it with the likes of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Google+, LinkedIn and many
more. Never the less you don’t have to have presence on every social media
platform, just pick the ones where you can make a meaningful impact to your
target audience, and do synergies.
Rule 2: Provide
Meaningful Content
Share something the followers will like to read or share, not something only you will read. First, you can focus on the content that would support your brand image. Humor could be interesting, but if you want to build a professional image, don’t share them on your pages. Share some posts which are meaningful and valuable. Second, make use of visual content.

All of these works are to get them to share your posts on their social network, this might take time, but your efforts will be noticed sooner or later.
