#1 Have the Same Profile Picture
Have multiple social media accounts to manage?
That’s great!
But make sure that you can be easily recognized.
Your Facebook, Twitter, and any other profile should all have the same picture of you. Trust us, it helps!
When people are searching for you, it can be confusing if you have a bunch of different pictures. They may not be sure they have the right person.
When you use the same picture across all of your social media accounts, your customers will have an easier time finding you. And that’s good for you too!
Do you want your social media profile to be used mostly for your business?
Well make sure you create a separate account from your personal one.
Why is that important?
Think of it this way.
Do you want new customers seeing pictures of your cute dogs, or info about new product releases?
I’m sure your dogs are adorable, but that’s not really the type of content your customers need to see.
Social media is everywhere!
There are tons of social media platforms to choose from with new ones popping up every day. So choosing the right ones for your business can be tricky.
Don’t worry! We’re here to help.
There’s really no point in having 15 profiles if you’re only really using 2 or 3. And chances are your customers aren’t using that many sites either. Focus on the big ones. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest. Pick ones that you’re comfortable with using and that you’ll consistently update.
It’s also worth taking some time to figure out what social media outlets are working best for you and spend more time on those. If your users aren’t really engaging with you on Instagram, it’s okay to spend less time on that.
It doesn’t help you to have a Google+ account if it’s just gathering dust, or whatever unused social media profiles gather. Pixelated dust?
Always, always, always keep your content positive!
Sure, complaining is human. We all do it!
But your social media page for your business is no place for it.
It’s also not a great place for politics, current events, and other controversial topics. Remember that your customers are all different and may not always agree on things like that.
Keep in mind that the things you post affect the way people see you, and ultimately you want your unit or customers to see you as friendly and professional.
That’s great!

#2 Narrow Your Focus
Well make sure you create a separate account from your personal one.

I’m sure your dogs are adorable, but that’s not really the type of content your customers need to see.
#3 Limit Your Profiles

#4 Stay Positive
