Creating The Perfect Social Media Post

Is there such a thing as a perfect tweet?

I like to think so. Certainly, there are strategies, guidelines and norms to follow on Twitter to maximise user engagement, awareness and interest. And there are many things you simply should not do unless your intention is to drive people away.

At the very least, simply by using proper grammar and punctuation, sourcing your facts and figures, uploading an image, tagging others and using hashtags in your tweets, you will significantly increase the odds that your message will be seen by others and, as importantly, read and shared.

Each social network has its own best practices, and this visual from CJG Marketing provides a wealth of tips on how to write perfect posts on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube.
