Do you struggle with certain aspects of social media and wish you had some quick tips to take your account to the next level? During last month's social media training for NCBP members, Mastering Social Media for Your Organization (&You!), Sameena Safdar provided some great takeaways to use in everyday practice: --Use catchy and creative opening lines to grab your followers' attention by opening with a quote or question. --Make it easy on yourself and create eye-catching graphics using templates and a free tool, like Canva. --Don't bog down your posts with too many mentions or hashtags. Using these sparingly will allow your post to create more impressions. If you must tag more than 3 or 4 accounts, take it to the comments. --Comment, don't just like! Commenting on posts boosts visibility for the original post and puts you in the conversation, shares your brand, and expands your network.
