A lot of you already have blogs or businesses or are planning to. While maintaining the website and getting clients is essential, it is also important to keep your social media up-to-date. Imagine that you are a social media marketer and you don’t have an active profile. How is that going to help you get more clients? If it is tough to maintain so many platforms, be active on at least two of them.
7 Tips To Keep Your Social Media Up-To-Date
Post at the same time on all platforms
Many times, you will notice that people make one kind of post and share the same content on different platforms. It helps maintain consistency and saves you time from creating additional content for each platform. You can do this too by making slight changes with hashtags and emojis and scheduling it everywhere. Make sure you post at the same time, so your followers know when to look forward to your posts. You can use a scheduler, or you can do it manually as well.
For example, You can share the same post from Instagram on Facebook and Tumblr. If you have a blog, you can share your blog directly from your WordPress dashboard.
Keep people who are going to add value
Don’t be behind the follow-for-follow waggon. Keep people in your TG with whom you can provide value and whom you think will gain something from your posts that will be beneficial for them. Don’t just post the content that you believe will be helpful. Find out who is in your niche, what they do, and what works for them. Take that idea. Remember, all the ideas are inspired by someone or something. Take that idea and present it your way.
For example, Everyone knows you should exercise, but no one knows why they should from your angle. Maybe you can provide a different perspective on something. Work on that.
Share, Reshare, Reshare
Our attention span has gone so low that if it’s not interesting, you won’t spend a minute on it. That’s why you have to keep sharing it with people to let them know that you’re out there and that you exist. Plan accordingly, and share your posts with your audience multiple times. Do not forget the power of resharing. But remember: plan it strategically so that your followers are not annoyed by it.
Ask your friends to promote
Who doesn’t like shout-outs? Noone. Many times you make a product or offer a service, and the first thing that comes to mind is to ask your friends to buy it or use it. They might love and support you, but they don’t have any use for it. If that’s the case, tell them to share your posts on their story with their followers. I am sure it will not cost them anything, and they will do it happily. You might not get any customers, but it will help you get traffic and traction. So the next time your friend’s friend wants something that you have, they will reach out to you. And that’s the ultimate goal.
Use Canva for creating Social Media Posts
I cannot even begin to explain the use of this tool because there are so many of them! For those who don’t know, it is a template-based Image editing tool for any and every occasion you can think of. Just select your template, and you’re good to go. But the problem is that everyone is using Canva nowadays. What different things can you do? Use another tool, but they aren’t as effective as Canva. So what you can do instead is take some time to scan and select something different and unique, and then go about making your changes.
Use Hashtags for Reach
Hashtags have a considerable role to play when it comes to reaching people. Yes, getting clients and engagement for your business is the ultimate goal, but for that, you need to have visibility. And that is exactly where Hashtags come into the picture. Don’t put random hashtags like #Days or #Dinner. These are very common, and your post has the possibility of getting lost in the sea.
Spend time and research meaningful hashtags that have a following of thousands or tens of thousands. So there might be a possibility of your post being noticed.
Be Shameless
create a story, send it to your friends, post on Facebook and LinkedIn Groups, Pin it on Pinterest boards, and do all that you can think of. Remember, every business needs Marketing, and you can only do that if you are open to talking about your product at any given time.
Don’t be annoying, but be assertive. No one will come and give you clients or leads. No one will come and give you their business. You and only you have to show them that you’re worthy of doing their work.

I hear about Canva for some time now but I never try to work with it. Christmas is coming. I need some nice postcards for my virtual friends ❤️
YS
Be shameless is probably one of the things that I struggle with!
Romy
Nice suggestions! Especially the one “be shameless” spoke to me, as I always feel a bit shy about promoting my own writings. Thanks for giving the push to put that fear behind me!
Kimberlie
Canva is an absolute favorite of mine and I cannot agree more about how useful it is in social media marketing. Thank you for sharing the other tips as well.

Great points here! I often forget to reshare my posts and then wonder why it’s getting less engagement!
Rm muk
Thanks for sharing really good information
Lindsay
This is so true! I especially agree with short attention spans. I think we worry about over sharing but I know I get daily emails from big companies and think nothing of it. We just have to be a little more ruthless!
Sarah Greig
Great post 🙂
Daphne
What is sticking with me is the idea of being shameless! I used that word several times this week promoting my affiliate page for GrooveFunnels. Because I KNOW the value. Thx for affirming it is a good approach.
Janette Pattillo
This is a great article. I am a blogger and I personally don’t enjoy the whole marketing and promoting aspect of the online business world. Yet, it is so necessary. I just want to focus on content sometimes, but what is the point of your content if nobody is seeing it. Social media gives us the opportunity to get it out there and you’ve given tons of tips on how to better do that! Thank you!
Christina
This is a great post. I love Canva and #hashtags. I am relatively new to social media and I did not grow up in the digital age so it is not intuitive. Thanks for these great reminders to keep me going.
Jenn Summers
Great tips! I used to feel like resharing would be annoying then I read that a large majority of my audience does not see what I post the first time and I realized how vital it was to keep sharing, spaced out of course. My favourite tip is the Be Shameless tip, this is something I have been working on very hard this year and it is starting to pay off. Thank you for the amazing tips.
Sandra Ans

Morning, Glad to connect with you. Consistency on any platform is of utmost importance and then also value when sending out anything on social media. As you rightfully mention we need to keep our audience updated, informed and give them something to look forward to and which they can use and will help them in blogging or day to day.

Good tips! I am not the best at keeping active at my social media. I need to do more! As I understand it, there is a plugin on WordPress that automatically shares posts for you periodically. I may look into that.
