Items to Include in Your

Planning to generate and monitor your social media content saves you time.

followers are – and allows you to assume your other responsibilities at the same
time.

Step 5:
Refine
Keep track of what content your
audience is responding to – and what
they’re not.
 Which social media post gained
the highest engagement – clicking,
sharing, liking or ♥ing? The lowest?
 Which channel referred the most
traffic to your website or blog? The
least?
 Did one 3rd party source
outperform the others in
engagement?
Adjust your content to reflect what your customers – and potential
customers – want.
Over time you’ll identify trends and topics for your social media and larger
content marketing strategy.
