Effective Social Media Use!

11 Unusual Social Media Tips!

Above linked is a really awesome article that I found that is going to help me out a lot this semester! The ideas presented are really great, some of which we have already thought of.

The tips and my thoughts on them:

  1. Create custom-formatted tweets.
    • I don't know how to do this, but I have seen it before. I will need to learn and get on that! 
  2. Write longer posts.
    • As a person who likes to read short things, I don't know how much I agree that this would help, but it is worth a shot! 
  3. Build Facebook Groups.
    • We have a page, but maybe a group too?
  4. Insert embedded call to actions. 
    • Already thought of this! Links will be posted on a lot of discussion postings! 
  5. Market across many social platforms.
    • Already have Instagram, Facebook and Twitter on our books! 
  6. Facilitate meaningful connections. 
    • This is something that we talked about really early on.  It is really important for us to build a community on our social media; our posts about discussions is really going to (hopefully) help with this. 
  7. Crowdsource user-generated content. 
    • hmmmm
  8. Be a little weird. 
    • Posting about Superhero things! 
  9. Stand behind your actions. 
    • Always! 
  10. Put a positive spin on things. 
    • Being negative doesn't really attract anyone. 
  11. Provide a bit of structure. 
    • Opening up conversations is going to help with this!
