My approach to social media is as much about listening as it is about writing. Knowing your audience—who you’re actually speaking to—is the first and most crucial part of creating good social media. While researching your target demographic is helpful, even more valuable is social listening: What is your audience telling you with their engagement (or lack thereof)? What imagery appeals to them most? What type of content do they respond to positively and negatively?
Without a strategy, social media marketing is like throwing together a bunch of unmeasured ingredients and expecting to get a delicious meal. Success requires careful planning, consistent execution, and genuine engagement with your audience.
