From managing the day-to-day operation, developing strategic marketing plans, crafting high-quality content, editing & scheduling the content, fostering a positive customer experience, and handling the finance side are not easy.

You've probably seen this facial expression. Yes, the worry-looking-and-exhausted look from keeping up with all those tasks. But what if I tell you there is a way to manage your social media effectively so you can allocate your time to focusing on the other tasks. Would that help you?

What is social media marketing?

Social media marketing is the practice of utilizing social media platforms such as Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook to promote your business (products/services).

This includes creating content to promote your products/services and/or engaging with your online audience (e.g.: replying to comments, DMs, etc.).

By the time you read the last few sentences, you might realize that managing social media is considered a full-time job and require a full commitment to achieve the goals. Whether you're looking to increase followers, enhancing brand awareness, or driving more traffics, these all require a proper strategy and management from an expert.

3 Tips To Manage Social Media Efficiently

The myth has been debunked. Managing social media efficiently is not easy and in fact, can be challenging especially if you're a small business owner with time constraint.

The good news is that there are a few guidances you can follow along to streamline your effort in managing your social media effectively. So, here's how to manage social media efficiently:

• Set Clear Goals that are SMART

• Create a Content Calendar

• Batch Content Creation

Set Clear Goals (that are SMART)

Whether your goal is to increase followers, enhancing community engagement, or boost traffic to your website, make sure your goals are SMART.

But wait, Levina, what does that even mean?

When you're setting up your goals, be sure to create a goal (or two) that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

For instance, if you have only launched your business two days ago and are aiming to reach 1 million followers by the end of the week, this may seem achievable by purchasing fake followers (which I strongly advise against). However, this target is overly ambitious for a new business owner who has just started their venture.

An excellent illustration would be setting a goal of reaching 1,000 followers by the end of the month. This target is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.

Several business owners are neglecting this crucial step in their social media strategy.

Batch Content Creation

Have you heard the term 'batch content calendar'?

It's basically the practice of blocking a certain amount of time of yours to create multiple content (e.g.: blog posts, collecting b-roll footage, and scheduling the content all at once).

By batching content creation, you can avoid feeling burnt out from creating content every day. This approach allows you the freedom to concentrate on other tasks once everything is scheduled.

Having gained a clearer understanding of how to manage your social media effectively, by applying all these guidelines to your social media strategy, you should be able to effectively oversee your own social media presence.
