“10 MINUTE A DAY”
SOCIAL MEDIA ROUTINE
www.audaciousleap.com
.
Many businesses (small & large) often struggle with social media. Measuring it is one thing but the discipline of routine updates is another. We came across an infographic (below this post) that addresses a simple daily social media checklist that can be adopted by organisations of all sizes. I have to put in an early warning here that there is no one-size-fit-all ‘social media plan’ but this routine is sure to get some discipline in place for your social media and get you on the right footing.

Post At Least 2 Interesting
Topics A Day
Find and “Like”
1 Page A Day
Make sure you keep it relevant to your industry. All of us bump into some interesting facts on the internet throughout the day, so whenever you find one, just post it, but don’t forget to add a brief comment with an opinion maybe, so it does not look automated. If you run out of ideas you may want to try some authority website in your industry.
Here you’ve got a bit more freedom. Apart from industry relevant pages you may also like other pages to show your audience that you have diverse interests. A good idea is to like pages that your fans like – “Know your audience” remember?
Not much to say really, the more people engage with
your page the better.

TWEET AT LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY
You should never ever forget to tweet about your new blog or promotional offer but on the other hand loose the sales pitch and don’t be too self obsessed. A completely unrelated funny tweet is very welcome once in a while and shows your followers how cool you are, right!
DAILY ACTIONS
FOLLOW 10 NEW PEOPLE PER WEEK
Start off with the influential people in your industry, followed by other businesses you have established relationships with and then everyone you think is worth following. Be sure to follow back people who follow you – it’s good manners obviously
RE-TWEET 2 INTERESTING TWEETS A DAY
If you like a tweet in your feed, you may want to re-tweet it. It saves you the time of finding something yourself and also enhances your relationship with the user who tweeted it first. If he knows you like his tweets he will look at you with a good eye.

Google+ Daily Actions on your G+ Page
POST AT LEAST TWICE A DAY
Much like on Facebook, try to keep it relevant to the industry with occasional funny post to show your not “all work and no fun”. As Google+ is still considered a bit more “professional focused” the trend is to share an opinion on the articles you are posting to show you’ve read it all.
DAILY ACTIONS
ADD 5 NEW PEOPLE YOUR CIRCLES
Same again, influential people in your industry and anyone you find interesting.
OFFER HANGOUT SESSIONS
Make use of this Google+ feature and host Hangouts for topics in your industry or other issues that concerns your audience. The more sociable you are the better. Educating people also boosts your profile’s authority.

POST IMAGES EACH MONTH
As Pinterest is inherently a visual platform, creating original content is not that easy, which is why you need not hurry. Take high quality pictures of your new products or examples of work and upload them regularly. If your business is offering services, try to think of infographics or other ways of visually presented data that can be of interest to your audience. Always use keywords and tags and make sure your pins link back to your website. Although the Infogprahic says you need to add a new board each week, we find that unrealistic. Companies usually have a fixed number of boards, mostly based on the type of products or services they offer

Ask For
Recommendations
Carefully select the people you want to connect with. This is not like Google+ or Tweeter, don’t just send request to everyone you see. If you don’t know the person or you do not have much in common they will probably reject it.
Find companies within your industry and follow them to be on top of any updates they are sharing. It is always useful to know what they’ve got to say and of course they may follow you back.
Recommendations are brilliant but if you don’t ask for it the chances of someone sitting down and writing one are much slimmer.

A Hint From Us
You’ve got so much to do – posting, tweeting, re-tweeting, blogging, uploading pictures, sharing videos so you might need some help. We recommend using Hootsuite. The free version allows managing 5 social profiles. Everything you post will appear on all your profiles at the same time. It will save you lots of time and provide consistency across all your profiles. With the scheduled post option you can specify when a certain post should appear and thus keep your pages updated regularly without the need of you doing it manually at certain periods.
We take your goal and vision and put it into practical action steps to get you there.
GOOD BYE !
