9. How do I create a solid social sharing schedule?
10. Create a “staggered” social media approach.
1. On publish – Social message sent when your
blog post goes live.
2. Same day – Initial social messages trickle out
to your accounts over the next 2-3 hours.
3. Next day – Messages are shared again on the
appropriate social channels.
4. Next week – Another series of messages are
pre-scheduled and sent the following week.
5. Next month – Even more social messages are
pre-scheduled for the following month.
6. Next _____ – Additional messages can
optionally be scheduled for the three-month
mark or beyond.
16. How do I create social messages that people will actually share?
17. Not only do we need to
properly stagger our
messages out over time,
but we also need to add
variety to our messages.
There should never be a reason to send the same message twice.
