Tips if you're having a bad social media day

Everyone needs tips for social media and most people struggle, even if they've thousands of likes, follows and comments. 

I say this whilst we're in the heart of the Christmas period, which can feel overwhelming. It's magical with decorated trees and festive excitement filled with catch ups. 

Then there's technology, namely this morning a post draft disappearing, 30 minutes lost and you decide you can't face rewriting it! 

I see why those new to social media struggle. Even when you've been doing it for as long as I have, and you love it mostly, you still have days where you think, I just don't have time for this. 

Remember, 

1. it's not always like this,

2. some platforms are better than others, & 

3. the days the tide flows in a certain direction, stop swimming against it! 

With any task, there's bits you enjoy and others, not so much. If you focus just on the negative, eg all the blood, sweat and tears, you'd never get to the end when it all pays off. 

So if you need some encouragement today, find something that took time but you eventually achieved progress. 

Social media is another skill. Once you learn and practise enough, it's lots of fun and creates lots of opportunities.
