  4. Keep Updates Short and Sweet – Like it or not, folks are into short nowadays. There is a place and time for longer pieces, but generally try to keep posts short – 150 characters or less.
  5. Deliver Awesome Content – Creating lots of great material that others can use and are talking about and sharing will always be the main goal here.
  6. Engagement with Your Readers – Don’t be shy about inspiring conversation, asking questions, holding contests or anything else that gets the conversation rolling!
  7. Be Responsive – Take complaints seriously, and be proactive in response to anyone who asks questions. You can head off a lot of issues by doing this.
  8. Post Photos – According to Facebook, posts that include a photo album, picture or video generate about 180%, 120% and 100% more engagement than text-only updates, respectively.
