I haven’t properly instagrammed in a week. This is really, really bad. Usually I have a flow of work on the go and a flow of social media posting alongside. This all stops when I loose focus.
This is how I think I should be using my social networks. Again it’s about consistency.
Instagram is the key to posting on all my social networks with one tap of the iphone. VSCO is the new beautiful kid on the block for taking the images.
A morning post should simply be a good morning. A picture is always good. (In my job I should do an outfit post but I don’t look anywhere near as glamorous as my business perceaves.) So instead I could do a garment or the view from the window, something nice and inspiring.
A lunchtime post can be something I’m working on at the time. If I’m not working on anything then a link to an old blog post or product that vaguely links to something topical.
An end of day post can be a complete new product or design. What have you achieved by this point in the day?
An evening post can be a sharing post. I watch films every night so I can share this. Or something I’m listening to or something news related. Just natural stuff I’m interested in.
Yes it can be a bit tricky copying and pasting links but it’s not too bad. And that link is worth it.
Then … it’s time to check all the networks for comments and interactions. I can also post comments and interact at this time too. Just half and hour of engagement is that’s needed.
It’s nearly the end of the day here so what have I achieved?
