Post when people will see your posts and don’t overwhelm people with too many posts
Social Media Best Practices
Social is more and more a visual medium so use pictures- you get a lot more views and a lot more sharing of your post when you use something visual.
For sharing, you don’t have to put it all out there right away. Put something thought provoking/Biblical and look for the response. Pursue those who like/share/write back

Don’t be fake– it’s harder and harder to separate your “lives” whether geographical lives or digital lives and when you meet a social media contact you don’t want them to walk away wondering what happened to the online person they thought they knew
