Social media is such a weird place to be honest. 

Appropriate is not even the word to use when referring to social media. Because there are times when inappropriate posts and content surprisingly go viral. Even when you feel that in your right mind some things out there are not supposed to be given some attention, nor should they go viral. 

As per observation, these five things are frequently overlooked when it comes to using social media effectively and appropriately. 

Here they are:

• Don't post just for the sake of posting. There are a lot of people who do this. They think posting more is good. That's not what it does.
• Whenever you engage in social media, you should speak a language appropriate to the platforms you are using, industry-specific, and for the people you are talking to.
• Make sure you plan ahead. It may be impossible to keep up if you post without a plan, but developing a content strategy can help you stay organized and effective.
• Worried about your ability to write creatively? You don’t have to be a writer when it comes to social media. In fact not all trained writers understand how to write for social media. You know what does?  It’s the people with creative skills.  

Understanding what social media can and cannot accomplish for you is the key to doing social right.

Sometimes, when things on social media get too noisy and all confusing. Taking a step back might be what's needed to question whether social media is even something you need to be doing. 

If you feel that you’re better in a different department. The best solution is to outsource your social media management and marketing to an expert strategist who will help take your social media presence to the next level. 

And the most effective thing you can do is to study how other brands are making use of social media to become successful. Just be mindful at the same time because what works for someone else may or may not work for you. 

So if appropriateness is your concern, just take note that It takes a lot of subtlety to create awesome content.  Quotes may be liked by some, but others find them inauthentic and useless. 

Listen closely to your audience and it will be one of your effective ways to grow.

Good luck.
