Have you set goals for your social media marketing for this year? It’s not too late to do that (and, for the record, it’s always a good idea to set goals regardless of the time of year). Cision gives several recommendations on goals you might want to consider. My three favorites:
I resolve to get consistent in my posting. “Consistency” is one of those words you’ll hear me repeat a lot. It’s important to your success in online marketing.
I resolve to actually listen on social media. If you’re not already engaging in social listening, you need to start today! And then you need to start responding to questions and comments.
I resolve to set up goals for my social media. And make sure you create SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, and Time-bound.
Did you set up social media marketing resolutions for this year? What were they?
