This infographic from PRMarketing.com discusses how to make your social media strategy more effective. As a blogger, you might not think that you need a social media strategy, but everyone who builds a brand, whether that brand is personal or corporate, should have a plan in place for social media interactions.
Having a social media strategy doesn't necessarily mean that you have to sanitize or censor your engagement with readers, but it will give you a framework that's consistent with the voice and tone of your blog and your personal brand. This becomes crucial when you're trying to streamline your social media interactions: every tweet or update counts.
