Define your social media strategy and set your goals

Identify the right platforms for your business
Every social media platform has a unique set of pros and cons – which means you can be selective with your approach.
Starting off with platforms that make the most sense for your business will help you save time and avoid becoming overwhelmed by your content calendar.

Define your brand voice
Your brand voice is like your company’s personality – it’s how you speak to your audience. And it might slightly differ from platform to platform.
Consider how you would talk about your business, products, or services to a friend as you refine your brand’s tone of voice!

Create and manage your social media posts
After you define your goals, choose the platforms you’ll use, and develop your brand voice, it’s time to start creating and posting content.
As a busy small business owner, a helpful way to avoid becoming overwhelmed when creating content is to practice content batching.

Track and measure your social media goals
The key to a successful social media strategy for small business is consistency.
