next, **define your goals**. what do you want to achieve? brand awareness, engagement, leads, sales? knowing this will shape your strategy.
then, **create a content plan**. consistency is key. plan your posts ahead, mix up your content (photos, videos, articles), and keep it relevant to your audience. tools like buffer or hootsuite can help schedule posts.
don’t forget to **engage with your audience**. don’t just post and ghost. respond to comments, join conversations, and show your brand’s personality. people love interacting with real humans, not just brands.
finally, **keep learning**. social media is always changing. follow industry blogs, take online courses, and experiment with new features and tools.
good luck, and have fun with it!

u/YellowUnlocker, I get where you are coming from, I was overwhelmed for my first couple of days as well. Are you doing this for a company? If so, do they have a set content strategy? If they don’t, I would start by creating one.

Start by picking one or two platforms that your target audience is most active on. Define your goals—whether you’re aiming for brand awareness, engagement, or sales. Planning and scheduling posts in advance helps with consistency. Tools like Buffer or Hootsuite can make that easier. Engage with your followers actively, and regularly check analytics to see what’s working. If you’re looking for professional support, a leading digital marketing company could provide further insights or management.
