For today’s Tip we’re going to share a generic social media tip.
Don’t forget to have your website linked from your social media profile and vice versa. You want to make it easy for people to find you – don’t make them work for it! Make sure your social media channels are linked from your website (and do ensure they open in a new tab/window!) and make sure your social media profiles contain at the very least an obvious website link.
Don’t be bashful – be seen!
A very short tip on Tuesday this week….and you’ll see why.
Everyone is aware of the 140 character limit on Twitter so a great way of maximizing those characters is to use shortening software for any web links. These services take a long URL and condense them down to use less characters – perfect for inserting into a tweet! We use them regularly – go on, check out our Twitter feed to see!
Our two favourites are Bit.ly and Goo.gl – both of which come with tracking and stats on clicks.
For today’s Tip we’re going to be looking at making your Facebook profile just a little more approachable.
We’re a big fan of the milestone facility on Facebook; we think it adds a touch of personality to let your followers know what you’re up to.
They’re easy to create and – if you feel your Facebook page is quite dry with basic information – give a little more colour and emotion.
Create them by clicking on the three little dots next to the share button and adding the information therein. The great think is you can add them retrospectively – so spend five minutes filling in your milestones and plumping up your profile!
