This week we’re talking about all of the ways you can save time whilst managing your social media channels. In a busy industry it’s important you’re doing all that you can to grow your social media, without having to spend hours and hours on your phone. There are so many vital parts to running successful accounts and you need to be sure you’re able to them, without forgetting to engage with your followers too. Luckily, I have lots of tips and tricks to help you!KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCASTLinkedIn, Instagram and Twitter are really good for interacting with personal and business accounts, especially if you own the account.The first thing you should do is think about the aims for your social media platforms. Are you trying to grow your following? Are you trying to connect with your audience? From there, you should think about your target audience. Chances are, this will be the same target audience that you have for your business.You should write down a list of keywords and hashtags that your customers are using. People often think that they should be using hashtags that show what you do, however, your customers won’t be looking at that. This will help you find your audience.It’s important to think about your competitors and places where you customers might be.When it comes to staying on top of your social media, you need to ensure you have content scheduled. Depending on how often you schedule your content, you need to ensure you’re checking within enough time.Liking and sharing other people’s content every single day is incredibly important. Using the hashtags you’ve collected, you’ll be able to find plenty of content to share. Have a number of posts in mind that you want to engage with and ensure you do it every day. This will help you reach out to your audience and people that may want to follow you.When engaging with other accounts, make sure your comments are meaningful.Occasionally, you might want to carry out an account clean up. This means getting rid of accounts that are no longer active or accounts that no longer align with your values.Every now and again, you may want to review your ‘About Me’ section and links.THE ONE THING YOU NEED TO REMEMBER ABOVE ALL ELSE…You need to check notifications at least three times a day, minimum. Make it part of your routine and you’ll soon get used to it.HIGHLIGHTS YOU SIMPLY CAN'T MISSWhich Platforms Are We Covering? – 05:15Where Should You Start? – 06:00Moving Forward with Your Accounts and Being Proactive – 09:00Transcript below Speaker 1: (00:33) Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the podcast. I am so very grateful to have you here. How was your New Year and your Christmas break? Did you have a wonderful time and managed to get some rest? I did actually, which is fairly unusual if I'm honest. I don't often take a lot of time off but I'm not sure if it entirely helped this time because I felt like I took quite a bit of time off, tried to relax and then I really struggled getting back into it. So it's really interesting cause I thought it would make me really motivated to get going again but it didn't quite have that effect. So I am working super hard at the moment in terms of trying to get my motivation up and trying to get going. And it's hard sometimes when you work on your own and you work from home and that sort of thing.Speaker 1: (
