Social media is one of the fastest and easiest ways to keep your audience updated on sales, giveaways, events and new products. It can also be a valuable communication tool when addressing issues that may impact your audience or business. But putting out updates that add value takes time, planning and strategy.
It can be a challenge to stay on top of all the latest social media updates, especially when there’s so much happening across each platform. But being informed can help you turn these changes into opportunities for growth.
Whether you’re just starting out or are a seasoned pro, coming up with fresh ideas for posts can be challenging. That’s why it’s important to find a source of inspiration that will give you the tools you need to create content your audience will love.
Posts that add value to your audience can reach a wider audience than those that simply promote your brand or services. Adding value could be something as simple as sharing a useful tip or piece of advice; highlighting an issue that your audience cares about; or introducing a new member of your team.
The social media landscape continues to evolve at a rapid pace. Some of the major updates to keep an eye on include Pinterest’s new feed layout, Instagram’s test run of lockable Reels, a new way for users to interact with Instagram Stories and increased post scheduling options for Reddit Pro. In 2024, Facebook made significant updates to its social media tools and policies including a new ad type that allows users to vote or share feedback on their experience.
