General Social Media Tips

Keep in mind your personal brand and be consistent across platforms. 

• Your profile photo, headline, and bio/summary will create the first impression for people who land on your page. Make it memorable. 
• For each platform, check the current photo image specifications and check the headline/bio and summary character limits.
• Like, comment, and share people's posts or Tweets (Twitter).
• Create and post your own content; some ideas include posting a photo, video, or audio recording. On some platforms, you can also create polls, share files, and link to articles.
