Organizing Social Media Campaigns
“A good way to get more followers is to plan campaigns ahead of time,” Ochart said. “If there’s a big event coming up, you can organize a campaign if that’s what your target audience is interested in to get more followers.”
Pro Tip: Get yourself a social media management tool, such as Buffer, so you can create and schedule your content when you have some downtime. This gives you opportunities to plan exciting campaigns before it’s too late.
Less is More
“Only use about 1-3 hashtags per post max,” Ochart said. “If you use a ton of them, social media networks won’t give you as much visibility.”
Pro Tip: If you’re just starting out and don’t have tons of engagement yet, choose more specific hashtags your target audiences are likely to follow, such as #miamibusinesses or #lgbtqrightsarehumanrights instead of #miami and #lgbt. When you choose less popular yet relevant hashtags, you have a higher chance of being seen by people you care about.
Go Live!
“You don’t want to fatigue your audiences,” Ochart said. “Usually, you should stick to one to two posts per day, unless there’s an event going on. If there’s an event going on, and you want people to be in the loop, use your live options. All major social media networks—Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn—allow you to go live so you can broadcast what’s going on and add a human element to your brand.”
