Get Your Social Media 5 A Day

A couple of weeks ago I shared my 45 minutes a day social media marketing campaign but of course there’s more than one way to skin a cat as they say.

Today’s marketing campaign for photographers is an à la carte approach sharing and a great way to keep tabs on all of your social media presences.

How it works

There are 25 suggestions here so aim to do 5 of these (one from each section) each day. Do this everyday and by the end of the working week you’ll have done all 25.

Customise

My suggestion are using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, other people’s blogs and your own blog or website but you can of course adapt these to fit into your social media presence.
