My 15 Minute Roadmap For Social Media Success

The following is my 15-minute road map for social media success.

Morning

Each morning, the first thing you should do when you sit down at your computer is:

  1. Check to make sure your website is up and running (1 minute)
  2. Check your email for important tasks/comments that need to be handled right away (2 minutes deligate if necessary)
  3. Go to Twitter.com and check to see if you have any incoming Tweets or direct messages. Reply if necessary (2 minutes)
  4. Go to http://search.twitter.com and see what people are saying about you and your school. Reply if necessary (2 minutes)
  5. Let your community know what you are doing today on Twitter (1 minute)
  6. Go to Facebook.com and check your Facebook Page. Respond to any comments or questions if necessary. (1 minute)
  7. Post any important news or info on your Facebook Page (1 minute)

Evening

Before you go home for the day, you might want to repeat this process. When you first start using social media, posting twice per day may not be necessary. But as your social media use increases and the number of friends, fans and followers increases as well, the time and frequency that you check in on your various profiles will also increase.

The trick to keeping your social media use to less than 15 minutes per day is to 1) schedule it on your daily calendar and 2) don’t become obsessed with checking for incoming messages.

If you can schedule 15 minutes in your daily calendar so that each morning when you come into the office you can run through the following tasks, complete them, and then move on with your day, you won’t be temped or feel the need to check your Twitter and/or Facebook profiles every 30 minutes.

So that’s my big advice here…SCHEDULE YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA TIME IN ADVANCE… and if you want to keep your social media use to less than 15 minutes, never schedule any more time for it than that.
