Best Practices for Social Creation and Curation

There is a lot to do when it comes to content creation and curation. There are a few best practices in

this area of social media. These practices can help you plan, organize and discover ideas for

content. The first practice is to create content worth sharing. The goal in this practice is to not waste

your audience’s time. If you focus on quality instead of quantity you will catch a hold of more user

attention. The second practice is to look at the data and see what the numbers tell you about the

content you have shared. Numbers are essential for social media. Data will show you if what you are

doing is or isn’t working. It will also show insights that can be used to better content creation. The third
practice is to invest in the time to interact with audiences to find out what they are looking for on

social media. Research is the most important thing when it comes to creating content for social

media. You need to invest time in research to understand what your audience wants to see from

you. You can’t assume that you know these things without any research. The fourth practice is the

make the extra effort and provide more than the audience expects. Always go beyond what is

expected of you. This will pull in your audience and allow you to stand out from competitors. The fifth

practice is to edit. Your content will always be under a microscope. People will catch your mistakes

or have an opinion on how you worded something. The sixth & final practice is to find time to write

when you think you don’t have any. You should always be creating time in the day to research

content to share on your posts. 

I think these are really good practices to grow your personal and professional accounts. It can be

hard to actually know what you should be posting and how often is best, so these practices were

really good to learn about.
