Social media is one of the most cost-effective ways to get your business in front of your potential customers.
For brands, having a strong presence on the platforms where their target audience spends time is essential.
Effective social publishing is key to building a strong social media presence. This involves implementing strategic techniques that enhance visibility and engagement to reach a wider audience.
Here are 10 social media publishing tips to find a balance of automation, collaboration and data-driven insights to ensure your brand remains active, responsive, and connected to your audience.
1. Publish Consistently to Stay Top of Mind
Publishing on social media consistently is a sure-shot way to leverage top-of-mind brand awareness. It helps people remember your brand when they think about a specific product or service.
For example, if I say “soda,” you might immediately think of Coca-Cola. That's what it means to be "top of mind"—the first brand that pops into your head.
If your brand posts regularly, people see it more often in their feeds. The more people see something, the more likely they will remember it.
Seeing a brand’s name and logo frequently (with engaging content) makes the brand appear more familiar and trustworthy. Trust makes it more likely that people will choose your brand over others.
Tips to help you publish consistently
Create a Content Calendar
Plan your posts in advance for the week or month to balance variety and avoid last-minute stress. Highperformr tool helps you create 7-days of content with one prompt using AI Copilot.
Schedule Posts in Advance
Having a steady stream of content scheduled is a great way to ensure your social media stays active, even when you are busy with other tasks. Plus, when you schedule posts, you can ensure they're going out at the best times to reach your audience.
Repurpose Existing Content
Don’t always start from scratch. Repurpose blog posts, videos, or other content into smaller, shareable snippets across various platforms. Here’s a guide for repurposing content on social media.
Set Posting Reminders
Use reminders or notifications to stay on track with your posting schedule even if you are using a scheduling tool.
Use Templates for Quick Posts
Have ready-made social media post templates for certain post types, like announcements or promotions. This speeds up content creation and ensures brand consistency.
Monitor Performance and Adjust
Keep an eye on how your posts perform, and adjust your content or frequency based on what works best for your audience.
2. Tailor Content to Your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP)
An ICP is a fictional representation of your company's ideal customer. If you ask yourself who stands to benefit the most from your product or service, consider what they do, where they live, their interests, challenges, and behaviours—this forms the basis of your Ideal Customer Profile (ICP).
Create content that directly addresses their needs, pain points, and goals, making your brand more relevant and engaging to them.
How to create content for your ICPs
- Give value in your social posts for free by identifying the key challenges your ICP faces and create content that offers practical solutions.
- Give your ICP easily applicable takeaways. It can be a step-by-step guide, a checklist, or a how-to video. Make sure your content is consumable while they scroll their social media feed.
- Incorporate case studies that closely mirror your ICP’s situation. When they see someone like themselves benefiting from your offering, they’re more likely to engage with your content.
3. Tag and Mention Key People to Amplify Reach
When you tag others on your posts, your content is more likely to be seen by their followers. This will expand your reach beyond your immediate audience—a key to social publishing for more engagement, shares, and interactions.
Highperfomr makes it easy for you to @ mention people or company pages while scheduling your post.
Whom to Tag on your posts
- Tag your employees or teammates when sharing milestones, product launches, or behind-the-scenes content.
- Mention influencers who align with your brand to attract their attention and prompt them to engage with or share your content.
- If you're collaborating with someone, tag them in your posts to reach their audience as well.
- Tag loyal customers or active followers to thank them or highlight user-generated content, making them more likely to share your post with their networks.
4. Involve Multiple Users to Scale Publishing
Collaborate with your team to produce content regularly on their social media handles.
Every team member has their unique set of followers and connections. By tapping into these networks, your brand can gain exposure to a wider audience, boosting visibility and enhancing engagement.
How to involve multiple users to publish
- Assign roles/permissions to clearly outline who will create, review, and publish content.
- Create a shared social media publishing calendar to plan and schedule posts. This helps ensure that everyone knows what is being published and when, promoting consistency.
- Tagging your teammates can boost their engagement and encourage further participation.
5. Repurpose and Repost Content for Maximum Visibility
Don't always start from scratch. Take key points from a blog and share it on social media to direct visitors back to your blog for detailed information. Edit longer videos into shorter clips for reels. Pull impactful quotes or statistics from your original content and design eye-catching graphics.
Similarly, you can also combine several pieces of related content into a comprehensive guide or resource. This can be promoted as a downloadable PDF or a series of linked posts.
6. Track Audience Engagement Trends
Monitor audience engagement trends to understand what resonates with your followers. By regularly checking performance metrics, you can gain valuable insights into what works in your social media publishing strategy.
How to Use Analytics Effectively
- Look at which posts have the highest engagement rates—likes, shares, comments, and click-throughs. Analyse what made these posts successful (topic, format, timing) to double down on it.
- Pay attention to who is engaging with your content. Understanding the demographics can help tailor future content to better meet their requirements.
- Look for patterns in audience behaviour, such as peak engagement times or content types that perform consistently well.
- Adjust your posting schedule accordingly to focus on days that yield higher engagement.
- Ask your audience what they want to see. Conduct polls or surveys to gather direct feedback, and use that information to guide your content strategy.
