Biggest mistakes with social media marketing. You are not posting frequently To effectively build an audience on social media your content needs to be posted regularly and over a long period of time. There is no hard rule for how much you have to post, and it varies depending on the medium, but your customers should receive several updates a day across all platforms. When a change is made, or a new service is offered, the appropriate shift of message should be mirrored in your social media accounts. In any case, those people should promote a positive image of your brand to their followers in order to extend your reach. You have to make sure before you connect with an influencer, that their values and opinion will not misrepresent your brand to potential consumers. You’re not using it as a place of conversation Social media is not a podium. You’re only making sales pitches Can you think of one person who opens up Twitter when they are looking to buy something? Probably not, people use social media to be either informed or entertained, not to be sold. If you are only advertising your services, consumers will be off put.
