Social media can be overwhelming if you aren’t sure where to start or how to keep yourself focused and on track.
Here are two simple strategies that will save your sanity and help you get results – engagement, traffic, leads and clients.
1. Choose the right networks to stay focused
Don’t try to be everywhere on social media. You do not need to be on two dozen social sites. I suggest no more than 4 (unless you’ve got an assistant or some serious systems in place).
Here’s how to choose the right networks for your business:
2. Follow a checklist to stay organized
When you’ve got a daily/weekly/monthly checklist, it’s much easier to stay on track. You’ll know which actions to take to get the most out of the time you’re spending on social media.
Here’s a great one to start with:

Hey Michelle,
It is really very informative Infographics and it contain lot of beneficial information pertaning to subject. I’m totally agree with you – most of people show their face on several social media platform but as result they didn’t provide concentration to every channel.
Social media means you need to active – and this key makes you successful. I personally also follow this rule – I work for 7 social sites but from my end, always try to fully active on those channel for better results. Eventually, thanks for sharing your worthy experience with us.
With best wishes,
Amar kumar

One thing that has been really helpful for me in keeping track of social media sharing groups on face book is that I create a list in Google keep, each day I have a list titled social media and today’s date. Then when I add links to a thread, I type the groups name and the social media venue. For example bloggers2brands- stumble, instagram, and facebook. This way I don’t loose track of my role in participating. It’s totally simplified facebook groups for me. When I complete my sharing, liking, commenting, I delete the list.
