How to Executae a Winning
Social Media
Strategy in Under
25 minutes a day!
Once a Week
- Your social media strategy should include a content calendar (you have a content calendar, right?) that tells what to post, on which platforms, and on which days of the week. Pick one day where you’ll plan out your posts for the entire upcoming week according to your content calendar (if you’re really ambitious, you could plan your posts for the entire month here). Use a scheduling app, like Later or Hootsuite, that allows you to pull in your content, write your captions, and schedule a time and day to post – Later sends you a push notification on the day and time of your scheduled post to remind you.
- Pro tip: Scheduling your posts eliminates the potential of posting too infrequently, which is one of the biggest ways to lose followers!.
- Which posts have the highest engagement rates? Highest reach? Can you identify commonalities between these high-performing posts and come to a conclusion about what type of content your audience responds best to?
