1Make It Routine

Page 6: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

There are plenty of startups that post five times a week to Twitter and once a week on Facebook (essentially, whenever they have “news”).

Don’t be one of those.

Page 7: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

Tip: block 15 minutes on your calendar every day for social media maintenance, say, 9:30-9:45, and make it part of your daily routine.

2Force Multiply

Page 9: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

Your page probably has fewer followers than you do.

And certainly fewer followers than your team has combined across platforms.

Page 10: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

Tip: cross-pollenate your personal and work accounts and enlist the rest of your team to do the same.

3Create Your Own Content

Page 12: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

You may not have time to blog every day or build infographics, but there are easy ways for you to create your own content. Start with the phone on your camera.

Page 13: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

Tip: take lots of photos! Of your office, your product, what you ate for lunch, a walk around the neighborhood. It’s an easy way to show some personality and build out your content assets.

4Don’t Be Afraid of Third-Party Content

Page 15: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

We know you didn’t write it, but sharing third-party content that’s relevant to your industry or brand helps you to tell a broader story about who you are and what you believe.

Page 16: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

Tip: make sure you mix in a healthy percentage (up to 75 percent) of third-party content, especially on networks like Twitter and LinkedIn.

5Use Shortcuts Where Available

Page 18: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

We get it, you’re busy. If you can find a shortcut (or shortcuts), then by all means you should take it. For a small company, that means finding the tools or processes to make you more productive.

Page 19: Five ways startups can be lean and mean in social media

Tip: research a set of curation and publishing tools that will help you get more done in less time (ideally those 15 minutes you block on your calendar each morning).
