questions; don’t ignore (or remove) negative
feedback.

more engagement than negative ones.
5. Host a Timeline contest or promotion – Pages
can now host contests and promotions right on
their Timelines by asking fans to Like or Comment.
(Use a third-party provider to pick a winner,
aggregate and export data.)
6. Include images – Posts with images are more likely
to be shared.
7. Make images mobile friendly – Since most users
access Facebook via mobile, choose simple, clear
images that are easy to see from a phone/tablet.

@johndoe Thanks for the input! We
love to hear from fans! Check out our
latest post, I think you’ll find it useful.
1. Use action words: more verbs, fewer nouns.
2. Ask them to download your ebook, PDF or other resource
3. Ask for a retweet
4. Use at least one of the 20 most retweetable words/phrases:
you twitter please
retweet post blog
social free media
help please retweet great
social media 10 follow
how to top blog post
check out new blog post
* These tips are from Twitter and Dan Zarrella, author of “The Social Media Marketing Book” who analyzed 200,000
link-containing tweets.

Consider adding Twitter Card functions to your website. Twitter Cards allow you
to attach media “experiences” (photos, video, copy summary, etc.) to your tweets.

Google+ Post Tips
1. Use bold headings – Type a * on either side of
the words you want to appear *bold*. Sprinkling
some boldfaced words in your post will draw
readers in as they scan their feed.
2. Use hashtags – Hashtags tell readers what a post
is about. Readers can click on a hashtag and see
other relevant posts. They also help you index your
own posts so you can find them later on.
3. Write posts that are just long enough – Posts
should be succinct but compelling enough that
people want to follow the link to a longer article
or video.
4. Include an image or video – Just like on other
social networks, posts with images stand out in the
stream.
5. Share to “Public” – This will make your post
publicly available. For posts you want to share with
a smaller group, choose circles, email addresses, or
groups from the drop-down menu.
6. +1 people in your posts – If you’re referencing
someone else’s work, +1theirname when you write.
This is a way to show appreciation for their content.
For example: Thanks to +1MartinShervington for
these tips!

Linkedin UPDATE Tips
1. Topics – Share breaking news/trends in your
industry, sneak peeks about new products and
features.
2. Calls to action – Lead people to resources such
as eBooks, blog posts, videos, etc.
3. Links – When you paste a link, edit the text that
is automatically pulled over so it’s clean and simple.
4. Images – When you paste a link, it will
automatically pull a thumbnail size image (a) into
the status update box. To include a more
eye-catching image, take a screen shot and use
that instead (b). Then paste the link into the status
update box.
5. Analyze – 1% engagement is the goal.
