Are you ready to take 2021 by storm? Do you have a plan in place yet? If you are like a lot of folks – right now is a great time to plan out your next year ahead for social media. Here are a few of my most important tips as you map this out.
Time-block. Set aside time daily, weekly and monthly to engage with others, create and schedule content and post content. Get it on your schedule so it becomes a habit and integrated into your business.
Create a pillar content plan. Remember, social media is rented ground so it’s important that you create a plan based on pillar content. Pillar content is content that requires a bit of time, money and/or energy but in the long-haul it is content that is relevant on Facebook as well as on other platforms. Video, Facebook Live, podcasts and/or blog content are ideal forms of pillar content.
Create a distribution plan. Once you’ve created your content plan you want to plan out how that content will be distributed. For example, if you plan to post a weekly video – that video could get uploaded to Facebook, YouTube, transcribed and turned into a blog post, shared on LinkedIn and you could do an Instagram post and/or Story about it. The idea here is to repurpose, repackage and work smarter, not just harder!
