“How To Start a Social Media Routine - A Method To Your Madness”

“How To Start a Social Media Routine - A Method To Your Madness”

By Shaun Hinklein

So its Monday morning and you’re back into your social media routine. You might not refer to it as a social media routine yet. Maybe its just random checking here and there on Twitter mentions,
Facebook likes, and shared content on Pinterest and Tumblr, but did you ever think of creating a method to the madness?

Social media never sleeps and if you were so allowed you’d be able to contribute and evolve your campaigns using it 24-7.

This goes hand in hand with reputation management. With the good comes the bad comments that might hinder the brands digital identity. This will also be the damage control segment of the day, though this is ongoing considering it can occur at anytime.

What helps me find these before anyone else is an intense obsession with Google Alerts, Sprout Social, and Google Trends. Hootsuite works as well, but you’ll have to stay diligent and refresh the streams.
