For marketers and businesses, social media can yield significant results. When run effectively, it can help to achieve key goals, like generating leads and increasing brand awareness. However, getting started and refining workflows can often be a challenging task, especially when it means trying something new. With the speed at which marketing, social media, and technology more generally are changing, staying up-to-date and streamlining processes is crucial. Use this as your checklist to make sure you\u2019re on the right track, or to use as inspiration when you\u2019re looking for ways to refresh your operations and strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Treat a content calendar like your first born child.<\/span><\/h2>\n

For a content calendar to be effective, it needs to be maintained and given the love it needs. Plan a month in advance and leave room for reactive posting. Knowing what\u2019s being posted and when can help to ensure that you have a strong content mix, which is important to keep your audience interested and engaged. For inspiration, have a look at key dates in the calendar and see what others in your industry or niche are posting.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plan your monthly campaigns a quarter ahead and your content a month ahead (with wiggle room for reactive marketing)<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re considering executing a campaign from end-to-end, start to plan a quarter out. Campaigns take time to develop, requiring strategies based on past data, a large amount of copy, varied creative assets, budget planning, significant stakeholder engagement, and so much more. Create a rough schedule to adhere to, with key targets to check off along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Schedule your posts, but check they have been published<\/span><\/h2>\n

Scheduling is one of those tasks which should only take seconds, but ends up eating 30 minutes of your day. Bulk schedule your content, using a tool like Buffer or Sprout Social, and set reminders to check the content has been published. This will save you precious time throughout the week, leaving you the space to focus on other activities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assign roles and responsibilities in your team for efficiency<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being a marketing generalist has its perks, and it\u2019s great for every member of a team to have a basic understanding of each process. However, everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and assigning specific tasks can help to achieve maximum efficiency. This way, each team member provides a unique contribution, and there are clear responsibilities in place, giving every person an opportunity to become an expert.<\/span><\/p>\n

Document workflows for efficiency and consistency, so that new members can hop in<\/span><\/h2>\n

This may sound obvious, but it\u2019s easy to forget to write down processes when it seems as though everyone is familiar with them. When new team members join an organization, it\u2019s best to have easily accessible files to refer to. This should include best practices, who owns specific channels, how to access and work key tools and platforms, and any other necessary pieces of information.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use AI, but make sure to sprinkle your content with your own flavor<\/span><\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no doubt that AI has made many aspects of social media marketing that much easier. From streamlining processes, to creating caption copy, it\u2019s become the personal assistant that many hoped and dreamed of. However, when it comes to written content, it\u2019s important to make sure that you are tailoring prompts to adhere to your brand voice or alternatively, altering outputs to be certain that they reflect your brand guidelines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Be ready to embrace unexpected trends<\/span><\/h2>\n

Social media campaigns don\u2019t always go to plan. Sometimes, content just doesn\u2019t resonate with an audience, or cultural shifts mean that you have to reconsider your messaging. Checking in on your data will give you an idea as to how your campaign is performing, and what might need to be tweaked to see changes in your metrics. Be ready to switch things up when needed. Adaptability is crucial in running successful campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Outsource content creation where needed: when and how to do it<\/span><\/h2>\n

Anyone can run a beautiful campaign, whether you\u2019re a natural born content creator, or you don\u2019t have an ounce of design experience. Tools like Picsart can help you to create striking visuals, no matter your skill level. Knowing your audience and what makes them tick is enough to get started. Create with manual tools if you\u2019re already a seasoned graphic designer, or opt for Picsart\u2019s AI tools like AI Logo Generator<\/strong> and Brand Kit<\/strong> to see your visions come to life in just a few clicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Regularly assess your processes in line with new tech, changing trends and what works for you<\/span><\/h2>\n

Keeping up with new developments in technology can help you to stay competitive in your industry, free up time, and make processes easier. Each quarter, take time to assess what\u2019s working well and what needs to be updated. Perhaps a new social listening tool may be well suited to your needs, or you need more AI design support due to a team member\u2019s departure. Identify your pain points and adjust your processes as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Avoid burnout as a solo marketer or small team\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Preventing burnout can often be the last thing on a marketer’s mind during busy periods. Take regular breaks and have time away from your screen to make sure that you\u2019re operating responsibly and healthily. If you\u2019re concerned about missing important updates, set alerts for urgent items. Tackling obstacles and planning strategically takes brainpower, so ensuring that you have the mental capacity to work effectively is important.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every business is different, so make sure to take the tips that apply to yours. If you\u2019re a B2B business, it\u2019s unlikely that you will need to leave as much room in your content calendar for reactive trend content, and if you\u2019re a freelance marketer running the social media accounts for small businesses, you may need to wear more hats, rather than delegating work. No matter your circumstance, it\u2019s important to know what\u2019s going on in the industry to keep on top of new developments, best practices and audience expectations. Expect to see your social media efforts start to flow with ease, while seeing serious results.<\/span><\/p>\n
