5 ways to reduce social media exhaustion
If you’re using social media to build your business, you know firsthand that it’s easy to get burnt out. Maybe you’re just tired of posting, maybe you’re just sick of reading other users’ updates, but whatever the reason, it happens to all of us.
While we love all of these tips, this one is our favorite: “It is safe to say that those who are new to social media want to make the best impression. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that they have to post inspirational quotes and song lyrics ad nauseam, they will still want to showcase a generally positive attitude. However, when social media exhaustion sets in, it’s very likely that demeanors will change. If people do not showcase tiredness with the messages or tweets they put forth, they might actually appear snappish towards others. To put it simply, the more people that you drive away with poor networking, the more tired you’ll be with social media in general. The best – and possibly only – advice that can be given is to simply walk away and come back to your page at a later time.”

7 ways to improve Twitter engagement
Are you on Twitter? We sure hope so! Regardless of if you’re a seasoned Twitter user or total newbie, you’ll be able to find some helpful tips in this article. One of our favs is #1, which states: “Understand the difference between engagement and broadcasting. Engagement is a conversation that is always a two-way street. It is not telling someone about your latest product you want them to try. Sometimes we forget that we are communicating with an actual person, not their profile. Remember social media interaction is human-to-human.”
