Key Points To Take Away
- – The ideal number of (organic) tweets per day is only… 3. However, given that the average lifespan of a tweet is only 24 minutes, it’s crucial you re-iterate the same message in various times of the day.
- – According to Google+ expert Mark Traphage, 3 posts per day from Monday to Thursday and between 9 am and 10 am can yield some really impressive results. We may add here that engaging in conversation in Google+ communities is also really important – after all it’s all about conversation!
- – Facebook is saturated, so keeping a healthy 2 posts per day rate will help you maintain your audience’s interest unaffected, according to Social Bakers.
- – 5 pins per day during weekend is a good start to a great audience growth on Pinterest. Working hours are a no-no – there’s no need to procrastinate during office hours!
- – Go with two images per day on Instagram. Make sure they’re absolutely awesome and you could possibly increase your posting frequency to 10 times/day without negative impact.
- – Best time to post on LinkedIn is Tuesday to Thursday, just before leaving the office. Keep it brief; 1 update is more than enough.
- – With the rise of content marketing, going without a blog is not an option. Start with 2 posts per week and make sure they have original, useful, interesting content. Don’t postpone it for later.
