Now a days about 1/3rd of  time spent online is on social media. Social media is constantly on the news; buzzing in on our Smartphones and helping customers build relationships with brand.

11.      Don’t aim too much on the audience size.
To increase the number of followers or likes is short term. If people are encouraged to follow your Instagram account for a contest and they don’t win, you end up losing your followers. If a community is created and valuable content is shared, the audience will grow on its own and sustain-ably. Go for quality rather than quantity.

22.      Avoid jumping in on every cultural conversation
Many articles let out fun aimed for brands and feel compelled to share their opinion on celebrity blunder, world event. Some things are better left as they are.

33.      Respond to positive feedback
Tie a bow on the interaction whenever you get a positive one because the customer is likely to say good things about you again. They get easily influenced by opinion of others, so when the openly express their love for your brand, its valuable. Thank people for their feedback and give incentives wherever possible.

43.      Don’t avoid nights and weekends
You may be working Monday to Friday but your serving community is global. Spanning the time zones across the world and checking social networks apart from your normal work hours. Think about all the times the whole week you check on Twitter and Youtube.

54.      Do not repost same content on every channel
You might be having a great idea about posting a video or infographic but don’t post it everywhere your brand is present. Each network has different capabilities and audiences. When you publish same thing everywhere, you give your audience a chance to not follow you everywhere. After all, who wants to see the same thing four times?

65.      Review your posts and don’t set excessive goals
Social messages live and breathe the communications which require responses. After scheduling some messages in a day and then not checking what responses it got, won’t do the task. The whole point after all is to be social.

Setting too many goals align with the greater goals of your brand and prove the ROI of being social. But if planned too many, is not a long term thing to do. Focus on increasing awareness, generate leads, converting them, speedy service and up selling opportunities.
