Setting Up A Social Media Calendar
Setting up a calendar for your social media content is going to save you a lot of headache, because you'll be able to plan and prep for the month(s), in advance. Spend a day once a month, or once a week, planning out your social media content in advance. Write out on your calendar what you'd like to post for each day, so you aren't wasting hours on a daily basis trying to come up with content. Download and print our free social media calendar below, and start tracking what you plan to post. Automate as many of your postings as possible so you have less to do.
1. Social media is SOCIAL. So, even on the posts that are for advertising purposes, make it fun, and not spammy.
2. Add as many graphics and videos as you can to each post. Avoid doing many posts that are just text based.
3. Folks aren't on social media to buy/sell a home, the hard-sell will turn-off more followers than it will get you.
4. Create strong call to actions, so you're followers have direction, instead of just scrolling past.
5. Check your posting analytics. You can see which posts have the best engagement, and do more of those.
