Social Media Rules of Thirds
⅓ of your social content promotes your business, converts readers, and generates profit.
⅓ of your social content should surface and share ideas and stories from thought leaders in your industry or like-minded businesses.
⅓ of your social content should be based on personal interactions and build your personal brand.
1 2 3
Why is sharing outsider content by other businesses or thought leaders so important? It shows your audience that you know the industry like the back of your hand. You know the market. It also doubles your exposure by connecting your content to their audience or online community.
