Four Tools to Help Build Your Social Community
All for one and one for all
I’ve found that one of the most important things to do, when trying to build one’s online community, is to participate consistently in your preferred channels. And not just participate as in talk a lot, but share interesting pieces of information, so that your community knows you’re not just in this for you; you’re in this for them as well.
Inevitably, then, the time question comes up. “How can I always be online? Is there a way for me to cut down the amount of time I spend in social media?”
Yes and no. Yes, there are various tools you can use to cross-post your updates, for example, or to automate your updates. But the “no” part of this answer – at least from my point of view – is that if you’re going to try and cross-post every single update, or automate your posting schedule completely, I think you’ll flop.
