And here we have my thoughts: 👇

Thought #1: Set yourself boundaries

Social media platforms are created in a way you could spend there an entire day. Especially when you're growing.

That's why I want to set for myself boundaries.

I decided to spend no more than 2h once a day engaging with others. How can it work? That's my engaging plan:

Morning 20-30 minutes for Twitter
Morning 20-30 minutes for LinkedIn
Afternoon 20-30 minutes for Twitter
Afternoon 20-30 minutes for LinkedIn

I batch it for 2 slots 40-60 minutes, and that's it. Moreover, I want to reduce my time spent on the platforms over the weekend.

It means that I most probably won't answer all of the comments under my posts.

However, with the time I save, I'll be able to grow my own platform - a blog!

Thought #2: Small change in the posting hours

I've noticed that the US traffic on Twitter is a bit earlier than on LinkedIn. That's why I'll change my afternoon posting hours. First I'll post on Twitter and then I'll post on LinkedIn.

It was:

1:25 PM CET LinkedIn
1:40 PM CET Twitter

It will be:

1:25 PM CET Twitter
1:40 PM CET LinkedIn

Thought #3: Repurpose, repurpose, and repurpose

Still, one of my best-performing posts from the past week are repurposed. 5 out of 10 of the best were repurposed from the 3 months earlier period.

Thought #1: Quick engagement is the king

Especially when you're a small account engaging with bigger players in a quick turnaround after they tweet is super important to gain some eyeballs onto your profile and grab new followers.

I use Tweet Hunter 👇 to get Twitter analytics, schedule my tweets, and get inspiration (it's an affiliate link, but feel free to remove the part after ? if you want).
