Which social networks should you be using?

We're asked often about which social media networks business should be active on. When a new network comes out, many organizations perceive value in jumping aboard right away. While it may be tempting to be the first one at the table, it's important to remember that the world of social media has gottent to the point where the new social networks rarely compete, much less survive, against the giants like Facebook and Twitter.

Any social media presence should be deliberate and well-planned. This includes which network you're choosing. As a rule of thumb, Facebook is a tremendous default. It's very much the elephant in the room. Beyond that, consider your audience and where they are most active. If you have a very visual product, Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube, or Snapchat may be for you. If you're a B2B business, LinkedIn is essential. Wherever your audience is, be there.

That being said, it's easy to spread yourself too thin. Social media activity is very much an investment. If you're going at it alone, managing multiple accounts simultaneously is often a recipe for disaster (consistency is important in ensuring success, and 3 accounts that are managed "just ok" are far worse than having 1 very well-managed account). Don't bite off more than you can chew.
