I’m going to give you a bit of a reality hit and tell you my top social media mistakes
Learn From My (Social Media)
Mistakes
I’ve made my fair share!
and it’s embarrassing when pointed out!
Not Double Checking Posts and Updates for Spelling and Grammar
You’re on your phone and rushing to post your update before your meeting starts…
Always double check your spelling and grammar, it looks really bad when a typo goes out to your network…
Nobody likes a ‘me me me’ on social media
Always Sharing Other Peoples Content
For every 10 updates you post:• 8 should be external• 2 should direct readers to your site /
promotion / or other call to action
Follow the
rule
I preach to my clients about being consistent yet when I’m tied up with client work (which is
always!) my own networks suffer
Being Inconsistent
I now have one of my team doing my content marketing so even if I’m not getting
time to engage, I’m present
Only follow those who add value to your day, e.g. they help you to upskill, are active in your industry, someone you’d like to work with or create a relationship with
Following Everyone Who Follows Me
It just seems like good manners right! Wrong. Does everyone you follow follow you in return?
Anyone else is just noise in your news feeds
I now have push notifications for all these so I can thank on the run (so no ‘too busy’
excuses for me)
Not Thanking Connections for Sharing, Engaging, Recommendations or Endorsements
During my ‘busy’ periods, I haven’t logged on to see who’s been awesome enough to engage
with me or my content
Huge mistake
If in doubt,backspace it
out!
Last But Not Least, Misinterpretation
A smart/funny or clever update that makes perfect sense in my head … doesn’t quite translate in written word
The last thing you want to do is send out the wrong message
Tell me a mistake you’ve made (and learned from)
I’ve made more mistakes but these jump to
mind - Now that I’ve bared my soul
it’s your turn to ‘fess up’
