Too many profiles but too little time?

To attract new connections or readers, it is important to keep your profiles and content up to date. This is increasingly challenging as the number of social media sites escalates; some of which I have never heard before.

With a little help from technology and some basic organization skills, managing them can be less tedious.

1. List down all your existing Social Media Profiles

Most of us would probably have signed up for more than one Social Media profile. Recall them and key in your registered username and password on a word document, just in case you need them in the future.

You might want to add on to your army of profiles by first exploring knowem, a powerful tool, which reveals your username availability on the other social media platform. It is also important to book your username spot before someone else does. This will promote consistency in all your social media profiles.

Tip: Using a similar avatar will help netizens recall and recognize you across all social media.

2. Identify your favorite Social Media Profiles

There are a couple of Social Media profiles that we prefer. Identify them and stay focus. Regardless if it is for friendship or business, this will help you produce a more concerted effort in your campaign.

Because of its user-friendly interface, Twitter and Facebook are presently the favorites. Rather than diluting your time with other social media, it is wiser to focus on your preferred media. Spend more time connecting with your friends in Twitter and Facebook. It is the quality that matters, not the quantity.
