Social media platforms are evolving, and so should our approach to using them. The old rules of social media no longer apply, as the focus shifts from quantity to quality. It’s no longer about accumulating followers or likes; it’s about creating meaningful, engaging content that resonates with your audience.

Brands are now publishers, and as such, they need to think like one. This means creating content that is relevant, engaging, and shareable. It’s not about pushing your products or services, but about telling stories that your audience can connect with.

The rise of mobile has also changed the social media landscape. People are consuming content on their phones, and this needs to be taken into account when creating content. It needs to be mobile-friendly, easily digestible, and visually appealing.

Data is also crucial in this new social media era. Brands need to use data to understand their audience, tailor their content, and measure their success. It’s not about guessing what works, but about knowing what works and why.

Finally, brands need to be authentic and human. People connect with people, not faceless corporations. So, show some personality, be transparent, and engage with your audience on a personal level.

In short, the new rules of social media are about quality, relevance, mobile, data, and authenticity.
