Easily Start Valuable Conversations on Social Media Using These You have decided that you need to get your hands on a stack of social media prompts. Because you have made the commitment to post consistently between 3-5 times a week for the next 12 months. The decision came after you learned about how social media can impact your business in a positive way. Let me know if you can relate to this. Social media is not a new concept to you at all. In fact, you've had accounts on 2-3 platforms for a few years. However, each time you tried posting on social media in the past you will run out of ideas in a few weeks. What you need is a consistent flow of ideas to last you for a good 90 days or even a year. If only you can get your hands on a resource that not only give you social media ideas but also a good list of fill-in-the-blank options too. In this post, you will learn more about what to post on social media and how to get access to 365 days of social media captions for your business. All you need to do now is decide which two social media platforms you want to master. Why Social Media is Good for Business In case you never really took social media seriously or if you are not clear about how to get results for your business this is for you. Looking at social media's history you will see that the first social media site was called sixdegrees.com. It was born way back in 1997 that is over 20 years ago which is amazing when you think of the age of social media. However, the first social media site to hit one million monthly active users was MySpace and that was back in 2004. Social media allows you the ability to make connections and even grow a network with like-minded people. When you think about what it takes to grow a business from an idea to a multi-million dollar company it is all about connections. "It takes a village to raise a child" is a very famous African proverb that makes a ton of sense. John Maxwell said, "It takes teamwork to make the dreamwork" and he is so right. Putting this into the context of social media and business, you will find the team you need to make your dream business work using social media. Collaboration is the Secret In recent times, I wanted to put the concept of collaboration into practice to see if it works. If you are one of my regular readers you know I enjoy scientific experiments, at least the fun ones. Lol!! I wanted to write a collaborative piece on content marketing so I reached out to 50+ people on social media asking for their input. One of these people was the Chief Marketing Executive of a very popular company. Would you believe that he responded to my request positively? He even gave me the name and contact person in his organisation who I should collaborate with to get their input. Since then I have managed to build up collaborative relationships with over 20 people who I never knew existed before my experiment. As a result, my business continues to get exposure day after day from potential clients and collaborators in the business world. Presence is Important There is something super important that I need to highlight before I tell you about social media prompts. Imagine for a second that I decided to conduct this experiment but my social media accounts were abysmal. In other words, people are constantly looking at what you are doing as well as how often you show up online. When I did my social media outreach campaign, if my profiles were stale and dated do you think I would get a response? Who would like their business to be associated with social media accounts with a questionable history? What I am saying is this, if you want your business to grow ensure that your social media profiles are up-to-date. Constantly ask yourself if one of the companies or influencers that you admire were to reach out to you will they think twice? If the answer is,
