This document provides a suggested 10 minute per day social media routine for businesses to follow across several major platforms. It involves posting 1-2 times daily on Facebook, tweeting 3 times daily and engaging with others, posting twice daily on Google+ and engaging others, occasional posting on Pinterest, regular profile updates on LinkedIn and engaging others, sharing videos weekly on YouTube, and writing blog posts every two weeks. It recommends using scheduling tools like Hootsuite to efficiently manage posting across multiple accounts.

SOCIAL MEDIA ROUTINE

2. .
Many businesses (small & large) often struggle with social
media. Measuring it is one thing but the discipline of
routine updates is another. We came across an infographic
(below this post) that addresses a simple daily social
media checklist that can be adopted by organisations of all
sizes. I have to put in an early warning here that there is no
one-size-fit-all ‘social media plan’ but this routine is sure to
get some discipline in place for your social media and get
you on the right footing.

I does not take long, does
it? Make it part of your
morning routine in the
office. And with post
scheduling, you can plan
your posts well ahead of
time.
Make sure you keep it relevant to your
industry. All of us bump into some
interesting facts on the internet
throughout the day, so whenever you
find one, just post it, but don’t forget to
add a brief comment with an opinion
maybe, so it does not look automated.
If you run out of ideas you may want to
try some authority website in your
industry.

Find and “Like”
1 Page A Day
Here you’ve got a bit more
freedom. Apart from industry
relevant pages you may also like
other pages to show your audience
that you have diverse interests. A
good idea is to like pages that your
fans like – “Know your audience”
remember?
Ask People to

Not much to say really, the

TWEET AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY
You should never ever forget to tweet about your new blog or promotional offer but
on the other hand loose the sales pitch and don’t be too self obsessed. A completely
unrelated funny tweet is very welcome once in a while and shows your followers
how cool you are, right!

RE-TWEET 2 INTERESTING TWEETS A DAY
If you like a tweet in your feed, you may want to re-tweet it. It saves you the time
of finding something yourself and also enhances your relationship with the user
who tweeted it first. If he knows you like his tweets he will look at you with a good
eye.

POST AT LEAST TWICE A DAY
Much like on Facebook, try to keep it relevant to the industry with occasional funny post to show
your not “all work and no fun”. As Google+ is still considered a bit more “professional focused” the
trend is to share an opinion on the articles you are posting to show you’ve read it all.

POST IMAGES EACH MONTH
As Pinterest is inherently a visual platform, creating original content is not that easy,
which is why you need not hurry. Take high quality pictures of your new products or
examples of work and upload them regularly. If your business is offering services, try
to think of infographics or other ways of visually presented data that can be of interest
to your audience. Always use keywords and tags and make sure your pins link back to
your website. Although the Infogprahic says you need to add a new board each week,
we find that unrealistic. Companies usually have a fixed number of boards, mostly
based on the type of products or services they offer

Recommendations
Although LinkedIn is professional
network and posting multiple
times a day is not advisable, you
need to make sure your company
status is updated regularly and
your company profile reflect the
latest changes in the business.
Carefully select the people you
want to connect with. This is not
like Google+ or Tweeter, don’t just
send request to everyone you see.
If you don’t know the person or
you do not have much in common
they will probably reject it.
Find companies within your
industry and follow them to be on
top of any updates they are
sharing. It is always useful to know
what they’ve got to say and of
course they may follow you back.
Recommendations are brilliant
but if you don’t ask for it the
chances of someone sitting down
and writing one are much
slimmer.

Keep in mind the SEO value of the blog post and
use your target keywords in the title and the

don’t brag about it who is going to read it.

You’ve got so much to do – posting, tweeting, re-tweeting, blogging, uploading pictures, sharing videos so
