How do you keep up with your social media marketing strategy every single day? We all have days where it feels like there’s just not enough time to get every single thing done. When these days occur we usually prioritize what needs to be done, hence leaving some things out. One of the biggest things that gets pushed to the side is marketing.
The number one aspect of your marketing strategy has to be consistency. So of all things, it should never be pushed aside. Below is an example of an emergency social media marketing strategy for days when there aren’t enough minutes to get everything done. This is one of those quick fixes that’s specific for situations where you’re really pressed for time.
Putting Your Social Media Marketing Strategy on Steroids
Remember, this isn’t a permanent solution. Use this on days when your time is very limited. Most businesses really should dedicate at least an hour a day just for social media interaction. This includes marketing and building relationships in order to become known as an ‘influencer.’ The main point is consistency and 20 minutes is far better than skipping one day just because you’re too busy.

Choose a high resolution image. A great place to choose images is Morguefile because there are tons you can copy, use and adapt without showing attribution. Look in the free section and make sure that each photo you copy says this:
