Quick Highlights for Best Practices for Social Media and Real Estate
HubSpot recently created a list of Social Media best practices for the big three: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. As the consumer experience moves further into the social sphere, businesses must learn to not only use social media, but to utilize it effectively. Here are some highlights from the article. You’ll notice I included more Twitter tips than the other two – this is because Twitter is leveraged ineffectively and less often than Facebook or LinkedIn.
Summary of Facebook Best Practices
- Remove links from the post once a thumbnail is generated. No need for URL redundancy
- Use photos over links
- Post Timeline photos rather than uploading whole albums
Summary of LinkedIn Best Practices
- INCLUDE a shortened URL in your posts, otherwise click tracking to your site is lost
- Share sparingly, usually once per day
- Use Groups to share your links and content
Summary of Twitter Best Practices
- Short! 120-130 characters
- Include Twitter handles (@SomeoneInMyCompany)
- 2 or fewer hashtags
- Use visuals, try to avoid text-only tweets
- Use Twitter’s photo uploader, (Instagram photos do not show up natively in a Twitter feed)
- USE SHORTENED LINKS (i.e. bit.ly, ow.ly)
