If you’re launching your brand into the world of social media, you probably feel like a toddler with a set of arm floaties in the deep end of the pool. However, there are 4 tips I can give you to help toss those floaties and dive on into the water.

  1. You have to make the time. Most of us don’t just jump in the water and swim like a pro. It takes time, and similarly you have to dedicate time to social media management. Your Facebook and LinkedIn pages won’t update on their own.
  2. It’s important to find your style. Every brand is different and often down swim at the same pace. Find your rhythm and get in tune with it. You’ll find better things will come when you just ‘do you’!
  3. To master it, you have to do it often. No one won a swim meet by practicing when they remembered to. Social media is no different. When you update your social media channels more often, you’ll see results more regularly as well.
  4. Asking for help is OK. Sometimes we all need a little direction, and that’s ok. Not everyone is a natural and we can all learn from each other. Try taking a glimpse at social media brands that are similar to yours. You can see what works for them and adapt it into your style if it fits.

Most importantly, don’t be afraid to ask for help with your company’s social media. 5 Stones Media is your friend! We offer social media management services that can either help you manage your business’ accounts, or provide consultations and advice.
