4 Costly Mistakes Businesses Can Make on Social Media
Social media can either be an asset or a hindrance.
Social media is a powerful tool, but with this power comes great responsibility. Failure to understand just how influential and damaging social media mistakes can be will result in long-term damage and issues that inhibit growth. Thankfully, many of the costly mistakes businesses make are totally preventable.
Social media’s visibility and wide reach are its greatest strength and its greatest weakness. When you do something good, positive exposure can be extremely helpful to your brand. When you do something wrong, everyone is there to witness your shortcoming. With that being said, it’s critically important that you avoid making costly mistakes.

Social Media 101 - Set up an Instagram Business Profile
Last time on Social Media 101 we learned how to create a Facebook business page. This time I will be walking you through the process of creating an Instagram Business Profile.
Instagram is a photo and video sharing platform that was acquired by Facebook in 2012. In the time since the acquisition the platform has seen massive growth, reaching over 600 million users in 2016. They've also added a number of features recently that make the platform even more valuable for engaging and marketing to users including, Instagram Stories, Live Video, and shoppable posts. The first step in getting started on your Instagram strategy is to create a Business Profile for your brand. By doing this you unlock a number of features, analytics being a major one, that will allow you to better gauge the success of your Instagram efforts. The process of creating a business profile is an easy one but it does require that you create a Instagram account for your brand and that you already have a Facebook Business Page.

5 New (Pre-Christmas) Social Platform Features Updates You Need to Know About
Even as we head into the final days before the holiday break for most, the major social platforms are still releasing new tests and updates, with the arrival of Facebook’s new Messenger group video chats, live-streaming direct from tweets and the ability to save posts on Instagram. Of course, not all of these updates are major, not every one will have an impact on your strategy. But then again, impact is relative - what’s minor to you and your business could be huge to someone else.
As part of our ongoing effort to provide you with the best coverage of the latest social media news and insights, we feel it’s important to cover all of these updates and tests - but sometimes they’re not worthy of a their own individual post.
