5 Social Media Tips - May 2020

Hey friends,


I just want to preface this post by saying I am no way a social media expert. BUT I spend hours upon hours every week researching, asking questions, watching videos and testing out different tips and tricks. I also do social media for a handful of small businesses, so I like to think I know what I am talking about. BUT social media is an ever-changing beast! I am going to share 5 tips every month so we can tackle the best together.


1) THE first hour!

You want to respond to comments and encourage engagement within the first hour of the post in order to continue increasing the posts exposure because Instagram judges how popular your post is during the first hour of the post being posted.

Instagram hashtags, which are super helpful to increase the reach of your posts. Currently, you are allowed to use up to 30 hashtags per post! 

I like hiding my #hashtags in the comments, it's just a preference.

3) #Hashtags questions

Questions to ask, when it comes to #hashtags,

  • How often is the hashtag used/is it popular?

  • How many posts have used that #hashtag?

  • What content is being shared under the hashtag? 

Create your own #Hashtag. By using your username.

Example-

5)PHOTO QUALITY! 

You do not need a professional camera, to get professional-looking photos. Your camera phone is a great option, that just about everyone owns.

70% of my photos are taken with an iPhone


I hope these tips help you tackle social media this month!


xoxo,


Ellie Jade
