top 10 Tips for Using Social Media

 Here’s a list of quick tips to get you started building your social media presence.

  1. Define the role of each social media tool.How will your publication use Twitter vs Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, TikTok, tumblr, etc. Who are the audiences of each platform and what is the best use of each application?
  2. Plan and track your posts. A tool like Jostens social can help you maintain a social media calendar and track usage and analytics.
  3. Set standards for behaviorby posting news, not gossip. Encourage feedback from readers but monitor comments. 
  4. Be inclusive. This is used to promote the whole school, not just the yearbook program.
  5. Be sure to give your readers something, whether it’s stories, teasers, photos, contests, or fun. Try to avoid using social media just to ask for stuff (orders, feedback, etc). 
  6. Use hashtagsto get more visibility and increase readership.
  7. Be accurate. Follow AP style. Make sure student names and grade level distinctions are correct.
  8. Keep it short,posts with fewer characters receive better engagement than longer posts. Write for someone who checks social media accounts for a few minutes between activities.
  9. Make it visual. Add images like photos. If a post is text only, try to stylize it to make it more visually appealing. 
  10. Vary the style of your poststo give your readers a reason to read. Some may be serious and newsworthy, while others may be interactive and fun.
