  • Social Media Self Audit

    social media self audit | KimMcDaniels Co.

    When starting with a social media management client I do an audit of their accounts. You can perform a self audit by asking yourself these questions:

    • How do you feel about engaging on social media?
    • What social media platform do you think your audience is on?
    • How much time do you spend creating posts for social media?
    • Do you feel you should increase or decrease the time you spent creating social media posts?
    • If you increase time spent creating social media, where will this time come from?
    • What platforms/networks are you on and how many times per day do you post?
    • What do you think the ideal number of posts per day should be?
    • What are your most responsive type of posts?
      • text only, photos with commentary, video, live, stories, memes, posts with humor, new blog content, product links?
    • Do you know your competitors? If so, make a list and compare your social media presence to theirs.
    • What hashtags is your ideal customer using in their posts?
    • What type of content do you think your customer would respond to?
      • video, live, photo posts, etc.
    • What do you need to do to start creating more of what your customer is responding to?

    It’s #TwitterTuesday! If you’re looking to wow your followers, and the Twitter community, then make sure that you give these seven tips a try.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/john-rampton/7-tips-for-using-twitter-_b_5967358.html


    Live tweeting an event tip: Be careful not to just post the sound bites from speakers, as it’s so common that you’ll notice everyone doing it. You want to be unique and stand out, so that other people will retweet and follow you. So instead, try to build on the comment given, either by posing a question, a challenge or furthering the idea with your own insights. #TwitterTuesday


    #TwitterTuesday tip: Do you use the Twitter keyboard shortcuts? Type a question mark on any Twitter page to bring up the menu. Among my favorite shortcuts:
    g + l = Takes me directly to my Twitter lists
    j / k = Cycling forward and backward through tweets
    Enter = Open tweet details
    | = Close all open tweets


    #TwitterTuesday tip: You can access Advanced Search from any search results page, and the extra options of search allow you to customize the results based on hashtags, language, location, and more.


    How do you use #Twitter favorites? How about: Use favorites to mark tweets that are complimentary of your brand or product. Use favorites when you want to say thanks to someone for tweeting your content. Use favorites as a read-later device to track the content you want to save for later.

    Twitter Automation: Be mindful of the automated tools you use, don’t retweet everything you’re mentioned in – if you want to express gratitude, a simple “favorite” would do. Don’t automatically thank everyone who follows you. It’s obvious and instead of showing you value people, it shows you letting bots handle interaction. author: Kent Wakely #TwitterTuesday


    Twitter cards allow for more immersive social sharing by including rich media elements and your Twitter handle in the Tweet. WordPress plugins that support this include Jetpack, Yoast SEO, and JM Twitter Cards. author: Kent Wakely #TwitterTuesday

    Great #TwitterTuesday tip: As different from regular (non-advertising) tweets, don’t include hashtags, @ symbols, image URLs, or any other clickable elements in your tweet other than your delivery URL. Anything else will distract potential leads from clicking through to your intended offer or content. This is especially important for pay-per-engagement campaigns since you’ll pay for any clicks on hashtags, etc. author: Howard J. Sewell
