Well damn. Kicking myself because I missed #ACESchat this week.
And now I’m pondering what my special sauce is…barbecue?

At this point, I don't use a scheduler for my social media! I don't post often enough or across enough platforms to justify it. #ACESChat

A5: Blog posts with writing tips, helpful social posts, webinars, #ACESChat or presentations are ways editors can show off their knowledge in service of marketing goals. Whether these are comfortable to you and fit with your goals/audience determines whether you should try content marketing. 2/2

When I was being more active on social media professionally, Buffer was what I used to. It's pretty user-friendly and allowed me to post on multiple platforms. #ACESchat

A5: I do love content marketing! The idea is that you provide valuable content to your potential audience upfront, without trying to sell them on anything. It can get tricky to determine the payoff from content marketing because there usually aren't direct sales metrics attached. 1/2 #ACESChat

We use Buffer, and it works pretty well and seems easy to learn/figure out. #ACESChat

Good Q! Two considerations:
1. Are your audiences the same on both platforms? (You might be spamming the same people!)
2. Do the platforms play nicely? (With IG/Threads/FB, they play nicer as Meta platforms.)
I often make tweaks to content across platforms, even if the meat stays the same #ACESChat

How do you feel about posting a curated post on your preferred social media account (say IG) and having it automatically share to another, like Threads? Is it better to not share if the format doesn't cross over? #ACESchat
