Hi,

Does anyone have any tips on creating & implementing their CONTENT/plan for social media?

I am using facebook, twitter, pinterest & instagram.  I have launched my Fb profile by doing a 1 day ad – I got 140 likes and it was a Saturday.  So its a start. I feel confident that my topics beauty and weightloss will attract attention and I can get likes & interest with persistent effort.  But what after that???

I have a basic strategy for now until jan 2013.  I will be posting catchy headlines with links back toartciles my site – that will solve the question/concern that raised on FB.  (I do not know what my audience concerns are as engagement has not started).

My site is to educate and motivate.  (I tried being funny and Im no good at it).

I write good articles that are correct and in a friendly voice.

So I will post: 

1.  links to hot topic articles, to my website

2. motivational banners (just like everyone else)

3. Links to topics of interest eg.  beauty/science & fitness science.

I am planning on doing the FB posting on a Tues & Wed.

Fri I will post make up & clothing ideas pics which I will link back to pinterest & instagram.

How many articles/links/motivationaa pics should I post?  I dont want to be a pest and turn people off – nor do I want to have no presence.

Thanks for any feedback

@chrissc Chris, I’d start with a post or two a day and try different times on the day. I’d continue with changing the number of posts weekly and watch Insights properly to see what is the most effective.

Socialbakers have a good article on this http://www.socialbakers.com/blog/524-how-often-should-you-post-on-your-wall-to-engage-fans

@chrissc I would listen to what  @rich-brooks and  @supereb have to say good solid advice here.

@milan-steskal a blog post everyday is a bit unrealistic, what happens is the blogger tends to churn out a lot of substandard content that goes no where. Also people just starting out feel intimidated to just start churning out content on a regular basis. The big blogs do this because they have multiple write contributing to them in a pre-arranged schedule fo the new few months, so of-course its easy to follow that advice. I know and like the approach of two super famous bloggers… Derek Halpern from socialtriggers and Jon morrow form boostblogtraffic. Both only put up blog posts occasionally, but when they do they are really, really good. So here is my advice.

1. Do your research first, the more time spent her the better your blogging will be
2. Take your time to write a really good blog posts.
3. Focus on quality not quantity.
4. Blog about a burning aspects in your business, something that really resonates with the customers and offer a solution.
5. Don’t sell give information freely, it will come back to you.
6. If a topic has been blogged about alot, see how you can approach it from a new angle. 
7. Use more than one medium to illustrate your point.. images, videos, audio, slideshows, etc…

@milan-steskal sorry, noted thanks
