Everyone knows that consistency and adhering to a schedule in day to day operations is important for your business.

Well, the same applies to social media marketing.  Implementing and utilizing one centralized calendar for your team members can help keep everything running smoothly.

Social media marketing is all about quality — quantity should not be your goal!  

How often should we post…

Here are some social media posting baselines, to keep in mind when you are trying to decide on your posting frequency to each of your social streams:

	Facebook	Twitter	LinkedIn	Pinterest	Google +
Minimum	3 X per week	5 X per week	2 X per week	5 X per week	3 X per week
Maximum	8 X per week	No max	5 X per week	8 X per week	10 X per week

 

Keep in mind the above table is not a required posting frequency guide, it is the suggested posting frequencies to help implement your post scheduling plan.
