Digital marketing guide

Social media marketing that people actually share

Social media is where your customers spend their spare minutes. The goal is not to post more, but to post things people want to save, share and talk about.

The basics

What makes social media work

Every platform has its own style, but the same four ideas decide what gets seen.

01

Choose your platforms

Be where your customers already are. Two platforms done well beat five done badly.

02

Content that travels

Posts that people share and save reach far more people than posts that only get likes.

03

Consistency

A steady posting rhythm helps the algorithm and your audience learn what to expect from you.

04

Community

Replying to comments and messages builds trust and tells the platform your account is active.

Your first month

A simple four-week plan

1

Pick two platforms

Choose based on where your audience spends time, not on what is trending.

2

Plan three post types

For example a tip, a story and an offer, so you never start from a blank page.

3

Post on a schedule

Batch a week of posts at once and schedule them for when your audience is online.

4

Review every month

Keep what earned shares and saves, and drop what did not.

Common questions

Quick answers

How often should I post?

Three to five good posts a week is plenty for most small businesses. Consistency matters more than volume.

Do I need to make videos?

Short videos usually reach the most people, but clear photos and carousels still work well, especially for saving.

Should I pay to boost posts?

Only boost posts that already perform well without money. Boosting weak posts just spends more to reach people who will not care.
