We agree social media can be overwhelming at times! Today's tip will help you determine the right type of content and where to post it...once you understand the lifespan of a social media post! -------------------------- These lifespans are organic in reach but you can always extend any post with boosts and paid promotions OR think about going "LIVE!" FACEBOOK: A post on Facebook has limited reach. Consider video (the most reach), followed by photos, links, and then tex...t. The highest organic reach and longest lifespan would be a LIVE VIDEO INSTAGRAM: If your content is good, your feed posts could have engagement for days. A story's lifespan can be extended by saving it to your highlights. PINTEREST: Write great content with optimized keywords and you could have engagement for up to a year. TWITTER: The short lifespan of a tweet allows you to tweet the same thing several times throughout the day. Again photos and videos perform the best. Happy posting! - the SKB team
