While Snapchat offers creative options like staying anonymous, and Facebook is effective for marketing, there are key platforms to consider. For professionals, LinkedIn remains pivotal as both a networking tool and a publishing platform. Use it strategically and think creatively about its potential.
Personally, I find Twitter invaluable for real-time interaction and dedicate significant time to it. If managing multiple platforms, LinkedIn doesn’t demand daily attention; a couple of times a week for a few minutes suffices without consuming much time.
It’s a misconception that social media needs to dominate your day. Platforms like Twitter and Facebook can be managed effectively with minimal daily investment, possibly just 15 minutes.
The big question is: Should you engage with Periscope, YouTube, Snapchat, or Instagram? If your focus is on products, Instagram can be particularly effective. Marketers should capitalize on Instagram’s unique potential to grow their email lists, leveraging visually engaging content.
Snapchat is evolving, and while it aligns with Gary Vaynerchuk’s insights, its suitability varies. Educate yourself thoroughly before committing.
