Being Creative

A theme I've noticed throughout my studies of  social media is the concept of being creative. However, being creative and creating new content every day is exhausting. So what is it we do when we are fresh out of ideas, and don't know what to do?.. We Google it! While on my search of Google for ways to be creative in social media I came across an article I found helpful. "20 Social Media Ideas to Keep Your Brand's Feed Fresh" is exactly how it sounds. In the article there's ideas for just you running your own personal social media sites or if you're working with big brand name companies. When your followers are hungry for new content, and your expected to deliver on a daily basis it helps to get a push in the creative direction.

I'm not going to list all twenty of the ideas, but I will tell you a couple of my favorites that I myself want to try. Hosting an AMA (ask me anything) would be a fun way for your followers to get to know you and to share your insight with them. Typically you see AMAs on Reddit, but I don't see why you couldn't host one on Twitter or even Instagram. Another fun one is conducting a social media takeover. Have another person or company take over your social media for a day to gain exposure and get your brand in front of new faces. Lastly, you can go live! because there's something compelling about live video.

Your social media shouldn't feel like a burden on your life, so if you find yourself posting the same content every day try out one of these twenty creative ideas and see how your followers respond.
