  Be Succinct!
  
  Social Media is fun but it can also be an amazing tool for engagement of your audience and potential clients. It is always a good idea to state clearly why you are making a post and to limit it to one single call to action. Let’s say you have a photo of yourself playing at an event—are you posting this to try to get similar work? If so, do not use this time to also, for example, advertise your recorded events on YouTube. You do not want the reader to get bogged down with multiple calls to action and become overwhelmed and disengaged.
  
  In summary: Draw attention to one single call to action per post!

  Engage!
  
  Creating a social media profile is not enough to promote your business. It is critical that you engage on that platform to share your profile. Think of your profile like a single tree in an enormous woods . . . how will it stand out? Find your audience, share your posts to their page, and share their posts to show your engagement. Engagement is key!

  Watch For Trends
  
  If you notice a pattern or strategy rising in popularity and it aligns with your messaging, then it’s a great idea to capitalize on it to drive engagement. Be mindful though, you never need to create a particular type of content just because you see other brands doing it.
