Print & Tick! A Platform-based Social Media Checklist

Convirza Blog Team04/24/2019

Who wouldn’t like to get paid to browse social media? If you quickly scan through a social media manager job description, you will notice all they have to do is be on social media, right?

Wrong!

The truth is far from simply browsing social media. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to state that browsing social media platforms is just 5% of their daily tasks. A social media manager has to think way ahead to execute their social media marketing plans.

OK, where to begin?

I think I am forgetting something.

Thoughts like these run through their head the whole day.

Social media success doesn’t happen by chance, it’s planned.

Click To Tweet

Therefore, it’s important for social media marketers to stay organized and keep track of their work. For this, they need a checklist to complete their tasks efficiently.

Social Media Marketing Checklist

This checklist highlights the basics of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube. Following social media trends can help you decide the items you’d like to add to this list.

Social media management requires commitment, vigilance, wit, and consistency. Social media success is an evolution, not something you become overnight.

Final Thoughts

Social media marketing is a dynamic endeavor. The tasks and demands evolve constantly and seem to get big and more involved. Many of the activities are not onetime tasks or jobs that can be performed randomly. The social media manager role requires dedication and sustained effort.

The basic daily schedule of a social media manager includes numerous responsibilities, and hence it is obvious to miss some tasks. Having a social media checklist is the best way to be up to date and not miss anything. Plus, it will maintain your sanity.

In the comments section below, let us know anything you do that increases your social media success.

Happy Marketing!

Thanks! The first draft of any blog isn’t the best version. Make sure you write every thought as it pops and then later edit the content. Ideally after a day of writing it.
