At the end of this blog you’ll walk away with the complete anatomy of what it takes to engage, share, and convert with a social media marketing plan. With any good social media strategy, there is a great content strategy behind it. So first, let’s consider what kind of new and fresh content you are creating on a regular basis. Usually the content is a blog - like this one! Another great initiative would be to create video on member testimonials for example.
