But unless it is used strategically, it can be a massive time vacuum, with a disproportionately high amount of time and resources allocated to it above other channels, for sometimes minimal results.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote><p>While your customers may think each social media post only takes five minutes to complete, by the time you research and write your posts, find relevant images or videos and then do any follow up comment moderating and answering of questions across each platform, it can take hours.<\/p><p>Posts need to get your key messages across to your target audience in a tone or voice they will understand, in order to achieve your business objectives and should align with your social media strategy.<\/p><p>With each post you should be trying to think of the best ways to maximise engagement, whether it is through using video rather than an image, stories rather than a post, the time you are posting and any relevant hashtags and
