Be active when your customers and readers are active

If you are the one who is based in India and targeting USA readers or  customers then you should work as per the USA timings. Check your social media statistics and analyze the best time when your followers are active. There are many good articles & infographics  live on web those are sharing best time to post on Facebook, Twitter and so on. Below is one quote that I got from kissmetrics.com on social media timings.

Timing is extremely important when it comes to posting on any social networks. Imagine updating your wall post when everyone is at work or when they are sleeping. It would be better to post after work or when people are in transit. These are the times that people are most likely to check for updates on their social network accounts.

According this post by Dan Zarella (@danzarrella), the best time to share on Facebook is noon and a little after 7pm.

So, yes the ‘Timings to be active on social media profiles is really important and for every social media channel we have different timings and days”.  Study the below presentation for more, Thanks for QuickSprout for data –

So if you want to foster social engagement, share photos, videos and infographics to make people more likely to lean forward. You can use those to point back to meatier content that people can devour if intrigued by the social.  – Shane Snow, Contently

Organize Contests 

People love to be the part of contests going on social media sites so that they can win attractive prizes and gift vouchers without even doing some real hard work 🙂 Contests not only build engagement on social profiles but also they help a lot in building brand awareness for new people.

Mention Biggies In your Posts

Tag the bigger brands and people in your updates, It is always a great idea to be the buzz of town. You can mention them on Twitter, Instragram  & on Facebook. If your post is positive for their brand, they’ll most likely retweet or reshare it and expose your brand to their audience as well. If your audiences overlap, it’s a win-win situation for both parties involved.
