Social Media Tip #1:

Using social media platforms to promote your business is the modern day equivalent of running an advertising campaign, so every word counts! Try writing your posts out ahead of time to give yourself the freedom to edit and proofread prior to publishing the post. You could even have a friend or coworker proofread your post for any punctuation, spelling, or grammatical errors. While Spell Check is a great tool to utilize, it isn't fool-proof, so proof-reading your posts prior to publishing is key.   Do you need help getting your business’ social media campaign up and running?
