Platform-Specific Best Practices
- Personal profiles outperform company pages 5-10x
- First 2 lines are the hook (before "see more")
- Carousels (PDF documents) get highest reach
- Comment on 10-15 posts before/after publishing for algorithm boost
- Polls get reach but low quality engagement
- Best times: Tue-Thu 8-10am
Twitter/X
- Threads outperform single tweets for depth
- First tweet must stand alone as a hook
- Quote tweets with added value > plain retweets
- Engage in replies to build visibility
- Trending hashtags only if genuinely relevant
- Best times: Mon-Fri 9am-12pm
- Reels get 2-3x the reach of static posts
- Carousels get highest saves and shares
- Stories for daily engagement and polls
- Use 3-5 hashtags (down from the old 30)
- Collab posts for cross-audience growth
- Best times: Tue-Fri 11am-1pm

Engagement Tactics
- Comment-first strategy — engage with 10-15 accounts in your niche before posting
- Reply to every comment within first 2 hours (algorithm signal)
- Ask questions — posts ending with questions get 2x comments
- Tag and mention — give credit, tag people you reference
- DM engagement — thoughtful DMs to new followers builds community
- User-generated content — reshare and credit customer/community content
