Sharing is Caring

 

One of the great things about social media marketing is the ability to share content with your audience.  Not just your content, but content from other sources as well.  “Doesn’t this just help my competitors?” you may ask.  No.  You’re not sharing content from your competitors, but content that your audience would enjoy reading from sources that help to support what you’re telling them.  You want to establish yourself as an expert and a trusted source for information.  This doesn’t mean that you only promote things you write and create.  Being an expert means gathering content from lots of sources and keeping up with what others are saying. 

In the spirit of content sharing, I want to share with you a great infographic I found on Pinterest (talk about ultimate content sharing) that was created by Social Metrics. Social Metrics provides a social media analytics plugin to help you analyze and measure your social media success.  They also have a blog with lots of great information like the content I’m going to share with you.  (Check out http://socialmetricspro.com/blog/ to see more.) It sums up a lot of great points in an easy to read infographic. These are great tips to remember when you’re creating your social media marketing strategy.

 So go ahead and press retweet or share the next time you see great content on someone’s page.  It can be beneficial for you and your audience to share the content of others.  Just remember to always credit where the content came from.

 Here’s my shared Social Metrics content for you. Enjoy!
