It's not easy. If you look with longing at the numbers of your friend's rising social media followers, you should know it does not come easily. The people with growing social media numbers have a social media content calendar, a posting schedule, and have mapped out the national holidays that pertain to their business. If you want to grow your audience on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, or any platform, you need a social media schedule that has a clear posting schedule personalized to you. Then, the tricky part, you have to execute the plan. People are growing their audiences not by luck, but by sticking to a schedule so they can engage with people #IRL. Small businesses are having success on social media not just because they understand who their target audience, but they make a plan to connect with them socially based on their likes and dislikes.

Forethought = Time
