By its nature, social media is a short attention span media—you have to catch attention quickly while readers are scrolling through dozens of posts at a time.
- Social media is a highly competitive venture with a short attention span – in other words, get to the point!
- Always attach images with your posts- many links from websites will automatically attach an image.
- Be consistent. Post content related to Rotary as often as possible
- Use eye-catching images
- Be relevant. Know your audience
- Be entertaining
- If you ask readers to “share” they are more likely to do so.
- Never post pictures of children without having explicit permission to do so.
- Whenever possible, be sure to inform people who are in pictures about the intention to share the photographs on social media.
