How do you communicate with your audience on social media?

Do you know when to use # hash tags and why you need to? Do you use them on Facebook or not now that Facebook owns Instagram is a common question. The short answer is that Instagram and Twitter are the platforms to use # hashtags on and this acts as a search tool. Facebook will allow you to use some # but I recommend you only use a couple of these. It is not a search tool at the moment for Facebook but it can help identify some of your searchable topics on the other platforms to those following you on Facebook.

Here is an example of how you can communicate on the various social media platforms on the topic of Surfing.

Facebook- Man, I love Surfing.

Twitter– I am #surfing right now

Youtube– How to surf in 3 easy steps

LinkedIn– Surfing is one of my many skills

Pinterest– This is my favourite surfing locations

Instagram-had an awesome day in #hawaii #ridingthewaves #surfinginhawaii #catchingthewaves #surfing #surfcity

Google+- I work at Surf City and we love to surf

Easy when you know how -right?
