Our top tips for social media
- Try to keep your posts simple, informative, and just think about what you would find interesting as a reader. Most of us make a call on whether to read a social media post in just a couple of seconds. So make sure yours grabs attention.
- Share video, pictures and graphics.
- Video content is the most engaged with content in social media. But if you are not prepared to make a film then your next best option is to choose a good image to support your post. Photos of people, projects and data can be highly engaging and will add something to your post.
- Use hashtags and namecheck other people.
- Leverage your networks by name checking people in the activity and use hashtags like #CIOB to join a bigger conversation.
- Don't forget commenting on someone else's post is a great way of entering a conversation and extending your own reach.
