A little social media friendly reminder

I hate to tell you this, but timing can’t make up for bad content.  It is up to you to find out what makes you unique and what your audience is engaging in. 

One more thing… just because these are the “best times to post” doesn’t mean you can’t post content at any other time.  It just gives you a guide to when you’ll get the optimum exposure.

Always A Work In Progress!

Don’t beat yourself up if you are constantly wondering if you are up to speed with the never-ending changes in the different social media platforms algorithms.  I recommend checking in quarterly on any changes taking place, applying them to the best of your ability, and then just BE YOU!  Don’t forget… you are branding YOU, so being authentic and consistent will always prevail.
