6 Tips to Stay Consistent on Social Media

Sep 20

Consistency is key to your success on social media ✨📱

It’s not the first time we’ve said this, and it definitely won’t be the last. But when we say consistency, we don’t just mean how often you post on social media (that’s your frequency)…

We’re actually referring to how often you post, what you post, the quality of your content, AND how engaged you are with audience. Honestly, finding a sustainable consistency for your social media can be a real challenge… but there are some things you can do to simplify this process.

1. Set clear goals

The first step to finding and maintaining consistency, is understanding your goals. It’s an absolute must to understand exactly what you’re working towards. You need to set SMART social media goals, and you must understand how these goals relate back to your overall business goals and objectives.

2. Have a detailed strategy/plan

Next, you need to understand how you’re going to achieve your goals. So, this is where a detailed strategy comes into play. Your strategy acts like a set of rules or directions for how you’re going to achieve your goals.

3. Batch your content

It’s important to optimize your content creation process. Do this by batching your content. Batching will help you manage and prioritize your time, and ensure you always have your content ready well in advance, so you aren’t rushing to complete it last minute.

4. Be realistic

Set goals, objectives, and timelines you know you can achieve so you can celebrate your accomplishments rather than feel like your goals are always out of reach. For example, instead of aiming to post 7 days a week, make your goal to post 4 or 5 times a week. If you go above and beyond your goal, that’s amazing, but you won’t go under.

5. Focus on quality over quantity

When we’re talking about social media… quality is always better than quantity. Focus on quality content, engagement, and interactions. Regularly review your analytics to determine the types of content that resonate best with your audience, and try to focus your efforts on creating more, similar content.

6. Use scheduling/automation tools

Scheduling and automation tools can be an absolute life saver. Pre-scheduling your content will save you time and help to make sure you stay consistent on social media, while remove the need to be on social media every single day, multiple times a day.

💡 The Big Picture

While your social media consistency is super important to your success on social media, being consistent doesn’t mean that your life must revolve around social media. When you find a consistency that works for you and your business, use these tips to maintain your consistency and achieve your social media goals!!
