How to avoid being annoying with social media marketing

Article Overview

The easiest way to turn people off your brand is to bombard them with social media publication. Whether you are tweeting or just posting information of Facebook, the overuse of this can seriously damage your brand. Like all other marketing strategies, thought MUST be put into this, having a ‘bull at a gate’ attitude and oversupplying users with irrelevant content will not win you any new customers or loyal followers. In fact, the opposite will happen, you will just end up annoying them. Following are some golden rules to keep your social media marketing relevant and fresh.

1. Post when necessary

Followers on your social media platforms know you are there, so stay current but avoid over posting. That is, posting 2 to 3 times a day. I have personally seen on my LinkedIn account a guy who posts around 6-10 times a day. This is frustrating and very annoying. Although I haven’t deleted him, I never really pay much attention to what he is saying anymore. It’s total over kill and it’s just diluting his main core message.

Post gradually, this way you will stay in the minds of people, but are respectful of their social media space.

2. Keep your content marketing interesting
