They think before they act. Successful social communicators know what they want to accomplish. They have a strategy. Are you trying to generate new business? Establish yourself as a thought leader or influencer? Strategists know how much time social marketing will take, and plan for it as part of their day.

Advice from Katie:
“Don’t be a broken record. No one wants to hear the same things over and over from your or your brand. This is where having a content strategy really comes into play. Take the time to brainstorm all of the different things you could talk about on your social channels and then make sure you have a nice balance day to day of content.”

They know their channels. Twitter is for conversation and relationship building. Facebook readers will turn off your feed if they feel you’re spamming them — you need to do something readers can participate in and engage with. Show something funny, or an article that will catch their eye.

They know their target audience. Are you directing your social outreach to other brokers — or more to potential buyers? Understand the audience you’re aiming at, so you don’t present a fragmented, confusing message.

“If you try to be everything to everyone, soon you’ll be nothing to nobody. For example, if you want to sell luxury property, go for it — and don’t worry about excluding prospective customers. People will still work with you if you’re qualified, no matter the type of property or neighborhood. Pick your niche, so you can spend your time, money and resources wisely within it.” ~ Tracy Weir
