Hey, that guy in marketing doesn’t have much work on…” “Let’s use the intern…“ “As long as they’re Gen Y…”
NO. NO. NO.
Your social media manager - regardless of age, gender, salary - needs to fill many roles...
To keep your social media presence relevant, first thing you have to do is a social media audit. To identify what’s working, make improvements, and find any issues that may have arisen.
With the right social media analytics tool, it’s an easy task. First up, choose your reporting timeframes. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, campaign related. You’ll find that it makes sense to report some metrics more often than others.
Check out my step by step guide to creating your social media audit report. It details the why and how to report your social media results, along with examples of the kind of automated reports you can create with Talkwalker Analytics.

Not spy, exactly... be inspired.
Obvs, you don’t want to copy them, but it pays to keep an eye on what they’re doing. What’s working and what isn’t. How they’re engaging with their customers and followers. Are they following any trends? Are they starting trends?

The why.
Your goals will be the driving force behind your social media marketing strategy. Make them SMART.
Choose goals for social media strategy - be SMART.
Don’t restrict yourself to likes and retweets. Think about sales and lead generation, conversion rates, referrals, increased website traffic, brand awareness, etc. Use numbers, deadlines, and make sure your goals are aligned with your marketing strategy.
Let’s use brand awareness as an example…
The who.

Find your ideal customer.
Developing a high quality social media marketing strategy starts with creating your buyer persona. If you don’t know who you’re targeting, how can you write messaging that resonates? That hits its target?
If they’re happy, you’re doing the right thing. You’re targeting the relevant audience. Study their demographics. What industries are they working in? Jump into conversations on forums where your target audience hangs out. Respond to comments. Chat. Have fun.
How does your product make consumers’ lives easier? What questions does your service answer? Demonstrate the benefits to consumers.
Your customer support team are talking with consumers every day. What are the most frequent questions? Are there issues that you’re unaware of?
Meet with your sales team and find out why prospects or customers are going to your competitors? Identify the features that are missing from your products. You can then steer your content in a direction that engages and meets consumers’ needs. The feedback you gather will also benefit your product development.
If you understand your audience, you’re fully equipped to help them. To talk to them in their language, and give them exactly what they want. Consumers are looking to engage with a brand that’s listened. A brand that cares.
Identify age, gender, location, average income, etc. to create your ideal audience persona.
The where.
It’s not how many social media accounts you run, it’s the quality of the content you share on them. You’ll need to understand the mission of each platform. For instance…
Facebook Group - Social Media Professors Community Group - for professors teaching/using social media in the classroom.
Don’t go crazy! If you try to manage too many social channels, you’ll be overwhelmed. Choose your channels by focusing on…
What you’re selling and who you’re selling to, should steer your choice of social media channels.
Flashy enough for you?
Which channels work best for your brand and are popular with your target audience?
If you’re competing with them, then you have to be in the same place. Which social channels are they using? What are they posting? Who are their followers? If they’re on a social platform and they’ve got heaps of followers and engagement, get in there!
If you’re starting up, choose a couple of channels and concentrate on them. Choose too many, and you’ll struggle to stay on top of them.
The world’s most popular social media network, with more than 2 billion monthly active users. Facebook is currently the biggest social media platform based on global reach and total active users, sending more website referral traffic than other social channels.
It’s informal. Engaging. Friendly. Use varied content - blogs, video, images, GIFs, memes, competitions, polls, etc. - that’s relevant to your target audience.
News platform and social media network with 330 million monthly active users. It’s the ideal platform to share blog posts, social ads, curated content.
Interaction is a biggie. Include images, polls, GIFs, hashtags, emoji, questions, answers. Engage with people and encourage retweets, likes, and comments. Twitter is known for edgy content and a proliferation of GIFs.
If I see another Friends GIF, I’ll scream.
Image-based social media network, boasting 1 billion monthly active users. It’s the ideal platform for visually pleasing brands - luxury, fashion, cosmetics, etc. - to collaborate with and tag influencers.
Even if your brand isn’t pretty, you can use Instagram to share behind-the-scenes images of your business - team building events, office parties, conferences, etc.
This is a more formal channel. Business like. It has over 300 million monthly active users and is the place for connecting with professionals. Sell your business, rather than your product. It’s also the world’s largest careers’ network.
Improve your brand identity by publishing content that helps people do their job better, answers their pain points, and offers thought leadership.
Share industry posts, webinars, and events. Avoid memes and GIFs, but you’ll get away with hashtags and emoji.
You won’t find any Friends GIFs here, thankfully.
Company page
Personal page
This image-driven platform is unique, and it’s the users that make it so. It boasts over 50 billion pins and 1 billion boards. Pinterest is the third most popular social platform among adults, and the second largest search engine.
It’s where people go for inspiration. A visual search engine. If your product can be displayed in an aesthetically pleasing way… PIN IT! It’s also a great place to share infographics.
Saturday has proved to be the best day for sharing, between 8pm and 11pm. With original pins bringing more engagement than re-pins. To increase your reach and community, include a Pinterest sharing button on your images.
Globally, video will make up 80% of all online traffic by 2021. You on board?
83% of digital marketers think video marketing brings them good ROI, with 91% using video as a key part of their strategy. With 66% more qualified leads per year, it’s no surprise.
To encourage viewers that aren’t following your YouTube channel, include end cards. These will point them towards more of your videos.
For cross-platform compatibility, cover image should be optimized to display at…
- Desktop - 2560 x 423px
- Mobile - 1564 x 423px
- Tablet - 1855 x 423px
- TV - 2560 x 1440px
Temporary and ephemeral. Snapchat - Snap to its friends - was designed to encourage a more natural flow of interaction. It’s purpose? Instant communication through your mobile. It has almost 2 million active daily users.
You send a photo or video. Recipient opens. It disappears. Forever.
I say forever…
Send short videos, live video chatting, messaging, chronological stories. If targeting a younger demographic is your goal - Gen Y and Gen Z - Snapchat is a great source of engagement. While it won’t suit all industries - finance, healthcare - brands wanting to stay relevant with younger audiences, should give it a go.
These social media channel image dimensions, were correct at time of publishing.
No two social platforms are the same. Different crowd. Different characteristics. Different spec.
Meaning… you need to treat each platform, as an individual.
Writing for social media is a skill. To find your voice. To cut through the noise. To engage your followers. Download my social messaging checklist bundle, for best practices.

Although visual elements in your brand guidelines will remain the same - logo, font, colors, etc. - your tone should change slightly, according to social platform. To do this successfully, a full understanding of your branding is essential, so that while adapting to each platform, you remain cohesive.
You’re singing from the same song sheet, but... Twitter’s the soprano, Facebook’s the tenor, LinkedIn’s the bass.
What’s the difference between voice and tone?
Your voice remains the same, while your tone changes according to who you’re talking to, and the emotion involved.
Out for lunch with a friend, you’d use a different tone compared to a meeting with your boss. Having a laugh with a colleague, you’d use a more appropriate tone if you were consoling a teammate who’s goldfish had died.
Try to stick with an active voice rather than passive.
Walk in your consumers’ shoes...
Keep it chatty. Keep it genuine. Keep it human.
Yes, keep it informal. But remember, clarity is more important than cracking jokes.
Keep the consumers’ shoes on, and find out what they’re thinking. What they need. Are they confused and need help? Are they angry and need pacifying? Adjust your tone of voice, according to the emotion displayed by the consumer.
Getting your message across effectively, will change according to which channel you’re sharing on…
Break language and cultural barriers with emoji. Symbols that communicate universally in a nonverbal way, allowing you to convey euphemisms, sarcasm, emotions…
But take care. Make sure you know what the emoji means. And, what it means on the street…
Aubergine/eggplant/brinjal - it’s a yummy vegetable, popular in ratatouille, moussaka, and curry.
Let’s not be coy... the aubergine emoji, along with the banana and the taco are used to represent… I think you get where I’m coming from.
❄️ Snowflake - represents the obvious - white stuff falling from the sky.
Along with the maple leaf , the snowflake is also used to represent drugs.
Now also used as a disparaging term to label young people who are easily offended and over sensitive, when compared to older generations.

Speaking in tongues, winks, facepalms, hugs, smiley faces, angry faces. I'm talking emoji.
Do social media signals have a direct impact on search engine rankings?
Yep.
Social media is a way to get your content in front of a larger audience. You’ll earn more backlinks, more visibility, more brand awareness…
Twitter - page 1, position 2. Facebook - position 4.
For me, one of the brands that rocks this is MoonPie.
Sometimes I like to take the packaging off first https://t.co/WYqZWYS0Sg
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) November 12, 2019
MoonPie has given its Twitter voice a human persona.
Eat them or not, it's a great example of a humanized brand.
Treat others as you would like to be treated. Be kind. Be honest. Be genuine. Be respectful. Be funny. Consumers won’t engage with automated messages. If you don’t sound as though you care - no personalization - you won’t be liked. You’re talking to an individual, in front of a huge audience. Behave.
On Twitter, I follow marketing experts, writers, influencers, colleagues, politicians... and a handful of brands. Not because I want to buy their products, but because they’ve mastered social media. They’ve created a personality that I want to get to know. They make me laugh. They’re human.

Which brands do you follow on social media? Why?
Obvious? Yes. But you’d be surprised…
If you share a deluge of brand-promoting content with your followers, be ready to watch them disappear.
86% of social media users follow brands on social, looking for relevant content, while 60% of social media users dislike too much promotion. Only 1 in 10 social messages get a response from brands!!!
To build strong relationships with your target audience, you have to interact. Speak to consumers directly and ask questions. What do they think of your product and business? What are their goals? What are their pain points? Chat with them and help them.
Don’t ignore them...

Listen. Don’t hard-sell. Users expect brands to respond to customer support questions. Help solve issues. Run a comprehensive social media strategy, and you’ll be busy. Well busy. You’ll receive hugs and shrugs. You’ll find inspiration for content and product development. User-generated content will be there for the plucking.
Talking of user-generated content. Here’s a happy customer tweeting about Hilton Hotels. The savvy social media manager at the hotel, jumped into action and personally responded to the customer and others who joined the conversation.
I have asked for this about 15 times.
Well... finally, it happened. Well done, @HiltonHotels... pic.twitter.com/q6gnSRhGrR— Mark Nagi (@MarkNagi) July 11, 2018
Hilton Hotels ticked all the boxes.
Social media doesn’t have to be difficult. Focus on creating customer success stories, positive content… your followers will do the rest.
First rule of social media marketing?
Don’t let marketing rule your social media.
Back in the day, hard-sell marketing was the thing. These days, consumers are tired - total understatement - of being bombarded with promotional content. Marketing needs to push engagement, trust, and community. Yes, you can still promote your product. But to avoid in your face marketing, share other stuff…
Your followers are following you.
Bear with me.
It means that they’re interested in your brand, product, industry. Share content that relates to your business. Your industry. For instance… you’re a sportswear brand. Consider posting content about upcoming sporting events - football games, tennis tournaments, etc.
Make consumers’ lives easier, and you’ll have a fan for life. Posts that demonstrate how to get the best out of your product. Content that explains how to perform tasks that are relevant to their life or job - PR crisis guide, how to create a marketing strategy, etc.
Late nights. Pizza on speed dial. Launching your latest social media campaign was full on.
You know it's a winner, but how do you present results to your boss?
A social media report will highlight your goals, your results, your wins. Here's how... https://t.co/xugdM7cV32
— Talkwalker (@Talkwalker) April 4, 2021
Use social listening to find conversations that you can jump in and share ideas, advice, help. Use Twitter Chats relevant to your brand, to do some soft selling and brand awareness.
Consumers are interested in the culture and community behind brands. Sharing updates from team building events, new partnerships, the Christmas party, a charity event, humanizes your brand and increases trust.
Talkwalker and new partner, Khoros, launch their Social Media Trends 2023 report.
This is going to depend on your business and customer base. It’s not appropriate for every brand. Finance and funeral homes, spring to mind.
If you do decide, make sure that you’re not going to offend anyone.
Can someone who is good at photoshop make a picture of a MoonPie next to a bunch of money I need it for a private reason
— MoonPie (@MoonPie) July 12, 2019
MoonPie doesn't try to convince you that it's the best.
Instead, it portrays itself as a human, pining for someone called Linda.
Sometimes the 1st bite of MoonPie is the best bite other times it may be the 2nd bite anyway Linda if you’re listening I’m sorry please tell me what I did wrong

Instagram might be the leading image-based social media platform. But, visuals are recommended for all social channels.
Our brains process images 60,000 times faster than text.
With so much written content being shared on social media, the only way to stand out is to use visuals that wow - photos, graphs, infographics, GIFs, memes, videos. Create original visuals, rather than stock images. A unique infographic will get 3 x more shares than other types of content.
80% of people remember what they see, compared to 10% of what they hear and 20% of what they read.
Use a visual on social media and you’ll reap the benefits...
Video will make up 80% of all global online traffic by 2021.
Way back in 2017, we were going crazy for video with nearly 5 billion YouTube videos viewed every day. 100 million hours of video watched on Facebook.

Due to some iffy influencer behavior - buying followers, nondisclosure - mega and macro-influencer marketing took a bit of a nose dive. This is why the smaller influencers are now coming into their own. They’re more engaged, and trusted by consumers.
Almost 50% of consumers trust influencer recommendations to decide which products to purchase. We’ve seen these influencers prove their credibility, therefore we believe what they say.

Earlier this year, Arianna Renee - Instagram influencer - failed to sell 36 T-shirts, to her 2M+ followers. Many were surprised by this big fail, incorrectly assuming that a large follower base guarantees riches.
What did she do wrong? Her fans claimed that the T-shirts didn’t fit with her image, and with little promotion, they forgot to buy. Having failed to sell the required 36 garments, the supplying company discontinued the line. This meant that the handful of followers who had placed an order, had to be refunded.
Ironically, when she told her sorry tale on Instagram, the post went viral.
Post since deleted.
Running a social media strategy is a full-time job. You can’t simply share a blog post on Tuesday, and walk away for a week.
It’s 24/7/365.
Your followers expect regular updates, interesting stories, engagement…
Somewhere in the world, someone is tweeting, pinning, snapchatting… every second of every day.
To connect with your targeted audience, you need to know not only what interests them, but when they’re online. How often should you post per day? Per channel? What time of day for each channel?
I can give you a starting point - publish as often as you think your content is useful. But, the best solution for your brand, will be found through tests, analysis, and experience.
Here are some best practices that you should test for your brand, and modify accordingly...
Obvs, time zones must play a part in your scheduling.
Download Dan’s easy to use spreadsheet - The Best Time to Post on Social Media - to identify the optimum timing for your audience.
Seriously... stop posting the same message across your social media channels.
Oh, I know it’s tempting. Write a message for Twitter, then bang it out on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, ad infinitum. Saves so much time, no?
It’s lazy and self-defeating.
Each platform has its own language, personality, and formatting. Take the lazy route and you’re in danger of clipping your message, tagging users in platforms they’re not on, distorting your images… generally, looking unprofessional.
Bad news, folks…
You should also avoid posting the same message over and over again on a single platform or multiple accounts. You wrote a cracking tweet and your followers loved it. That doesn’t mean you can post it again, and again, and again.
It’s boring for your followers, and social media platforms have wised up to this game. Twitter - in its ongoing attack against bots and spam - is limiting automation and identical content across accounts. Result? Bored followers and potentially, your account temporarily frozen.
The good news is that you can cross-promote your social channels by including a link in your bio to your other social media accounts.
Your brand getting caught up in a crisis is bad enough, without a loudspeaker a.k.a. social media.
The likelihood of a PR crisis hitting your brand has increased.
Wait. I’m not saying it’s your fault.
We live in an age where the minute we’re unhappy with a product or service, we’re calling out the brand on social media. We’re bombarded with fake news and defamatory rumors.

Birth of the hashtag.
Hashtags are great. A system for information collection. Helping social media users to find relevant topics.
But…
#HashtagFail
Remember these?
#susanalbumparty - British singer’s invitation to album release party. Caps could have saved the day - #SusanAlbumParty.
#MyNYPD - an invitation to the public to share pics of themselves with police offers, resulted in a deluge of photos of police brutality.
#WTFF - Burger King - What The French Fry - overlooked what the rest of the world think this hashtag means.
#LesboCages = Les Bocages. #PowerGenitalia = Powergen Italia. #BlackHateBook = Black Hat eBook. All went viral!
#Aurora - a fashion retailer jumped on this trending hashtag to promote its dress named Aurora. Why was it trending? A mass shooting in the town of Aurora, Colorado.
#WhyIStayed You had pizza. Swift backlash when a pizza brand jumped on a hashtag being used to discuss domestic violence.
The tweet was deleted - quickly - and an apology posted...
A million apologies. Did not read what the hashtag was about before posting.
— DiGiorno (@DiGiorno) September 9, 2014
Brilliant for organizing your social media posts. Great for users searching for posts discussing topics they’re interested in. A catastrophe if not handled wisely.
How many hashtags should you use? Look at the Twitter stats...
Just don’t.
Be polite. Be honest. Be apologetic.
You should have prepared responses to negative comments. I don’t mean automated responses. I mean holding statements to cover predicted crises, that can be adapted. A bad response can damage your brand image. A good response can turn a negative into a positive.
Ignore negativity, and you’ll make it worse.
Here are some best practices on how to respond to negative comments…
I’m angry. Don’t ignore me!
Deal with an issue quickly, with a personalized response. Show them you care. Show other followers that you care.
The customer is always right.
Followers are watching to see how you react to a negative comment. Be professional. Be honest. Be humble.
Don’t air your dirty laundry in public.
Respond to the public comment, but try to take it offline. A back and forth conversation between you and an angry customer, isn’t good publicity.
How would you like it?
Delete my comment, and I’ll post it again. Only this time it will be worse, and I’ll tell everyone you deleted my message. Deal with it.
Obvs, there are exceptions. If it promotes violence, race hate, bigotry, etc., delete/block immediately.
I care about you.
Demonstrate that they’re not receiving an automated response. A cut and paste. Reference the information in their negative comment. Add your name, so they can see that they’re talking to a human. Don’t hide.
It’s free advertising.
Hey, they took the time to say how awesome your brand is. The least you can do is say thank you. Retweet their positive comments. 48% of consumers say user-generated content is a great way to find new products.
Automating your social media messages saves time. No question. But, be prepared to delete inappropriate messages during a catastrophic event.
